Recent advances in Internet and World Wide Web have made
access to various databases and data resources much easier. At the same
time they induce many more problems to make intelligent usage of all data
that are both available and relevant. A result of this novel challenges
is a considerable increase in the worldwide research effort to elaborate
concepts and techniques for efficient support of cooperative work over
the Internet and cooperative building of advanced database applications.
These issues already provided many lively discussions during the previous
CODAS Symposia: the first one was held in Kyoto, Japan, December 1996
(proceedings published by World Scientific Publishing Co.), the second
one was held in Wollongong, Australia, March 1999 (proceedings published
by Springer-Verlag Publishing Co.). The purpose of this third symposium
is to exchange again most recent research results on all issues related
to cooperative database systems and applications. We invite papers on
general database research as well as database systems for cooperative
work.
