Proceedings of the Second Workshop Efis: Engineering Federated Information Systems

This second workshop aims at bringing together researchers and practitioners interested in various issues in the development of federated information systems (FIS). FIS are an emerging research area, addressing the goals of transparent interoperation of autonomous, heterogeneous information sources. As many examples of information systems in application areas show, there is an increasing need to make information available via some kind of network for global applications, but also for local ...
