The aim of this conference was to provide an international forum for researchers, professionals, and industrial practiti- ers to share their knowledge in the rapidly growing area of Web technologies, methodologies and applications. Previous WISE conferences were held in Hong Kong, China(2000), Kyoto, Japan(2001), Singapore(2002), Rome, Italy(2003), Brisbane, Australia (2004), New York, USA (2005), and Wuhan, China (2006). The call for papers created a large interest. Around 200 paper submissions arrivedfrom41di?erent countries(Europe:40%, Asia:33%, Paci?c:10%, North America:7%, SouthAmerica:7%, Africa:2%). TheinternationalProgramC- mittee selected 40 full-papers (acceptance rate of 20%) and 18 short papers (- ceptance rate of 9%). As a result, the technical trackof the WISE 2007 program o?ered13 sessionsof full-paper presentationincluding oneindustrial sessionand 5 sessions of short papers. The selected papers cover a wide and important - riety of issues in Web information systems engineering such as querying; trust; cachinganddistribution;interfaces;eventsandinformation?ltering;dataextr- tion; transformation and matching; ontologies; rewriting, routing and person- ization; agents and mining; quality of services and management and modelling. A few selected papers from WISE 2007will be published in a special issue of the World Wide Web Journal, by Springer. In addition, $1000 value was awarded to the authors of the paper selected for the Yahiko Kambayashi Best Paper. We thank all authors who submitted their papers and the Program Committee members and external reviewers for their excellent wor
