IFIP -TheInternationalFederationfor InformationProcessing
IFIP was founded in 1960 under the auspices ofUNESCO, following the First World
ComputerCongressheld inParisthepreviousyear. Anumbrella organizationforsocieties
working in information processing, IFIP's aim is two-fold: to support information
processingwithin itsmember countriesandtoencourage technologytransfer todeveloping
nations. As itsmission statementclearlystates,
IFIP's mission is to be the leading, truly international, apolitical organization which
encourages and assists in the development, exploitation and application of information
technology forthebenefitofallpeople.
IFIP isanon-profitmakingorganization, runalmostsolely by2500volunteers. Itoperates
through anumberoftechnicalcommittees,whichorganize eventsandpublications. IFIP's
events rangefrom aninternationalcongress to localseminars,butthemostimportantare:
• The IFIPWorld ComputerCongress, heldevery second year;
(cid:127) open conferences;
(cid:127) working conferences.
The flagship event is the IFIP World Computer Congress, at which both invited and
contributed papers are presented. Contributed papers are rigorously refereed and the
rejection rate is high.
As with the Congress, participation in the open conferences is open to all and papers may
be invited or submitted. Again, submitted papers are stringently refereed.
The working conferences are structured differently. They are usually run by a working
group and attendance is small and by invitation only. Their purpose is to create an
atmosphere conducive to innovation and development. Refereeing is less rigorous and
papers are subjected to extensive group discussion.
Publications arising from IFIP events vary. The papers presented at the IFIP World
ComputerCongress and at open conferences are published as conference proceedings, while
the results of the working conferences are often published as collections of selected and
edited papers.
Any national society whose primary activity is in information may apply to become a full
member ofIFIP, although full membership is restricted to one society per country. Full
members are entitled to vote at the annual General Assembly, National societies preferring
a less committed involvement may apply for associate or corresponding membership.
Associate members enjoy the same benefits as full members, but without voting rights.
Corresponding members are not represented in IFIPbodies. Affiliated membership is open
to non-national societies, and individual and honorary membership schemes are also offered.

Preface
The conference program of the Third IFIP WG 6.1 International Working
Conference on Distributed Applications and Interoperable Systems (DAIS’2001)
held in Kraków, Poland, on September 17th through 19th, 2001, presents the
state of the art in research concerning distributed and interoperable systems.
This is a topical research area where much activity is currently in progress.
Interesting new aspects and innovative contributions are still arising regularly.
The DAIS series of conferences is one of the main international forums where
these important findings are reported.
The papers presented in this volume cover distributed context aware appli-
cations, integration and interoperability of distributed systems, software ar-
chitectures and services for open distributed systems, management, security
and quality of service issues in distributed systems, software agents, mobility,
Internet and other related problem areas.
These proceedings contain 16 regular and 10 short papers, which have been
selected in a careful reviewing procedure with at least three reviews for each
paper plus two ballot phases. In addition, the extended abstracts of two in-
vited talks by Liba Svobodova and Adam Wolisz are included. There were 60
submissions to the conference.
DAIS’2001 was sponsored by IFIP (International Federation of Information
Processing) and it is the third conference in DAIS series of events organized by
IFIP Working Group 6.1 of the IFIP Technical Committee TC6 (Communication
Systems). The first conference in this series, DAIS’97, took place in 1997 in
Cottbus, Germany and the second one in 1999 in Helsinki, Finland.
DAIS’2001 was organized by the Department of Computer Science and Aca-
demic ComputerCentre at the University of Mining and Metallurgy in Kraków.
Formally, the local host organization was also supported by the Committee of
Computer Science of Polish Academy of Science and Polish Information Pro-
cessing Society. The conference was financially sponsored by the Polish State
Committee for Scientific Research, Motorola Software Center Kraków, Sun
Microsystems, Solidex S.A., Comarch S.A., Microsoft Research and other IT
companies.
x DISTRIBUTED APPLICATIONS AND INTEROPERABLE SYSTEMS
Finally, I would like to take this opportunity to thank the numerous people
whose work made this conference possible. The reviewing was a major effort
and it was completed by experts from all around the world. The reviewers are
listed in this proceedings. The local organizing committee, listed also in this
book, was responsible for preparing and running the conference.
I believe that the stay in Kraków, the Capital of European Culture for the
year 2000, will be one more thing to remember DAIS’2001 for.
