Distributed applications are a necessity in most central  application sectors of the contemporary information society, including  e-commerce, e-banking, e-learning, e-health, telecommunication and  transportation. This results from a tremendous growth of the role that  the Internet plays in business, administration and our everyday  activities. This trend is going to be even further expanded in the  context of advances in broadband wireless communication.   New Developments in Distributed Applications and Interoperable  Systems focuses on the techniques available or under development  with the goal to ease the burden of constructing reliable and  maintainable interoperable information systems providing services in  the global communicating environment.   The topics covered in this book include:    Context-aware applications;    Integration and interoperability of  distributed systems;    Software architectures and services for  open distributed systems;    Management, security and quality of  service issues in distributed systems;    Software agents and  mobility;    Internet and other related problem areas.      The  book contains the proceedings of the Third International Working  Conference on Distributed Applications and Interoperable Systems  (DAIS'2001), which was held in September 2001 in Krak?w,  Poland, and sponsored by the International Federation on Information  Processing (IFIP).   The conference program 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.
