It collects together 222 peer reviewed papers presented at the 11th Joint International Computer Conference. The theme of this year is "IT : Intellectual Capital for the Betterment of Human Life." The articles in this book cover a wide range of active and interesting areas such as Digital Entertainment, Grid Computing, Embedded System, Web Service and Knowledge Engineering. This book serves as a good reference not only for researchers but also for graduate students in corresponding fields. The proceedings have been selected for coverage in: Index to Scientific & Technical Proceedings (ISTP CDROM version / ISI Proceedings); CC Proceedings - Engineering & Physical Sciences Bibliography Includes bibliographical references Notes English Print version record Subject Solid state physics -- Congresses Stability -- Congresses Computational complexity -- Congresses Statistical mechanics -- Congresses SCIENCE -- Physics -- Condensed Matter.
