Quick adoption of mashup and lightweight composition technologies is one
of landmarks of contemporary World Wide Web evolution. The MEM 2009
workshop will adopt a multi-aspect perspective on these technologies to
enable a complex understanding of their adoption, research and business
challenges and prospects. Firstly, it will cover basic infrastructures and
standards enabling scalable, secure and flexible deployment and enactment
of mashup and lightweight composition technologies. Secondly, it will
focus on user interfaces and interaction paradigms that make different
approaches to user-driven content and functionalities composition
available to non-expert users and collaborating crowds. Thirdly, it will
take a look into remarkable cases of mashups that combine existing
services and information sources with intelligent information processing
algorithms and user collaboration to provide value-added services.
Finally, the workshop will cover topics related to business aspects of
mashup and lightweight composition technologies.

The major part of innovation related to mashups and lightweight
composition is now happening in on line Web sites intended for wide
audience from all over the world. However, these technologies have
prospects of becoming major evolution factor for contemporary enterprises
by bridging the gap between business and IT. Thus, the workshop will focus
both on usage of mashup solutions in open Internet environments underlining
the requirement for flexibility, performance and privacy preservation, and
in business intranet environments stressing the need for security and
control measures to be incorporated in mashup and composition solutions.

The goal of this workshop is to provide a platform for discussing research
topics underlying the concepts of lightweight composition, mashups, and
enterprise mashups. By bringing together representatives of academia and
industry, the workshop is also an important venue for identifying new
research problems and disseminating results of the research. By
affiliating with a renowned international conference, the workshop
provides a possibility to interact with researchers from other areas of
the domain of Information Systems.
