The International organization on Information Integration and Web based applications & Services (@WAS) was founded in 2003 given the success of the iiWAS series of workshops (1999, 2000) and conferences (2001-on) and the prospect of continuing the organization of these events in the forthcoming years which have encouraged some to propose the creation of a non-profit International Organization for Information Integration and Web-based Applications & Services (@WAS).
In 2003, @WAS launched another series of conferences called International Conferences on Advances in Mobile Computing and Multimedia (MoMM) held in Jakarta in conjunction with iiWAS2003 conference and was officially opened by the Minister of Communication and information Technology of the Republic Indonesia at that time. MoMM aims to provide a discussion forum for the exchange of ideas and information by researchers, students, and professionals on the issues and challenges brought by the emerging wireless technologies for mobile and multimedia applications and services
@WAS had endorsed many conferences among which the International Conference on Telematics Systems, Services and Applications (TSSA), the International Conference on Wireless Systems, Services and Applications (WSSA) organized by Bandung Institute of Technology which were held in Bandung, Indonesia in 2006 and 2007 and EATIS Conference (Euro American Conference on Telematics and Information Systems), which took place in Santa Martha, Columbia in 2006 and in Portugal in 2007. The aim of the latter was to actively promote academic collaboration between European and American universities.
In 2006, iiWAS/MoMM have expanded to run five in-conjunction workshops, SIIK2006 (Semantic Information Integration on Knowledge Discovery), MoMIR2006 (Mobile Multimedia Information Retrieval), BWCCA2006 (Broadband and Wireless Computing, Communication and Applications), SoC2006 (Systems-On-Chips), and TwUC2006 (Trustworthy Ubiquitous Computing), Emerging Research and Projects Applications Symposium, and a master and doctoral colloquium.
In 2007, iiWAS/MoMM have three in-conjunction workshops, MoMIR-2007 (Mobile Multimedia Information Retrieval), BWCCA-2007 (Broadband and Wireless Computing, Communication and Applications), and TwUC2007 (Trustworthy Ubiquitous Computing), Emerging Research and Projects Applications Symposium (ERPAS-2007), and a master and doctoral colloquium. These workshops are dedicated to foster emerging work and applications as well as the work of young researchers. They aim at giving their participants an interactive forum of presentation and discussion.
