Due to the sophistication\, business and IT have separated in many organizations. That separation has left a gap between the two and has led to high frequencies of IT project escalation and failure. While the gap between business and IT does not pose a difficulty for highly structured business problems and processes that are stable in time\, it is a major obstacle for all other problems and processes. Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) along with Web 2.0 technologies and paradigms\, such as mashups and lightweight composition\, are believed to provide a handle to overcome this situation and enable a potential candidate for a solution that will be essential in bridging the gap between business and IT. The new technologies leveraging SOA and Web 2.0 technologies\, such as mashups\, enterprise mashups\, and lightweight composition\, provide business users with ability to compose and/or use simple applications that follow their requirements\, and not require programming skills\, or even understanding of the concept of SOA\, while providing the requested functionalities. 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. The workshop organizers invite contributions falling into broad categories of theoretical considerations\, practical solution demonstrations\, and lessons learned from real life implementations of mashups\, enterprise mashups\, and lightweight composition systems. TOPICS The topics of the workshop include\, but are not limited to the following: * Governance of mashup technologies * Lightweight information integration * Mashups and legacy applications * Mashups in process aware information systems * Security of widgets\, gadgets\, and related technologies * Security of enterprise information in mashups * Standards and protocols for lightweight composition * Technical requirements of mashups * User interface aspects of lightweight composition * Value of mashups for enterprises SUBMISSION The proceedings of MEM&LCW 2008 will be published as part of WISE 2008 workshop proceedings - a volume by Springer in Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) series. Papers must be submitted in PDF format according to Springer LNCS template available from [1]. Submitted papers need to have up to ten LNCS pages. Submission system is available on-line at [2].
