Invitation

The organizing committee of the Eighth International Workshop on Web Content Caching and Distribution (WCW) cordially invites you to participate in our annual workshop, held September 29-October 1 2003, at IBM's T.J. Watson Research Center in Hawthorne, NY, USA.

Since our first meeting in 1996, this workshop has served as the premiere forum for researchers and industry technologists to exchange research results and perspectives on future directions in Internet content caching and content delivery. The first four Web Caching Workshops (WCW) focused on Web cache software and caching networks for static Web content. The scope broadened to encompass content distribution and eventually all areas relating to the intersection of storage and networking for Internet content services, including such areas as storage for grid computing and peer-to-peer storage services.

The workshop will comprise a two and a half day technical program, including refereed long and short paper presentations and panel sessions. We hope you can join us.
