Cooperation among systems has become increasingly significant, with applications in electronic commerce, virtual enterprises, and middleware. CoopIS is a multi-disciplinary conference addressing various aspects of cooperation, including collaborative work, distributed databases, electronic commerce, human-computer interaction, multi-agent systems, information retrieval, and workflow systems. This conference series serves as a platform for esteemed researchers, influencing the future of cooperative information systems. The seventh conference, organized by the International Foundation on Cooperative Information Systems (IFCIS), is sponsored by IFCIS, IBM Research Laboratory in Haifa, and Compaq, Tandem labs Israel. It succeeds previous international workshops on Interoperability in Multidatabase systems and the CoopIS & ICICIS conference series. A total of 74 papers were submitted in response to the call for papers, with 24 accepted for presentation after thorough review by at least three reviewers each. Additionally, six papers were chosen for short presentations. The conference features two panels, keynote addresses from Professor Calton Pu of Georgia Tech and Professor Sheizaf Rafaeli of Haifa University, and one tutorial. A special issue of the International Journal of Cooperative Information Systems will be published following the event. August 2000 Opher Etzion & Peter Scheuermann
