The International Conference on Applications of Digital Information and Web Technologies was the 7th event of the series organized since 2008 with the aim of building infrastructure necessary for large-scale development of Web technologies that enable easy access to digital information in its every form regardless of the user's need. Over the years, the ICADIWT conference has created its own research community of participants from numerous countries who attend the event every time with the intention to demonstrate and discuss the essential details of their research findings.

The ICADIWT conference series is organized by the Digital Information Research Foundation, a publisher of academic journals in computer and information science with its headquarter in India and an office in London, UK. The 7th ICADIWT conference was held from March the 29th to 31st in the National Taiwan Ocean University, Keelung City, Taiwan. This year we invited two Keynote Speakers who presented on innovative techniques aimed at providing secure communication and on the Web Service Description Language. The two speeches reached a broad audience of researchers and delegates.
