This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 5th Annual International Conference on Object-Oriented and Internet-Based Technologies, Concepts and Applications for a Networked World, Net. Object Days 2004, held in Erfurt, Germany, in September 2004.

The 15 revised full papers presented together with an invited paper were carefully reviewed and selected from inclusion in the book. The papers are organised in topical sections on languages and models, agents and the semantic Web, supporting software processes, software product lines, and case studies and visions.

Based on the Net.ObjectDays tradition of bringing together researchers from academia and industry on the one hand and system architects, developers, and users fromindustry andadministrationon the other hand, this year'sconference took an international research perspective, so that we see the ?rst volume of Net.ObjectDays main conference proceedings published in the Springer Lecture Notes in Computer Science series. This volume consists of 16 papers carefully selected in a rigorous reviewing process by an international program committee; to provide a concise overview, these papers are brie?y described. In the Languages and Models session, Beate Ritterbach proposes a new l- guage element for object-oriented programming languages that supports ar- trary value types. In her contribution Support for Value Types in an Object- OrientedProgramming Language shedescribesthecorrespondingkeywords,s- tax, and consistency checks, thereby giving an impression of the look and feel of value types from an application programmer's perspective. Walter Binder and Jarle Hulaas look at portable CPU accounting and control in Java, which is based on program transformation techniques. In their paper Self-accounting as Principle for Portable CPU Control in Java periodically the threads of an application component aggregate the information of their respective CPU c- sumption within a shared account; scheduling functions make sure applications do not exceed their allowed CPU share.
