We are facing an immense growth of digital data and information resources, both in terms of size, complexity, modalities and intrusiveness. Almost every aspect of our existence is being digitally captured. This is exemplified by the omnipresent existence of all kinds of data storage, far beyond those stored in traditional relational databases. The spectrum of data being digitally stored runs from multimedia data repositories to your purchases in most stores. Every tweet that you broadcast is captured for posterity. Needless to say this situation posses new research opportunities, challenges and problems in the ways we store, manipulate, search, and - in general - make use of such data and information. Attempts to cope with these problems have been emerging all over the world with thousands of people devoted to developing tools and techniques to deal with this new area of research. One of the prominent scholars and researchers in this field was the late Professor Ashley Morris who died suddenly and tragically at a young age. Ashley's career begun in industry, where he specialized in databases.

This book represents the combined peer-reviewed proceedings of the Fourth International Symposium on Intelligent Distributed Computing -- IDC 2010 and of the Second International Workshop on Multi-Agent Systems Technology and Semantics -- MASTS'2010. Both events were held in Tangier, Morocco during September 16-18, 2010.
The 33 contributions published in this book address many topics related to theory and applications of intelligent distributed computing and multi-agent systems, including: agent-based e-business, ambient intelligence, bio-informatics, collaborative systems, cryptography and security, distributed algorithms, distributed data mining, distributed simulation, grid computing, image processing, information extraction, knowledge management, logic programming, mobile agents, ontologies, pervasive computing, Petri nets, process modeling, self-organizing systems, semantic web services, service oriented computing, social networks and trust, swarm intelligence, web applications, wireless sensor networks.
