CALL FOR PAPERS
WIMS’14
4th International
Conference on Web Intelligence, Mining and Semantics
Thessaloniki,
Greece, 2-4 June 2014
About
WIMS’14 Conference
--------------------------
WIMS is a series
of peer-reviewed International Computer Science conferences.
It is a forum for researchers and practitioners to present
their state-of-the-art results in building Intelligent Web, to
examine performance characteristics of various approaches in
Web-based intelligent information technology, and to
cross-fertilize their ideas on the development of Web-based
intelligent information management solutions across different
domains.
Objectives
----------
The
purpose of the WIMS series is:
- To
provide a forum for established researchers and practitioners
to present their contributions to the state
of the art research and
development in Web technology and applications
- To
give doctoral students an opportunity to present their
research to a friendly and knowledgeable
audience and receive
valuable feedback
- To
provide an informal social event where Web technology
researchers and practitioners can meet
WIMS
traditionally hosts a small number of short tutorials on the
topics related to the scope of the conference series. The role
of a WIMS tutorial is to be a theme-oriented comprehensive
survey. WIMS also offers its infrastructure and facilities for
the organizers of satellite workshops that complement the
scope of the conference. The calls for WIMS’14 Tutorials and
Workshops are published separately.
Conference
