============================================================== Call for Workshop Proposals
2009 IEEE/WIC/ACM International Joint Conference on Web Intelligence and Intelligent Agent Technology (WI-IAT'09)
Milano, Italy, September 15-18, 2009. http://www.wi-iat09.disco.unimib.it/WI09/WIhome.htm http://www.wi-iat09.disco.unimib.it/IAT09/IAThome.htm
******************************************************************* Workshop Proposals Due: ** January 31 **, 2009 - DEADLINE EXTENDED
All papers accepted for workshops will be included in the Workshop Proceedings published by the IEEE Computer Society Press, which are indexed by EI. ===================================================================
The Program Committees of the 2009 IEEE/WIC/ACM International Joint Conference on Web Intelligence and Intelligent Agent Technology (WI- IAT'09) invite proposals for Workshops. The Workshops will be held within the Conference, September 15-18, 2009 at Milano, Italy.
The main goal of the WI-IAT'09 workshops is to stimulate and facilitate active exchange, interaction and comparison of approaches, methods and ideas related to specific topics, both theoretical and applied, in the general areas related to Web Intelligence and Intelligent Agent Technology. The workshops will provide an informal setting where participants will have the opportunity to discuss specific technical topics in an atmosphere that fosters the active exchange of ideas.
The workshop organizers will be responsible for advertising the workshop, forming the program committees, reviewing and selecting the papers, and guaranteeing a high quality worthy of the prestige and range of the Conference. All papers accepted for workshops will be included in the Workshop Proceedings, which are expected to be published by IEEE Computer Society Press and will be available at the workshops.
The workshop organizers will also have the discretion of editing selected papers (after their expansion and revision) into books or special journal issues. Workshops may be full-day or half-day. A full- day workshop should select 10-14 regular papers, while a half-day workshop should select 5-7 regular papers, from a large number of submissions. The workshop organizers should ensure the presence of authors of accepted papers at the workshops. Optionally, the workshop may be started or concluded by a panel focusing on interesting aspects, controversial issues, or unsolved problems to stimulate lively, thoughtful, and thought-provoking debate; we expect the workshop organizers to actively engage the audience and help them gain a deeper understanding of the issues. The goal of a panel is to debate and thus panels should always reflect more than one point of view.
*** Workshop Topics
Each workshop subject will focus on new research challenges and initiatives in Web Intelligence (WI) and Intelligent Agent Technology (IAT). The workshops should provide an informal and vibrant forum for researchers and industry practitioners to share their research results and practical development experiences in these two fields. Suggested workshop topics include, but are not limited to:
Web Intelligence, Brain Informatics and Bio Technology Intelligent E-Technology (including E-Science, E-Business, E-Learning, E-Finance, E-Government, E-Community) Intelligent Web Interaction Knowledge Grids and Grid Intelligence Semantics and Ontology Engineering Social Networks and Social Intelligence Web Agents Web Information Filtering and Retrieval Web Mining and Forming Web Monitoring and Change Web Personalization and Recommendations Web Security, Integrity, Privacy and Trust Web Services and Grid Services Web Support Systems World Wide Wisdom Web (W4) Intelligent Web Querying Log Mining Agent Systems Modeling and Methodology Autonomous Knowledge and Information Agents Autonomous Auctions and Negotiation Autonomy-Oriented Computing (AOC) Learning and Self-Adapting Agents Agents and Data Mining Interaction Multiagent Systems in E-business
*** Workshop Proposal Submission
Workshop proposals should include the following elements:
Title of the workshop The organizers name, affiliation, mailing address and e-mail address A description of the topic of the workshop (not exceeding 200 words) Type of the workshop (full-day or half-day) A description of how the workshop will contribute to the field of Web Intelligence and/or Intelligent Agent Technology A short description on how the workshop will be advertised so as to ensure a sufficiently wide range of authors and high quality papers Optionally, only for full-day workshops, the title of a proposed panel, with a brief description highlighting the reasons of interest of the issues to be debated
After the acceptance of a workshop proposal the organizer(s) should:
Create a Call for papers/participation for the workshop Create a Web page for the workshop, the link of which will be published on the Conference Web site Create a Board of Reviewers (Program Committee) Review and select papers Schedule the workshop activities.
Those papers selected by a workshop organizer will also be reviewed by the Workshop Co-Chairs for final acceptance.
All submitted papers will be reviewed on the basis of technical quality, relevance, significance, and clarity.
We will provide an online paper submission and review system to support the workshops.
