##################################################################### IEEE/WIC/ACM WEB INTELLIGENCE 2009 CALL FOR PAPERS #####################################################################
2009 IEEE/WIC/ACM International Conference on Web Intelligence (WI-09)
September 15-18, 2009, University of Milano - Bicocca, Milano, Italy
http://www.wi-iat09.disco.unimib.it
Sponsored By IEEE Computer Society Web Intelligence Consortium (WIC) Association for Computing Machinery (ACM)
################################################################## # (Papers Due: *** 10 April 2009 *** # Accepted papers will be published in the conference proceedings # by the IEEE Computer Society Press, which are indexed by EI. ##################################################################
WI 2009 will provide a leading international forum of scientific research and development to explore the fundamental interactions between AI-engineering and Advanced Information Technology (e.g., wireless networks, ubiquitous devices, social networks, and data/knowledge grids), and their role on the next generation of Web-empowered products, Web systems and services. AI-engineering refers to a new area, slightly beyond tradional AI, which encompasses: brain informatics, human level AI, intelligent agents, social network intelligence, knowledge engineering, representation, planning, data mining and discovery.
WI 2009 will be jointly held with the 2009 IEEE/WIC/ACM International Conference on Intelligent Agent Technology (IAT-09). The two conferences will have a joint opening, keynote, reception, and banquet. Attendees only need to register for one conference and can attend workshops, sessions, tutorials, panels, exhibits and demonstrations across the two conferences. We are also planning a joint panel, joint paper sessions, and a doctoral mentoring program to discuss common problems in the two areas.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ On-Line Submissions and Publication ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
High-quality papers in all WI related areas are solicited. Paper submissions should be limited to a maximum of 8 pages in the IEEE 2-column format, the same as the camera-ready format (see the Author Guidelines of last year at http://www.ieeeconfpublishing.org/cpir/AuthorKit.asp?Community=CPS&Facil...). All submitted papers will be reviewed by the Program Committee on the basis of technical quality, relevance, significance, and clarity.
Note that WI'09 will accept ONLY on-line submissions, containing PDF versions. Please use the Submission Form on the WI'09 website to submit your paper. Accepted papers will be published in the conference proceedings by the IEEE Computer Society Press that are indexed by EI.
Submissions accepted as regular papers will be allocated 8 pages in the proceedings and accorded oral presentation in the main conference. Submissions accepted as short papers will be allocated 4 pages in the proceedings and will have a shorter presentation time at the conference than regular papers.
All co-authors will be notified for the submission, notification, and confirmation on the attendance. Submitting a paper to the conference and workshops means that, if the paper is accepted, at least one author should attend the conference to present the paper. The acceptance list and no-show list will be openly published on-line. For no-show authors, their affiliations will receive a notification.
A selected number of WI'09 accepted papers will be expanded and revised for inclusion in Web Intelligence and Agent Systems: An International Journal (http://wi-consortium.org/journal.html) and in Annual Review of Intelligent Informatics (http://www.wi-consortium.org/annual.html).
The best paper awards will be conferred at the conference on the authors of (1) the best research paper and (2) the best application paper. Application-oriented submissions will be considered for the best application paper award.
More detailed instructions and the On-Line Submission Form will be found on the WI'09 homepage: http://www.wi-iat09.disco.unimib.it/WI09/WIhome.htm
++++++++++ Workshops ++++++++++
As an important part of the conference, the workshop program will focus on new research challenges and initiatives. All papers accepted for workshops will be included in the Workshop Proceedings published by the IEEE Computer Society Press that are indexed by EI, and will be available at the workshops. Detailed information is available at the conference homepage.
Note: we will not have a separate workshop registration fee (i.e., conference registration covers everything).
++++++++++ Tutorials ++++++++++
WI'09 also welcomes Tutorial proposals. WI'09 will include tutorials providing in-depth background on subjects that are of broad interest to the Web intelligence community. Both short (2 hours) and long (half day) tutorials will be considered. The tutorials will be part of the main conference technical program. Detailed information is available at the conference homepage.
Note: we will not have a separate tutorials registration fee (i.e., only one conference registration covers everything).
++++++++++++++++++++ Industry/Demo-Track ++++++++++++++++++++
We solicit Industry/Demo-Track papers by the following methods.
(1) Industry papers of 4 pages can be submitted on the same schedule as the research track. (2) Separate 2 page demo proposals can submitted at a later schedule. (3) Full regular paper submissions can include a demo option. That is, a full paper submissions will be asked to specify if they would like to give a demonstration; choice of demonstrations (while utilizing information from the regular reviewing process) will be selected based on value as a demonstration.
For options (1) and (2), more detailed instructions will be found at the homepage: http://www.wi-iat09.disco.unimib.it/WI09/WIhome.htm
