Call For Workshop Proposals

for IEEE/WIC/ACM International Conference on Web Intelligence(WI'14) http://wic2014.mimuw.edu.pl/wi/homepage

************************************************************************ The Program Committees of the 2014 Web Intelligence Congress invite proposals for workshops in all areas related to Web Intelligence, its foundations and applications. WIC 2014 is a Special Event of Web25 celebrating 25 years of the Web. IEEE/WIC/ACM Web Intelligence 2014 (WI'14) will be collocated with three other top -quality international conferences.

- IEEE/WIC/ACM Intelligent Agent Technology 2014 (IAT'14) - Active Media Technology 2014 (AMT'14) - Brain Informatics & Heath 2014 (BIH'14)

The conferences are co-located in order to bring together researchers and practitioners from diverse fields with the purpose of exploring the fundamental roles, interactions and practical impacts of Artificial Intelligence and Advanced Information Technology. The workshops will be held within the Conference at the historical Central Campus of the University of Warsaw, Warsaw, Poland, between 11th and 14th of August 2014.

The main objectives of the WI-2014 workshops is to stimulate and facilitate active exchange, interaction and comparison of approaches, methods and ideas related to diverse areas of Web Intelligence. Each workshop subject will focus on new and emerging research challenges related to the themes of the conference. The workshops should provide an informal and vibrant forum for researchers and industry practitioners to share their research results and practical development experiences in the field. The aim of the workshops should be to provide the participants with an opportunity to discuss specific technical topics in an atmosphere that fosters active exchange of ideas. Workshops can typically focus on topics aligned to or specified in general call for contributions but may not be restricted to those. All areas focusing on theoretical and applied aspects of Web Intelligence are welcome.

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. Submissions accepted as workshop papers will be allocated 4 pages in the IEEE WI-IAT 2014 workshop proceedings to be published by IEEE-CS Press.

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.
