The Web Intelligence (WI) journal celebrates its 20th anniversary (2022) and

the Web Intelligence and Intelligence Agent Technology (WI-IAT) conference celebrates its 20th anniversary as well (2021).

We will recognize the anniversary year of Web Intelligence journal with a special issue aimed at an in-depth review of our research field and a visionary exploration of its future prospects.

WI is a dynamic field with flourishment over the past 20 years. WI has always been closely entwined with, and contributed to, all the latest developments in AI, especially for the future of the highly connected world, which makes use of the power of human ingenuity and man-made networks to create a better world. We continually promote the key theme: *WI = AI in the Connected World*, the fieldofexploringhowadvancedintelligenceimpactstheWebofPeople,WebofTrust,WebofThings, Web of Data, Web of Agents, and emerging Web in health and smart living in the 5GEra.

While WI further evolves, many new ideas, methodologies, and techniques will continue to emerge with the contributions of all the researchers in the field.

We therefore launch an open call for:

A)In-depth state-of-the-art papers focusing on current progress and challenges on AI in the connectedworld;

B)Broad survey papers focusing on important applications of WI, aimed at assessing the effectiveness of WI-based techniques and/ormethodologies;

C)Visionary papers addressing the future of WI-based systems and the impact of WI on technology andsociety;

D)Short position papers on matters in general interest of the broad WIcommunity.
