The 2011 IEEE / WIC / ACM International Conferences on WEB INTELLIGENCE and INTELLIGENT AGENT TECHNOLOGY 22 - 27 August 2011 Campus Scientifique de la Doua, Lyon, France

-------------------- WI-IAT Summer School 26-27 August 2011 --------------------

CALL FOR TUTORIALS ----------------------------------- The summer school of the 2011 IEEE/WIC/ACM International Joint Conference on Web Intelligence (WI 2011) and Intelligent Agent Technology (IAT 2011) will take place on August 26-27 2011 in Lyon (France). This summer school aims providing tutorials both on Web Intelligence (in the context of WI 2011) and Intelligent Agent Technology (in the context of IAT 2011). It intends to bring together PhD students, lecturers, as well as researchers and practitioners who are interested in the fundamental roles, interactions as well as practical impacts of Artificial Intelligence engineering and Advanced Information Technology on the next generation of Web systems. In these tutorials AI-engineering is a general term that refers to a new area, slightly beyond traditional AI: brain informatics, human level AI, intelligent agents, social network intelligence and classical areas, such as knowledge engineering, knowledge representation, planning, knowledge discovery and data mining are examples. Advanced Information Technology includes wireless networks, ubiquitous devices, social networks, data/knowledge grids, as well as service oriented architecture, cloud computing. The main goal of the su! mmer school is therefore to give an in-depth background on subjects that are of broad interest to Web Intelligence and Intelligent Agent Technology communities and provide participants the opportunity to be up to date with current research trends in these areas.
