THE 2009 IEEE/WIC/ACM INTERNATIONAL JOINT CONFERENCES ON WEB INTELLIGENCE (WI 2009) INTELLIGENT AGENT TECHNOLOGY (IAT 2009)

September 15th – 18th 2009 University of Milano Bicocca, Milano Italy http://www.wi-iat09.disco.unimib.it

HIGHLIGHTS WI-IAT 2009 will be held in Milano, Italy’s business city, one of the most famous places in the world for fashion, design and history. It will be hosted by the University of Milano Bicocca, Italy. In addition to presentations of regular research papers, workshops, tutorials, industry track, a PhD mentory program, and a demo track will be organized.

WI 2009 will provide a leading international forum aiming at exploring the fundamental interactions between AI-engineering and Advanced Information Technology (AIT) on the next generation of Web systems and services. Here 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, representation, planning, and data mining and discovery are examples. WI research seeks to explore the most critical technology and engineering to bring in the next generation Web systems.

IAT 2009 will provide a leading international forum to bring together researchers and practitioners from diverse fields, such as computer science, information technology, business, education, human factors, systems engineering, and robotics, to examine the design principles and performance characteristics of various approaches in intelligent agent technology, and to increase the cross fertilization of ideas on the development of autonomous agents and multi-agent systems among different domains.

The joint organization of IAT 2009 and WI 2009 will provide an opportunity for technical collaboration beyond the two distinct research communities.

TOPICS WI topics include: - World Wide Wisdom Web (W4) - Web Information Retrieval and Filtering - Social Networks and Social Intelligence - Web Services - Intelligent Human-Web Interaction - Web Support Systems - Intelligent E-Technology (E-Business, E-Commerce)

IAT topics include: - Autonomy-Oriented Computing (AOC) - Agent Systems Modeling and Methodology - Peer-to-Peer Models for Multi-Agent Systems - Social Simulation - Virtual Human - XML-Based Agents Systems
