Web Intelligence (WI) has been recognized as a new
direction for scientific research and development to
explore the fundamental roles as well as practical
impacts of Artificial Intelligence (AI) (e.g.,
knowledge representation, planning, knowledge
discovery and data mining, intelligent agents, and
social network intelligence) and advanced Information
Technology (IT) (e.g., wireless networks, ubiquitous
devices, social networks, wisdom Web, and data/knowledge grids) on
the next generation of Web-empowered products,
systems, services, and activities. It is one of the
most important as well as promising IT research fields
in the era of Web and agent intelligence. |
|
The
2004 IEEE/WIC/ACM International
Conference on Web Intelligence (WI'04) will be jointly
held with the 2004 IEEE/WIC/ACM International
Conference on Intelligent Agent Technology (IAT'04
http://www.maebashi-it.org/IAT04). The
IEEE/WIC/ACM 2004 joint conferences are sponsored and
organized by
IEEE Computer Society Technical Committee
on Computational Intelligence (TCCI) (http://www.cs.uvm.edu/~xwu/tcci/index.shtml),
Web Intelligence Consortium (WIC) (http://wi-consortium.org/),
and
ACM-SIGART
(http://www.acm.org/sigart/). |

Following the great successes of
WI'01 held in Maebashi City, Japan and
WI'03 held in Halifax, Canada, WI 2004 provides a
leading international forum for researchers and
practitioners (1) to present the state-of-the-art of
WI technologies; (2) to examine performance
characteristics of various approaches in Web-based
intelligent information technology; and (3) to
cross-fertilize ideas on the development of Web-based
intelligent information systems among different
domains. By idea-sharing and discussions on the
underlying foundations and the enabling technologies
of Web intelligence, WI 2004 will capture current
important developments of new models, new
methodologies and new tools for building a variety of
embodiments of Web-based intelligent information
systems. |
