Following the great success of previous WI
and IAT conferences, WI'04 and IAT'04 will provide a leading
international forum for researchers and practitioners (1) to
present the state-of-the-art WI and agent technologies, (2)
to cross-fertilize ideas on the development of
Web-based intelligent information systems as well as new
models, new methodologies, and new tools for building a
variety of embodiments of agent-based systems. |
