Introduction
------------
Over the last decade we have been witnessing an increasing use of 
Business Intelligence (BI) solutions, which allow business people to 
query, understand, and analyze their business data in order to make 
better decisions.  Traditionally, BI applications allowed business 
people to acquire useful knowledge from the data of their organization 
by means of a variety of technologies, such as data warehousing, data 
mining, business performance management, OLAP, periodical business 
reports, and the like.
Yet, in the very recent years, a new trend emerged: BI applications no 
longer limit their analysis to the data inside one company. 
Increasingly, they also source their data from the outside, i.e., from 
the Web, and complement company-internal data with value-adding 
information from the Web (e.g., retail prices of products sold by 
competitors), in order to provide richer insights into the dynamics of 
toda's business.
In parallel to the move of data from the Web into BI applications, we 
are now assisting to the move of BI applications from company-internal 
information systems to the Web: BI as a service (e.g., hosted BI 
platforms for small- and medium-size companies) is the target of huge 
investments and the focus of large research efforts by industry. The 
idea is that of outsourcing the processing and analysis of large bodies 
of data and consuming BI from the cloud.

The Second International Workshop on Business intelligenCE and the WEB 
(BEWEB) intends to be a forum for exchanging ideas on (i) how to 
leverage the huge amount of data that is available on the Web in BI 
applications, (ii) how to apply Web engineering methods and techniques 
to the design of BI applications, and (iii) how to use BI knowledge in 
the design of Web applications.


Topics of interest
-------------------
Papers focused on new domains and new experiences with the connection 
between BI and the Web are highly encouraged. The workshop will be a 
forum for researchers, designers, and users who are related to the 
combination of these main topics.

The scope of the workshop includes but is not limited to:

- Web warehousing
- Extraction, transformation, and load of Web data
- Web integration
- Web data quality
- Semantic Web technologies
- Web mining
- Web intelligence
- The role of Web 2.0/3.0 in BI
- BI with unstructured data (e.g., text) and semi-structured data (e.g., 
XML)
- BI for designing adaptive websites
- Web engineering techniques for BI applications (Web mashups, RIA, etc.)
- Real time BI
- Business performance management
- Usability and accessibility for BI applications
- Security issues in BI
- BI as a service
- Cloud intelligence: cloud computing & business intelligence


Submission Guidelines
---------------------
Paper submission will be electronic via the EasyChair system at 
http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=beweb2011. The length of 
submitted papers should not exceed 8 pages in ACM double-column format 
(see guidelines at 
http://www.acm.org/sigs/publications/proceedings-templates). Papers not 
conforming to these requirements may be rejected without further 
consideration.

The publication of BEWEB workshop papers will be handled together with 
publications of the main conference. A special issue in a JCR journal 
for the publication of extended versions of the best contributions to 
the workshop is under negotiation.
