[AISWorld] WI-IAT’13 Call for Workshop Proposals

[Wenjun Zhou]

*CALL FOR WORKSHOP PROPOSALS*

*2013 IEEE/WIC/ACM*

*International Joint Conference on Web Intelligence and Intelligent Agent
Technology *

*(WI-IAT’13)*

*Atlanta, Georgia November 17-20, 2013*



The Program Committees of the 2013 IEEE/WIC/ACM International Joint
Conference on Web Intelligence and Intelligent Agent Technology (WI-IAT’13)
invite proposals for workshops. The workshops will be held within the
Conference, November 17, 2013 at Atlanta, Georgia. The main goal of the
WI-IAT’13 workshops is to stimulate and facilitate active exchange,
interaction and comparison of approaches, methods and ideas related to
specific topics, both theoretical and applied, in the general areas related
to Web Intelligence and Intelligent Agent Technology. The workshops will
provide an informal setting where participants will have the opportunity to
discuss specific technical topics in an atmosphere that fosters the active
exchange of ideas.

The workshop organizers will be responsible for advertising the workshop,
forming the program committees, reviewing and selecting the papers, and
guaranteeing a high quality worthy of the prestige and range of the
Conference. All papers accepted for workshops will be included in the
Workshop Proceedings published by IEEE Computer Society Press and will be
available at the workshops.

The workshop organizers will also have the discretion of editing selected
papers (after their expansion and revision) into books or special journal
issues. Workshops may be full-day or half-day. A full-day workshop should
select 10-14 regular papers, while a half-day workshop should select 5-7
regular papers, from a large number of submissions. Submissions accepted as
workshop papers will be allocated 4 pages in the proceedings. The workshop
organizers should ensure the presence of authors of accepted papers at the
workshops. Optionally, the workshop may be started or concluded by a panel
focusing on interesting aspects, controversial issues, or unsolved problems
to stimulate lively, thoughtful, and thought-provoking debate; we expect
the workshop organizers to actively engage the audience and help them gain
a deeper understanding of the issues. The goal of a panel is to debate and
thus panels should always reflect more than one point of view.

*WORKSHOP PROPOSAL SUBMISSIONS*

Workshop organizers should submit their proposals (in single pdf file)
directly to the two Workshop Chairs via e-mail (see their email addresses
below).

*Workshop proposals should include the following elements:*

   - Title of the workshop
   - Names of workshop organizers, affiliation, mailing address and e-mail
   address
   - Short CV of organizers
   - A description of the topics of the workshop (not exceeding 200 words)
   - Type of the workshop (full-day or half-day)
   - A description of how the workshop will contribute to the field of Web
   Intelligence and/or Intelligent Agent Technology
   - A short description on how the workshop will be advertised so as to
   ensure a sufficiently wide range of authors and high quality papers
   - Information about previous offerings of the proposed workshop.



*TOPICS OF INTEREST*

Each workshop subject will focus on new research challenges and initiatives
in Web Intelligence (WI) and Intelligent Agent Technology (IAT). The
workshops should provide an informal and vibrant forum for researchers and
industry practitioners to share their research results and practical
development experiences in these two fields. Suggested, workshop topics
include, but are not limited to:

   - Intelligent e-Technology (including e-Science, e-Business, e-Things
   and e-Activities, e-Learning, e-Finance, e-Medicine, e-Government,
   e-Community)
   - Intelligent Human-Web Interaction
   - Intelligent Distributed Robots
   - Distributed Intelligence
   - Knowledge Grids and Grid Intelligence
   - Semantics and Ontology Engineering
   - Sensing Web and Smart World
