CALL FOR RESEARCH / APPLICATION & CASE STUDY PAPERS / POSTERS
CALL FOR WORKSHOPS / TUTORIALS / DEMONSTRATIONS
WIMS’14
4th International Conference on Web Intelligence, Mining and Semantics
Thessaloniki, Greece, 2-4 June 2014

About WIMS’14 Conference
--------------------------
WIMS is a series of peer-reviewed International Computer Science
conferences. It is a forum for researchers and practitioners to present
their state-of-the-art results in building Intelligent Web, to examine
performance characteristics of various approaches in Web-based
intelligent information technology, and to cross-fertilize their ideas
on the development of Web-based intelligent information management
solutions across different domains.
Objectives
--------------
The purpose of the WIMS series is:
- To provide a forum for established researchers and practitioners to
present their contributions to the state
of the art research and development in Web technology and applications
- To give doctoral students an opportunity to present their research to
a friendly and knowledgeable
audience and receive valuable feedback
- To provide an informal social event where Web technology researchers
and practitioners can meet
Call for Research Papers/Posters
--------------------------------------------
WIMS’14 is intended to foster the dissemination of state-of-the-art
research in the area of Web intelligence, Web mining, Web semantics and
the fundamental interaction between them. Authors are invited to submit
regular (12 pages) or short (6 pages) research papers or posters (4
pages) on all related areas. Papers exploring new directions or areas
will receive a thorough and encouraging review.
More details on the nature of the different submission types can be
found at:
http://wims14.csd.auth.gr/?page_id=23
The papers in all the categories should describe original results that
have not been accepted or submitted for publication elsewhere. All
submissions will be evaluated by at least three members of the
international program committee.
Submissions should be made electronically in PDF or DOC/DOCX (MS/Open
Word) format via the electronic submission system of the WIMS’14
Conference Management system at
https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=wims14
The submissions should be typeset using the templates of the ACM
International Conference Proceedings Series (ICPS). The templates could
be retrieved from http://www.acm.org/sigs/publications/proceedings-templates
Call for Application and Case Study Track Papers
----------------------------------------------------------------
The goal of this track is to provide opportunities for researchers,
innovators, industry leaders, and practitioners to present and exchange
ideas, results, and experiences in the applications of Web Intelligence,
Mining, and Semantics (WIMS). The Application & Case Studies Track
invites submissions describing implementations of Web Intelligence,
Mining, and Semantics in industrial or government or other ‘real world’
settings. Papers must include descriptions of how the applications have
been conceived, developed, and (probably) deployed.
Details about the submission types and the submission procedure of this
track can be found at:
http://wims14.csd.auth.gr/?page_id=154
Call for Tutorials/Demonstration Proposals
----------------------------------------------------------
WIMS’14 also welcomes Tutorial and/or Demonstration proposals. WIMS’14
will include tutorials and/or demonstrations (on new applications)
providing in-depth background on subjects that are of broad interest to
the Web Mining and Web Semantics community. The tutorials will be part
of the main conference technical program. Proposal papers must be no
less than 5 pages and no more than 12 pages, and must provide a sense of
both the scope of the tutorial and depth within the scope.
Details about the submissions of the tutorial/demonstration proposals
can be found at:
http://wims14.csd.auth.gr/?page_id=148
Call for Workshop Proposals
--------------------------------------
WIMS’14 invites proposals for workshops to be held in conjunction with
the conference. Organizers may structure workshops as they see fit,
possibly including invited talks, panel discussions, presentations of
work in progress, peer-reviewed papers, or some combination. A workshop
could be scheduled for a half a day or a full day, depending on
potential interest and organizers preference.
The organizers of successful workshops will be responsible for their own
reviewing process, website, and to co-ordinate the collection and
delivery of camera ready material and ACM copyright transfer. Accepted
papers in workshops will be published in the WIMS’14 proceedings and
disseminated through the ACM Digital Library. Selected extended papers
will be invited to appear in a special issue of a reputed journal in the
field.
Details about the submissions of the workshop proposals can be found at:
http://wims14.csd.auth.gr/?page_id=150
Conference Scope
------------------------
WIMS solicits regular and work-in-progress research, discussion papers
and industry experience report papers in related fields. Papers
exploring new directions or areas are also welcome. In particular but
not exclusively the submissions within the following major areas are
relevant:
- Scalable Web and Data Architectures and Infrastructures
- Web Intelligence
- Web Mining, Information and Knowledge Extraction
- Web Semantics and Reasoning
- WIMS Applications
- Evaluation and Validation of WIMS Technologies and Applications
More details about the conference scope and topics can be found at:
http://wims14.csd.auth.gr/?page_id=146
Publications
------------
Accepted papers/tutorials/posters will be published by ACM and
disseminated through the ACM Digital Library through the International
Conference Proceedings Series (ICPS). A selection of the best WIMS'14
papers will be invited to be revised and extended for the
post-conference publication in the Special Issue of the International
Journal on Artificial Intelligence Tools (IJAIT).
