<p style="text-align:justify;text-justify:inter-ideograph">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.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;text-justify:inter-ideograph">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.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;text-justify:inter-ideograph">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. </p>
