  Intelligent Web Interaction Workshop 2006

  Affiliated with Web Intelligence 2006 (WI'06)
  18th December 2006, Hong Kong

  Web site:  http://ymd.ex.nii.ac.jp/ws/iwi/06/

=======================================================


Various Web systems/services are currently providing a great deal of
benefits for users, and Web interaction is becoming especially
important both for research and business. Web interaction has been
realized through related technologies including interactive
information retrieval, intelligent systems, personalization, user
interfaces and so on. However, each study and development has been
done independently in different fields, which might discourage us from
studying Web interaction from unified view of human-system interaction
and making Web interaction more intelligent by applying machine
learning and soft computing. Hence, at this time, we will hold
Intelligent Web Interaction workshop affiliated with Web
Intelligence 2006 (http://www.comp.hkbu.edu.hk/iwi06/wi/), to gather a
variety of researchers in diverse fields like Web systems, AI,
computational intelligence, human-computer interaction and user
interfaces.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

  - Web interaction
  - Application of artificial intelligence, soft computing to Web
    interaction
  - Interactive information search/retrieval and interactive query
    expansion
  - Personalization, user profiling
  - Visualization, user interfaces
  - Accessibility/usability
  - Web adaptation
  - Interactive authoring/annotation for semantic Web
  - Social network, Web communities

We are preparing a special issue on "Intelligent Web Interaction"
(tentative) of International Journal of New Generation Computing
(http://www.ohmsha.co.jp/ngc/) next year. We will select high quality
papers from our workshop proceedings to be revised and published in the
special issue.
