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 *the* 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.

This year WIMS is putting additional focus on applications and case
studies, and has arranged for 2 excellent keynote speakers in this area:

- “Semantic Technology for online, broadcast and print media”: Jem
Rayfield, Head Architect, Financial Times.
- “Big Data – from Hype to Reality”: Richard Benjamins, Director of
Business Intelligence, Telefonica.

To complement these keynote presentations, WIMS welcomes submissions to the
Application & Case Study track as detailed below.

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, 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:
