The 2021 IEEE/WIC/ACM International Joint Conference on Web Intelligence 
and
Intelligent Agent Technology (WI-IAT'21) provides a premier international
forum to bring together researchers and practitioners from diverse 
fields for
presentation of original research results, as well as exchange and
dissemination of innovative and practical development experiences on Web
intelligence and intelligent agent technology research and applications.
Academia, professionals and industry people can exchange their ideas, 
findings
and strategies in utilizing the power of human brains and man-made 
networks to
create a better world. More specifically, the fields of how intelligence is
impacting the Web of People, the Web of Data, the Web of Things, the Web of
Trust, the Web of Agents, and emerging Web in health and smart living in 
the
5G Era. Therefore, the theme of WI-IAT '21 will be

“Web Intelligence = AI in the Connected World”.

After the great successful online WI-IAT'20 during the global pandemic,
WI-IAT'21 will be held in Melbourne, Australia, celebrating its 20th 
anniversary,
as a hybrid conference with both online and offline modes.

WI-IAT '21 welcomes research, application as well as Industry/Demo track 
paper
submissions in these core thematic pillars under wider topics, which demand
WI innovative and disruptive solutions for any of the next indicative 
sub-topics.
