WIMS’14
4th International Conference on Web Intelligence, Mining and Semantics
Thessaloniki, Greece, 2-4 June 2014
http://wims14.csd.auth.gr
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).
