                      Call for Papers

First International Workshop on Teaching Web Intelligence

In conjunction with the 2005 IEEE/WIC/ACM International Conference on
Web Intelligence (WI) & Intelligent Agent Technology (IAT)

September 19, 2005, Compiegne University of Technology, France

http://eurise.univ-st-etienne.fr/TWI05/

Web Intelligence is a recent research direction that spans a wide
variety of scientific domains ranging from Artificial Intelligence to
Advanced Information Technology. The diversity of the research domains
that are involved is an advantage to tackle difficult problems and to
build complex intelligent systems. But this diversity also implies that
researchers and developers are kept abreast of various technologies in
order to be Web Intelligence experts.

This raises the question of the educating of students who would become
Web Intelligence experts. The question can be addressed from multiple
aspects. For example, the composition of an academic program dedicated
to Web Intelligence, or the methods that should be investigated to teach
the specific features of Web Intelligence technologies (if any).

The aim of the workshop is to pionneer questions about education issues
about Web Intelligence. The topics are focused on but not limited to the
following:

- Experiences in teaching specific technologies related to Web Intelligence

- Contributions of courses in Web Intelligence to other fields
(economics, medecine, ...)

- Content of a possible academic program for Web Intelligence students:
Which technologies should be taught ? At which level: Undergraduate ?
Graduate ? ... What is the mandatory or recommended content for such a
program ?

- Expectations of industry and research labs about the skills and
knowledges of postgraduate students in Web Intelligence

Contributions about other issues related to the problem of teaching Web
Intelligence are also encouraged.
