Focus of the Special Issue
--------------------------
In the past years, a wide range of data mining techniques has been
developed to explore the manifold information found in the World
Wide Web. One of the important characteristics of the Web in
addition to large data volumes is its dynamics, where content,
structure and usage are changing over time.

Currently one can observe a movement in the web towards more
interactive and user-centric applications within in the WWW. This
shows up in the rise of related research areas such as knowledge
management, web communities, social networks and the mobile web.
These areas raise new research issues for the web mining community.
The aim of this special issue is to discuss recent results both from
a theoretical and from an applied point of view.


Topics of interest
------------------
Topics of interest for this special issue include, but are not
limited to:

* analysis of weblogs and blogs
* discovering social structures and communities
* predicting trends and user behavior
* analysis of dynamic networks
* using content of the web for modelling
* discovering misuse and fraud
* network analysis of social resource sharing systems
* analysis of folksonomies or web 2.0 applications
* deriving profiles from usage
* personalized delivery of news and journals
* semantic web personalization
* semantic web technologies for recommender systems
* ubiquitous data mining
* applications

With regard to the focus of the journal, the relatedness of your
submission to Artificial Intelligence will be an important
evaluation criterion.
