[Apologies if you receive this more than once. Kindly disseminate the WIMS'11 conference in any lists you subscribe, and among your colleagues and students.] *International Conference on Web Intelligence, Mining and Semantics (WIMS'11<http://wims.vestforsk.no> )* 25 - 27 May 2011 Sogndal, Norway *About WIMS'11:* The International Conference on Web Intelligence, Mining and Semantics (WIMS'11) will be organised under the auspices of Western Norway Research Institute. This is the first in a new series of conferences concerned with intelligent approaches to transform the World Wide Web into a global reasoning and semantics-driven computing machine. Next conferences in this series, WIMS'12 and WIMS'13, will take place in Craiova (Romania) and Madrid (Spain) respectively. The conference will provide an excellent international forum for sharing knowledge and results in theory, methodology and applications of Web intelligence, Web mining and Web semantics. The program will feature several keynote and invited talks, from academia and the industry. The *purpose of the WIMS'11* is: - To provide a forum for established researchers and practitioners to present past and current research contributing to the state of the art of Web technology research 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. *Conference Venue:* The conference will be hosted by Vestlandsforsking (Western Norway Research Institute), Sogndal. This region, considered to be one of the most beautiful in Norway, has been a destination for tourists, discoverers, and artists from around the world for more than 150 years. Once again in 2009, the Norwegian fjords have been rated as the World’s most celebrated and iconic travel destination by National Geographic Traveller. The region’s scenery is powerful and varied, ranging from flat fjord-side districts to steep mountainsides, beautiful fjord arms, torrential waterfalls, blue glaciers and lush valleys. *Call for Papers/Tutorials/Posters:* Authors are invited to submit full papers, tutorial proposals, posters on all related areas. Papers exploring new directions or areas will receive a thorough and encouraging review. Areas of interest include, but not limited to: *Topics & Scope: *Areas of interest include, but not limited to: Semantics-driven information retrieval Semantic agent systems Semantic data search Interaction paradigms for semantic search Evaluation of semantic search User interfaces Web mining Ubiquitous computing Semantic deep Web and intelligent e-Technology Representation techniques for Web-based knowledge Quality of Life Technology for Web Document Access Rule markup languages and systems Semantic 3D media and content Scalability vs. expressivity of reasoning on the Web The detailed call for papers, tutorial/demo proposals, and posters can be found at: http://wims.vestforsk.no/cfp.html *Award:* The best paper from all submissions will be determined by the PC and a Best Paper Award will be presented at the conference. *How to submit:* The maximum length of - research papers is at most 12 pages in ACM format - tutorial/demonstration papers is 3 to 12 pages in ACM format - poster is at most 2 pages in ACM format Please note that the submission format is MS Word or PDF.
