*INVITED SPEAKER*

Professor Sören Auer, Rheinische Friedrich-Wilhelms-Universität Bonn &
Fraunhofer Institute for Intelligent Analysis and Information Systems
(IAIS), Germany
Title of the talk: Towards Web Intelligence through the Crowdsourcing of
Semantics

*SCOPE OF THE WORKSHOP*

Web Intelligence consists of a multidisciplinary area dealing with
exploiting data and services over the Web, to create new data and services
using both Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) and Artificial
Intelligence (AI) techniques. Communities appear as a first-class object in
the areas of web intelligence and agent technologies, as well as a crucial
crossroads of several sub-domains (i.e. user modelling, protocols, data
management, data mining, content modelling, etc.). These sub-domains impact
the nature of the communities and the applications which are related to
them. These applications are numerous, and the success of well-known Social
Network Sites for entertainment should not be allowed to over-shadow the
other application domains, for instance in education, health, design,
knowledge management, and so forth.

The workshop will provide presentation and discussion opportunities for
researchers working on web intelligence applied to collaborative networks,
such as virtual communities. The possibilities and consequences of the web
usage for collaborative networks are tremendous and new tools are required
to satisfy users and service providers.

The workshop Web Intelligence and Communities expects contributions on
topics such as:

- User centric application based on social intelligence
- Linked data and big data for e-Communities
- Semantics and ontologies for e-Communities
- SOA, services and cloud for e-Communities
- Multi-agent models and tools for e-Communities
- Storage, querying, and diffusion
- Social, psychological and economical aspects of e-Communities
- Innovation and e-Communities
- Social networks enhancements
- Mobility and context-awareness
- e-Communities in ambient intelligence
- Transient e-Communities
- Personalisation, reputation and recommendations
- Privacy, security and trust aspects in e-Communities
- Applications: e-* (learning, health, government, games etc.)
- Performances evaluation, experiments, and user feed-back
- Process modelling for e-Communities


*SUBMISSIONS*

theoretical, experimental, methodological as well as application papers.
Discussion papers and demonstration papers are also welcome.
