OVERVIEW
=========
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.

This special issue welcomes papers on topics such as:
- User centric application based on social intelligence
