2011 IEEE / WIC / ACM International Conferences on Web Intelligence and Intelligent Agent Technology

Call for Workshop Proposal

The 2011 IEEE / WIC / ACM International Conferences on Web Intelligence and 
Intelligent Agent Technology

22 � 27 August 2011, Campus Scientifique de la Doua, Lyon, France

http://wi-iat-2011.org

The Program Committees of the 2011 IEEE/WIC/ACM International Joint Conference on Web Intelligence and Intelligent Agent Technology (WI-IAT�11) invite proposals for Workshops. The Workshops will be held within the Conference, August, 22, 2011 at Lyon, France.

The main goal of the WI-IAT�11 workshops is to stimulate and facilitate active exchange, interaction and comparison of approaches, methods and ideas related to specific topics, both theoretical and applied, in the general areas related to Web Intelligence and Intelligent Agent Technology. The workshops will provide an informal setting where participants will have the opportunity to discuss specific technical topics in an atmosphere that fosters the active exchange of ideas.

The workshop organizers will be responsible for advertising the workshop, forming the program committees, reviewing and selecting the papers, and guaranteeing a high quality worthy of the prestige and range of the Conference. All papers accepted for workshops will be included in the Workshop Proceedings published by IEEE Computer Society Press and will be available at the workshops.

The workshop organizers will also have the discretion of editing selected papers (after their expansion and revision) into books or special journal issues. Workshops may be full-day or half-day. A full-day workshop should select 10-14 regular papers, while a half-day workshop should select 5-7 regular papers, from a large number of submissions. Submissions accepted as workshop papers will be allocated 4 pages in the proceedings. The workshop organizers should ensure the presence of authors of accepted papers at the workshops. Optionally, the workshop may be started or concluded by a panel focusing on interesting aspects, controversial issues, or unsolved problems to stimulate lively, thoughtful, and thought-provoking debate; we expect the workshop organizers to actively engage the audience and help them gain a deeper understanding of the issues. The goal of a panel is to debate and thus panels should always reflect more than one point of view.

Workshop Proposal Submission
-----------------------------

Workshop organizers should submit their proposals (PDF) directly to the three Workshop Chairs via e-mail (see their email addresses below).
Workshop proposals should include the following elements:

- Title of the workshop
- Names of workshop organizers, affiliation, mailing address and e-mail address
- Short CV of organizers
- A description of the topics of the workshop (not exceeding 200 words)
- Type of the workshop (full-day or half-day)
- A description of how the workshop will contribute to the field of Web Intelligence and/or Intelligent Agent Technology
- A short description on how the workshop will be advertised so as to ensure a sufficiently wide range of authors and high quality papers
- Information about previous offerings of the proposed workshop.

Topics of Interest
------------------

Each workshop subject will focus on new research challenges and initiatives in Web Intelligence (WI) and Intelligent Agent Technology (IAT). The workshops should provide an informal and vibrant forum for researchers and industry practitioners to share their research results and practical development experiences in these two fields. Suggested, workshop topics include, but are not limited to:

- Intelligent e-Technology (including e-Science, e-Business, e-Things and e-Activities, e-Learning, e-Finance, e-Medicine, e-Government, e-Community)
- Intelligent Human-Web Interaction

Dear Colleague,

We would like to draw your attention to the 6th International Conference on Evaluation of Novel Approaches to Software Engineering (ENASE 2011), which has currently an open call for papers.
ENASE 2011 will be held in Beijing, China next June 8-11 and will be hosted by the Beijing Jiaotong University. It will be held in conjuction with ICEIS 2011 (http://www.iceis.org) and registration to ENASE will allow free access to ICEIS.

ENASE is interested in promoting high quality research as it can be confirmed by last year acceptance rates, where from 70 submissions, 27% were accepted as full papers and 16% were presented as short papers.

Submitted papers will be subject to a double-blind review process. All accepted papers will be published in the conference proceedings, under an ISBN reference, on paper and on CD-ROM support. CXCS

Revised and extended versions of all full paper which are presented at the conference will be published by Springer-Verlag in a CCIS Series book. 

All papers presented at the conference venue will also be available at SciTePress' Digital Library (www.scitepress.org/DigitalLibrary/).

Workshops and special sessions are also invited. If you wish to propose a workshop or a special session, for example based on the results of a specific research project, please send a proposal to the ENASE secretariat. Workshop chairs and Special Session chairs will benefit from logistics support and other types of support, including secretariat and financial support, to facilitate the development of a valid idea.

Please check further details at the conference website (http://www.enase.org).
