*KEYNOTE SPEAKER*

We are honoured to welcome Anind Dey (Human-Computer Interaction Institute, Carnegie Mellon University) to the WIVE'10 workshop for an invited talk.

*JOURNAL PUBLICATION FOR POST-PROCEEDINGS*

A selection of an extended version of workshop papers will be published as post-proceedings in a special issue of the International Journal of Web Intelligence and Agent Systems (http://www.iospress.nl/loadtop/load.php?isbn=15701263).

*SCOPE OF THE WORKSHOP*

Internet is a medium allowing services and information exchange in an open and decentralized environment, notably with numerous applications for virtual enterprises. It concerns enterprise information systems, local, regional and governmental organizations but it also involves more and more common users in the so-called web 2.0. The main stake is to use Internet as a technological support to communication, information exchange, service composition personalisation and access by all and anywhere. In this perspective, some work has been done these last years to combine classical techniques of information management with artificial intelligence technologies thus creating a new research domain called Web Intelligence. Research in Web Intelligence contributes to the development of algorithms, models and tools to handle the social and economic impact of the web usages.

The workshop will provide presentation and discussion opportunities for researchers working on web intelligence applied to collaborative networks, such as virtual enterprises and organizations. The possibilities and consequences of the web usage for collaborative networks are tremendous and new tools are required to satisfy users and service providers. Thus, Web Intelligence brings new research problems related to information and service access, quality of service, personalization, privacy preserving, trust as well as other issues.

The workshop Web Intelligence and Virtual Enterprises (VE) expects contributions on topics such as:

   * Multi-agent models and tools for VE
   * Services and Grid Services for VE, Service oriented architectures
   * Web information mining, filtering and retrieval within/for VE
   * Web-based applications and plate-forms for VE
   * Intelligent web interaction, querying, diffusion
   * Semantics and ontology engineering for VE
   * Self-* models and techniques for VE
   * Social networks modelling, virtual communities, social intelligence
   * Context-based approach, profile management, personalization and recommendations for/through VE
   * Privacy preserving, security, trust-based computing & reputation systems
   * Applications: E-* (market, procurement, technologies, health, government, etc.) and VE
   * VE and content and knowledge repositories, behaviour modelling and exchange
   * Web intelligence, mobility and VE, Ambient Intelligence, Pervasive computing
   * Performances evaluation, experiments, user feed-back
   * Surveys on WI and VE

The organization of the Web Intelligence & Virtual Enterprises workshop at PRO-VE'10 is supported by the Web Intelligence project from the French Rhône-Alpes regional cluster ISLE.

*SUBMISSIONS*

The Web Intelligence and Virtual Enterprises workshop welcomes the submission of theoretical, experimental, methodological as well as application papers. Papers may report on completed work, descriptions of work in progress or discussion papers.

Submitted papers will undergo a thorough review process. Papers will be published into the CD-Rom of the conference. In addition, a selection of the workshop papers will be published as post-proceedings in a special issue of the International Journal of Web Intelligence and Agent Systems (http://www.iospress.nl/loadtop/load.php?isbn=15701263).

Submitted papers should be 16 pages maximum in length, including figures and references. The paper must be formatted according to the double column style guidelines for A4 papers available here: http://wi-consortium.org/wias/submissionInst.html

All papers should be prepared in pdf format and submitted on the web site
