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:

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