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:
- 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
- Spontaneous social networks
- e-Communities in ambient intelligence
- Transient e-Communities
- Personalisation, reputation and recommendations
- Privacy, security and trust aspects in e-Communities
- Applications of social networks in e-* (learning, health, government, games etc.)
- Performances evaluation, experiments, and user feed-back
- Process modelling for e-Communities
