About WIMS'14 Conference
--------------------------------------
WIMS is a series of peer-reviewed International Computer Science conferences. It is a forum for researchers and practitioners to present their state-of-the-art results in building Intelligent Web, to examine performance characteristics of various approaches in Web-based intelligent information technology, and to cross-fertilize their ideas on the development of Web-based intelligent information management solutions across different domains.

HIGHLIGHTS
-----------------
Proceedings published in ACM International Conference Proceedings Series.

Post-conference Special Issue at the International Journal on Artificial Intelligence Tools (IJAIT).

Keynote Speakers:
- "Large-Scale Reasoning with (Semantic) Data": Grigoris Antoniou, Professor, University of Huddersfield - "Semantic Technology for online, broadcast and print media": Jem Rayfield, Head Architect, Financial Times - "Big Data – from Hype to Reality": Richard Benjamins, Dr., Director of Business Intelligence, Telefonica

Venue & Accommodation: Porto Palace Hotel (http://www.portopalace.gr/en), a luxurious five-star hotel in the city of Thessaloniki. Low room prices have been secured for the WIMS 2014 attendees (75€/single, 85€/double).

Call for Research Papers/Posters
--------------------------------------------
WIMS'14 is intended to foster the dissemination of state-of-the-art research in the area of Web intelligence, Web mining, Web semantics and the fundamental interaction between them. Authors are invited to submit regular (12 pages) or short (6 pages) research papers or posters (4 pages) on all related areas. Papers exploring new directions or areas will receive a thorough and encouraging review.

More details on the nature of the different submission types can be found at:
http://wims14.csd.auth.gr/?page_id=23

The papers in all the categories should describe original results that have not been accepted or submitted for publication elsewhere. All submissions will be evaluated by at least three members of the international program committee.

Submissions should be made electronically in PDF or DOC/DOCX (MS/Open Word) format via the electronic submission system of the WIMS'14 Conference Management system at
https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=wims14

The submissions should be typeset using the templates of the ACM International Conference Proceedings Series (ICPS). The templates could be retrieved from http://www.acm.org/sigs/publications/proceedings-templates

Call for Application and Case Study Track Papers
----------------------------------------------------------------
The goal of this track is to provide opportunities for researchers, innovators, industry leaders, and practitioners to present and exchange ideas, results, and experiences in the applications of Web Intelligence, Mining, and Semantics (WIMS). The Application & Case Studies Track invites submissions describing implementations of Web Intelligence, Mining, and Semantics in industrial or government or other 'real world' settings. Papers must include descriptions of how the applications have been conceived, developed, and (probably) deployed.

Details about the submission types and the submission procedure of this track can be found at:
http://wims14.csd.auth.gr/?page_id=154

Conference Scope
-------------------------
WIMS solicits regular and work-in-progress research, discussion papers and industry experience report papers in related fields. Papers exploring new directions or areas are also welcome. In particular but not exclusively the submissions within the following major areas are relevant:

- Scalable Web and Data Architectures and Infrastructures
- Web Intelligence
- Web Mining, Information and Knowledge Extraction
- Web Semantics and Reasoning
- WIMS Applications
- Evaluation and Validation of WIMS Technologies and Applications

More details about the conference scope and topics can be found at:
http://wims14.csd.auth.gr/?page_id=146

Publications
----------------
Accepted papers/tutorials/posters will be published by ACM and disseminated through the ACM Digital Library through the International Conference Proceedings Series (ICPS).

A selection of the best WIMS'14 papers will be invited to be revised and extended for the post-conference publication in the Special Issue of the International Journal on Artificial Intelligence Tools (IJAIT).
