to be held at the 2012 World Wide Web International Conferences (WWW'12)
Lyon, France, April 16-20, 2012

*Important Dates:*

Paper submission deadline: January 27th, 2012

*INVITED SPEAKER*

We are honored to have a invited talk from Ashwin Ram (PARC & Georgia Tech).

Title: Health & Wellness 2.0 with social networks for healthcare

*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 platforms 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
	Surveys on WI and VC
	Semantic Web technologies for Social Data integration and fusion
	Human-based behaviour patterns and modelling


*SUBMISSIONS*

The Web Intelligence and Communities workshop welcomes the submission of theoretical,
experimental, methodological as well as application papers. Discussion papers and demonstration papers (for presentation during the workshop) are also welcome.

Submitted papers should be 10 pages maximum in length (4 pages for the discussion and demonstration papers), including figures and references. The paper must be formatted in pdf according to style guidelines of ACM SIG Proceedings Template available here: http://www.acm.org/sigs/publications/proceedings-templates

All submissions should be done online on the workshop submission web site:https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=wic2012

The WI&C workshop are traditionnaly followed by post-proceedings
published in a renowned international journal (for the 2 last ones, it
was the International Journal on Web Intelligence & Agent
Systems). Discussions are in progress to decide which journal will
publish a special issue with the post-proceedings of WI&C 2012.
