CALL FOR WORKSHOP PROPOSALS

The Program Committees of the 2015 IEEE/WIC/ACM International Conference on 
Web Intelligence (WI'15) and  2015 IEEE/WIC/ACM International Conference on 
Intelligent Agent Technology (IAT'15) invite proposals for workshops. The 
workshops will be held within the Conference, December 6-9, 2015 in 
Singapore. The main goal of the WI-IAT 2015 workshops is to stimulate and 
facilitate active exchange, interaction and comparison of approaches, 
methods and ideas related to specific topics, both theoretical and applied, 
in the general areas related to Web Intelligence and Intelligent Agent 
Technology. The workshops will provide an informal setting where 
participants will have the opportunity to discuss specific technical topics 
in an atmosphere that fosters the active exchange of ideas.

The workshop organizers will be responsible for advertising the workshop, 
forming the program committees, reviewing and selecting the papers, and 
guaranteeing a high quality worthy of the prestige and range of the 
Conference. All papers accepted for workshops will be included in the 
Workshop Proceedings published by IEEE Computer Society Press and will be 
available at the workshops.

The workshop organizers will also have the discretion of editing selected 
papers (after their expansion and revision) into books or special journal 
issues. Workshops may be full-day or half-day. A full-day workshop should 
select 10-14 regular papers, while a half-day workshop should select 5-7 
regular papers, from a large number of submissions. Submissions accepted as 
workshop papers will be allocated 4 pages in the proceedings. The workshop 
organizers should ensure the presence of authors of accepted papers at the 
workshops. Optionally, the workshop may be started or concluded by a panel 
focusing on interesting aspects, controversial issues, or unsolved problems 
to stimulate lively, thoughtful, and thought-provoking debate. We expect 
the workshop organizers to actively engage the audience and help them gain 
a deeper understanding of the issues.

All inquiries and submission of workshop proposals should be addressed to 
the Workshop Chairs via e-mail.
