The 2015 IEEE/WIC/ACM International Conference on Web Intelligence (WI’15)
and the 2015 IEEE/WIC/ACM International Conference on Intelligent Agent
Technology (IAT’15) will be held in Singapore December 6-9, 2015, hosted
by the Joint NTU-UBC Research Centre of Excellence in Active Living for the
Elderly (LILY) at Nanyang Technological University (NTU) and the Living
Analytics Research Centre at Singapore Management University (SMU). The two
co-located conferences are sponsored by IEEE Computer Society Technical
Committee on Intelligent Informatics (TCII), Web Intelligence Consortium
(WIC), ACM-SIGART, and the Memetic Computing Society.

Following the great successes of WI-IAT’01 held in Maebashi, Japan, WI-IAT’03
in Halifax, Canada, WI-IAT’04 in Beijing, China, WI-IAT’05 in Compiegne,
France, WI-IAT’06 in Hong Kong, WI-IAT’07 in Silicon-Valley, USA, WI-IAT’08

Atlanta, USA, and WI-IAT’14 in Warsaw, Poland, the WI-IAT’15 will provide
a global forum for scientists, engineers and educators to present the latest
WI-IAT technologies and the development of future intelligent systems for
complex applications. We will celebrate the common theme of Big Data in Global
Brain and Social Networks and we welcome industry sessions representing both
local and international companies developing solutions and running projects
related to those areas.

CALL FOR PANEL PROPOSALS
++++++++++++++++++++++++

Panel submissions are invited for WI-IAT 2015.  Web Intelligence (WI’15) will
provide a leading international forum for researchers and practitioners
interested in exploring the fundamental roles as well as practical impacts of
Artificial Intelligence (AI) (e.g., knowledge representation, planning,
knowledge discovery and data mining, intelligent agents, and social network
intelligence) on the next generation of Web-empowered products, systems,
services, and activities.  Intelligent Agent Technology 2015 (IAT’15) will
provide a leading international forum to bring together researchers and
practitioners from diverse fields, such as computer science, information
technology, business, education, human factors, systems engineering, and
robotics, to examine the design principles and performance characteristics
of various approaches in intelligent agent technology.

The panels shall offer an interactive forum that engages panelists and the
audience in lively discussion of important and often controversial issues.
Panels should be lively, interactive, informative and relevant.  Panels
should not be a set of independent talks.  The panel organizer should
facilitate discussion.  For example, the panel organizer may challenge
panelists with questions after short opening statements.

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