CALL FOR PAPERS

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
 The 2020 IEEE/WIC/ACM International Joint Conference on
Web Intelligence and Intelligent Agent Technology (WI-IAT '20)
                    10-13 December 2020,
                 MELBOURNE, AUSTRALIA

Web has evolved as an omnipresent system which highly impacts science,
education, industry and everyday life. Web is now a vast data production
and consumption platform at which threads of data evolve from multiple
devices, by different human interactions, over worldwide locations under
divergent distributed settings. Such a dynamic and complex system demands
adaptive intelligent solutions, which will advance knowledge, human
interactions and innovation. Web Intelligence and Intelligent Agent
Technology (WI-IAT) is now a cutting edge area which aims to achieve a
multi-disciplinary balance between research advances in theories and
methods usually associated with collective intelligence, data science,
human-centric computing, knowledge management, network science, autonomous
agents and multi-agent systems. It is committed to addressing research that
both deepens the understanding of computational, logical, cognitive,
physical, and social foundations of the future Web, and enables the
development and application of intelligent technologies.

The main theme for the WI-IAT '20 is "Web Intelligence = AI in the
Connected World".

The 2020 IEEE/WIC/ACM International Joint Conference on Web Intelligence
and Intelligent Agent Technology (WI-IAT '20) aims to achieve a
multi-disciplinary balance between research and technological disruptive
advances in the fields of how intelligence is impacting the Web of People,
the Web of Data, the Web of Things, the Web of Trust, and the Web of
Health.
WI-IAT '20 welcomes research, application as well as Industry/Demo track
paper submissions in these core thematic pillars under wider topics, which
demand WI innovative and disruptive solutions for any of the next
indicative sub-topics.
