invite proposals for the Workshops Program. Workshops will be held at
the beginning of the conference, September 20, 2004 at King Wing Hot

As an important part of the 2004 IEEE/WIC/ACM International Joint Conference
on Web Intelligence (WI 2004) and Intelligent Agent Technology (IAT 2004),
the workshops program will focus on new research challenges and initiatives
in the two fields. The workshops will foster the discussion of exciting
research directions and works in progress through paper presentations,
round table and panel discussions, and invited talks. Suggested topics
for workshops include, but are not limited to, the following:
+ Web Intelligence
- Intelligent e-Technology
(including e-Science, e-Business, e-Learning,
e-Finance, e-Government, e-Community)
- Intelligent Human-Web Interaction
- Knowledge Grids and Grid Intelligence
- Semantics and Ontology Engineering
- Social Networks and Social Intelligence
- Ubiquitous Computing
- Web Agents
- Web Information Filtering and Retrieval
- Web Mining and Farming
- Web Security, Integrity, Privacy and Trust
- Web Services and Grid Services
- Web Support Systems
- World Wide Wisdom Web (W4)
+ Intelligent Agent Technology
- Agent Systems Modeling and Methodology
- Autonomous Knowledge and Information Agents
- Autonomous Auctions and Negotiation
- Autonomy-Oriented Computing (AOC)
- Distributed Intelligence
- Distributed Problem Solving
- Learning and Self-Adapting Agents
To foster interaction and discussion, the workshops will be kept small,
with 25-50 participants. Workshops will typically be half-day or one
full day in length.
Workshop participants will be required to register for the workshop
only or the main conferences and the workshop.
Workshop proposals should include the following:
1. Title of the workshop and a brief description.
Please identify the specific issues on which the workshop
will focus. A discussion of the timeliness and relevance
of the workshop is required.
2. The names, postal address, phone and fax numbers, and e-mail
addresses of the workshop organizers and identification of the
principal contact person.
3. A proposed schedule for organizing the workshop, a preliminary
agenda, and the length of the workshop.
Workshop organizers will be responsible for:
a. Producing a "Call for papers/participation" for the workshop
and posting it via electronic lists and other means.
b. Creating a Web page for the workshop.
c. Reviewing papers and selecting participants.
d. Scheduling workshop activities.
e. Publishing workshop proceedings.
(can be a joint task shared by the main conference).
