About WIMSﾒ14 Conference
-------------------------
WIMS is a series of peer-reviewed International Computer Science conferences. It is a forum for researchers and practitioners to present their state-of-the-art results in building Intelligent Web, to examine performance characteristics of various approaches in Web-based intelligent information technology, and to cross-fertilize their ideas on the development of Web-based intelligent information management solutions across different domains.
Objectives
-----------
The purpose of the WIMS series is:
- To provide a forum for established researchers and practitioners to present their contributions to the state of the art research and development in Web technology and applications.
- To give doctoral students an opportunity to present their research to a friendly and knowledgeable audience and receive valuable feedback.
- To provide an informal social event where Web technology researchers and practitioners can meet.
Call for Research Papers/Posters
--------------------------------
WIMSﾒ14 is intended to foster the dissemination of state-of-the-art research in the area of Web intelligence, Web mining, Web semantics and the fundamental interaction between them. Authors are invited to submit regular (12 pages) or short (6 pages) research papers or posters (4 pages) on all related areas. Papers exploring new directions or areas will receive a thorough and encouraging review.
More details on the nature of the different submission types can be found at:
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://wims14.csd.auth.gr/?page_id=23">http://wims14.csd.auth.gr/?page_id=23</a>
The papers in all the categories should describe original results that have not been accepted or submitted for publication elsewhere. All submissions will be evaluated by at least three members of the international program committee.
Submissions should be made electronically in PDF or DOC/DOCX (MS/Open Word) format via the electronic submission system of the WIMSﾒ14 Conference Management system at
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=wims14">https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=wims14</a>
The submissions should be typeset using the templates of the ACM International Conference Proceedings Series (ICPS). The templates could be retrieved from <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.acm.org/sigs/publications/proceedings-templates">http://www.acm.org/sigs/publications/proceedings-templates</a>
Call for Application and Case Study Track Papers
-------------------------------------------------
The goal of this track is to provide opportunities for researchers, innovators, industry leaders, and practitioners to present and exchange ideas, results, and experiences in the applications of Web Intelligence, Mining, and Semantics (WIMS). The Application & Case Studies Track invites submissions describing implementations of Web Intelligence, Mining, and Semantics in industrial or government or other ﾑreal worldﾒ settings. Papers must include descriptions of how the applications have been conceived, developed, and (probably) deployed.
Details about the submission types and the submission procedure of this track can be found at:
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://wims14.csd.auth.gr/?page_id=154">http://wims14.csd.auth.gr/?page_id=154</a>
Call for Tutorials/Demonstration Proposals
-------------------------------------------
WIMSﾒ14 also welcomes Tutorial and/or Demonstration proposals. WIMSﾒ14 will include tutorials and/or demonstrations (on new applications) providing in-depth background on subjects that are of broad interest to the Web Mining and Web Semantics community. The tutorials will be part of the main conference technical program. Proposal papers must be no less than 5 pages and no more than 12 pages, and must provide a sense of both the scope of the tutorial and depth within the scope.
Details about the submissions of the tutorial/demonstration proposals can be found at:
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://wims14.csd.auth.gr/?page_id=148">http://wims14.csd.auth.gr/?page_id=148</a>
Call for Workshop Proposals
----------------------------
WIMSﾒ14 invites proposals for workshops to be held in conjunction with the conference. Organizers may structure workshops as they see fit, possibly including invited talks, panel discussions, presentations of work in progress, peer-reviewed papers, or some combination. A workshop could be scheduled for a half a day or a full day, depending on potential interest and organizers preference.
The organizers of successful workshops will be responsible for their own reviewing process, website, and to co-ordinate the collection and delivery of camera ready material and ACM copyright transfer. Accepted papers in workshops will be published in the WIMSﾒ14 proceedings and disseminated through the ACM Digital Library. Selected extended papers will be invited to appear in a special issue of a reputed journal in the field.

Conference Scope
-----------------
WIMS solicits regular and work-in-progress research, discussion papers and industry experience report papers in related fields. Papers exploring new directions or areas are also welcome. In particular but not exclusively the submissions within the following major areas are relevant:
- Scalable Web and Data Architectures and Infrastructures
- Web Intelligence
- Web Mining, Information and Knowledge Extraction
- Web Semantics and Reasoning
- WIMS Applications
- Evaluation and Validation of WIMS Technologies and Applications
