</font><font face="Geneva"><u>Conference Purpose and Scope<br>
</u></font><font face="Lucida Grande"><br>
WIMS is a series of peer-reviewed International Computer
Science<br>
conferences. It is a forum for researchers and
practitioners to present their<br>
state-of-the-art results in building Intelligent Web, to
examine performance<br>
characteristics of various approaches in Web-based
intelligent information<br>
technology, and to cross-fertilize their ideas on the
development of Web<br>
-based intelligent information management solutions
across different<br>
domains.<br>
<br>
The purpose of the WIMS series is to: <br>
<br>
* Provide a forum for established researchers and
practitioners to present<br>
their contributions to the state of the art research and
development in Web<br>
technology and applications.<br>
<br>
* Give doctoral students an opportunity to present their
research to a friendly<br>
and knowledgeable audience and receive valuable
feedback.<br>
<br>
* Provide an informal social event where Web technology
researchers and<br>
practitioners can meet.<br>
<br>
WIMS traditionally hosts a small number of short
tutorials on the topics<br>
related to the scope of the conference series. The role
of a WIMS tutorial is to<br>
be a theme-oriented comprehensive survey. The call for
WIMS 2015 tutorials<br>
is published separately.<br>
<br>
WIMS also offers its infrastructure and facilities for
the organizers of satellite<br>
workshops that complement the scope of the conference.
The call for WIMS<br>
2015 workshops is also published separately. <br>
<br>
Companies or individuals interested in presenting their
industrial products or<br>
methodologies are invited to contact the conference
chairs. <br>
<br>
<u>Conference Scope<br>
</u><br>

<u>Submission Guidelines<br>
<br>
</u>Four types of submissions are solicited for the main
conference:<br>
i. Regular research papers<br>
ii. Short research papers<br>
iii. Case Studies and Applications papers<br>
iv. Posters<br>
<br>
The papers in all the categories should describe
original results that have not<br>
been accepted or submitted for publication elsewhere.
All submissions will be<br>
evaluated by at least three members of the international
program committee.<br>
<br>
<u>Regular Research Papers<br>
</u><br>
The papers in this category are the reports on
accomplished research work or<br>
in-depth discussions and analysis of a certain problem.
The first type of<br>
papers can present a novel method, technique or analysis
with appropriate<br>
empirical or other type of evaluation as a proof of
validity. The main<br>
evaluation criteria for this category are originality,
technical soundness, and<br>
the soundness of evaluation. For the second type within
the genre we expect<br>
receiving reasonable overviews placing a problem onto
the state-of-the-art<br>
landscape and analyzing how far current solutions fall
short. We also expect<br>
in-depth discussions and analysis of a certain problem,
with clear definitions<br>
and argumentation in terms of qualitative or
quantitative representation of<br>
the main characteristics of the problem.<br>
<br>
Page limit: 12 ACM pages<br>
<br>
<br>
<u>Short Research Papers<br>
</u><br>
The papers in this category are the short reports of the
preliminary results or<br>
describing the work in progress. The main evaluation
criteria for this category<br>
are originality, technical correctness, and possible
value of the planned<br>
results in a short to mid-term perspective. <br>
<br>
Short papers can be also presented in a form of a
poster.<br>
<br>
Page limit: 6 ACM pages<br>
<br>
<u>Case Studies and Applications Papers<br>
</u><br>
The papers in this category describe case studies of
deployed applications,<br>
lessons learnt, and examples of measurable benefits.

<u>Posters</u><br>
<br>
WIMS poster track is a venue for late-breaking results,
ongoing research<br>
activities, and speculative or innovative work in
progress. This track is<br>
intended to provide authors and participants with the
