The Web provides a new medium for storing, presenting, gathering, 
sharing, processing and using information. The impacts of the Web 
can be felt in almost all aspects of life.  Web Intelligence is a 
sub-field of computer science that tries to meet the challenges 
and take advantages of the opportunities offered by the Web. The 
workshop aims to a particular field of Web Intelligence by 
providing a forum for the discussion and exchange of ideas and 
information by researchers, students, and professionals on the 
issues and challenges brought on by the Web technology for various 
support systems. One of our goals is to find out how applications 
and adaptations of existing methodologies on the Web platform 
benefit our decision-makings and various activities.
