WIMS 2015: Last Call for Tutorials, Demos and Workshops

*** Last Call for Tutorials, Demos and Workshops ***

5th International Conference on Web Intelligence, Mining and Semantics

WIMS 2015

July 13-15, 2015, St. Raphael Resort, Limassol, Cyprus

http://cyprusconferences.org/wims2015/ 

The 5th International Conference on Web Intelligence, Mining and Semantics

(WIMS 2015) organization committee invites proposals for tutorials,

demonstrations (on new applications) and workshops providing in-depth

background on subjects that are of broad interest to the Web Mining and Web

Semantics community. The overall purpose of tutorials and workshops is to

provide participants with the opportunity to present and discuss novel

research ideas in areas of Web intelligence, Web mining and Web semantics,

with a particular emphasis on the fundamental interaction between these

vibrant fields of research and development. The purpose of demonstrations

is to provide developers with a place to showcase new practical and innovative

implementations of state-of-the-art systems in the areas of interest to the

Web Intelligence and Semantics community.

Tutorials and workshops provide a forum for an intensive and focused

scientific exchange amongst researchers and practitioners interested in a

particular topic and a meeting venue for the community. Organizers may

structure tutorials/workshops as they see fit, possibly including invited talks,

panel discussions, presentations of work in progress, peer-reviewed papers,

demonstrations or some combination. A tutorial/workshop could be

scheduled for a half a day or a full day, depending on potential interest and

organizers preference.

The proposals should address topics that satisfy the following criteria:

* The topic falls in the general scope of WIMS 2015

    (http://Cyprusconferences.org/wims2015).

* There is a clear focus on a specific theme, technology, problem, or

    application.

* There is a sufficiently large audience interested in the topic.

The organizers of successful workshops will be responsible for their own

reviewing process, website, arranging invited speakers and coordinate the

collection and delivery of camera ready material. There is an opportunity for

papers accepted in workshops to be published in the WIMS 2015 proceedings

and disseminated through the ACM Digital Library, provided they follow the

ACM submission guidelines and template and adhere to camera-ready

submission and registration deadlines as those set for the main conference.

Selected extended papers will be invited to appear in a special issue of a

reputed journal in the field.
