IEEE Symposium on Computational Intelligence and Data Mining - CIDM 2007

Honolulu, Hawaii, April 1-5, 2007

Special Session on Web Intelligence and Web Mining

Chair: Mark Last, Ben-Gurion University of the Negev, Israel

Call for Papers

During the last 10 years, the Internet has become a major source of information for millions of people worldwide. Virtually any kind of content in hundreds of languages can be posted and accessed instantly and reliably by individual users, government organizations, and private companies located in any part of the globe. The World Wide Web (WWW) has a tremendous effect on our daily activities at work and at home. Consequently, more effective and efficient methods and technologies are needed to make the most of the Web's heterogeneous and nearly unlimited content. 

The emerging field of Web Intelligence aims at developing computationally intelligent methods to be applied to various aspects and ways of Web exploration. Web Intelligence contributions cover such diverse Web applications as adaptive Web, conversational systems, electronic commerce, information retrieval, information security, recommender systems, user profiling/clustering, and Web design.  Web mining is the application of computational intelligence and data mining techniques to discover useful knowledge from the Web. The three main types of web mining include web usage mining, web content mining, and web structure mining.

The Special Session on Web Intelligence and Web Mining will bring together scientists, engineers, and students to exchange and share their experiences, new ideas, and empirical results about all aspects (theory, applications and tools) of computationally intelligent methods applied to Web-based systems and Web-generated information, as well as to discuss the practical challenges and the emerging solutions.

The session will cover the applications of web intelligence and web mining methods and technologies in the following or similar areas:

• Web usage mining and Web analytics

• Web content mining, text mining, and multimedia mining

• Web structure mining and link analysis

• Web search and querying

• Web ontologies and the Semantic Web

• Cross-lingual and multi-lingual Web information retrieval

• Recommender systems and adaptive Web

• Web user modeling

• Electronic commerce and Web marketplaces   

• E-mail/SMS filtering

• Web security, privacy, and trust

• Web design     

• Web services

• Web warehousing

• Web communities
