About this title

Synopsis

This volume contains the papers selected for presentation at the First Asia- Paci?c Conference on Web Intelligence (WI 2001) held in Maebashi TERRSA, Maebashi City,Japan,October 23-26,2001. It was sponsored by ACM SIGART and Maebashi Institute of Technology,in cooperation with ACM SIGCHI,ACM SIGWEB,the Japanese Society for Arti?cial Intelligence (JSAI),JSAI SIGFAI, JSAI SIGKBS,and IEICE SIGKBSE. The conference was held jointly with the Second Asia-Paci?c Conference on Intelligent Agent Technology (IAT 2001). WI 2001 was the ?rst conference on a new and emerging sub?eld of computer science known as Web Intelligence. It provided an international forum for re- archers and practitioners to present the state of the art in the development of Web intelligence,to examine performance characteristics of various approaches in Web-based intelligent information technology,and to cross-fertilize ideas on the development of Web-based intelligent information systems among di?erent domains. By idea-sharing and discussions on the underlying foundations and the enabling technologies of Web intelligence,we hoped to stimulate the future development of new models,new methodologies,and new tools for building a variety of embodiments of Intelligent Web Information Systems (IWIS). In spite of its name,WI 2001 was truly an international conference that - tracted 153 full-length research paper submissions from 31 countries and regions of all continents. Each submitted paper was reviewed by at least three experts on the basis of technical soundness,relevance,originality,signi?cance,and clarity.

Review

From the reviews:

"The book deals with ... problems of web distributed intelligence. This book is the first coherently written multi-author monograph on Web Intelligence (WI). It offers a thorough introduction and systematic overview of the new fields. ... This monograph is recommended by the WIC as the first book on WI research. ... The book is a valuable and lasting source of reference for researchers and developers interested in WI. Developers and students additionally appreciate numerous illustrations and examples." (Ing. Jaroslav Veselư, Neural Network World, Vol. 14 (6), 2004)

"The book studies both the intelligent method of Web use and the intelligent Web services and the Infrastructure. ... This interesting book will be useful not only for Web theorists, scientists and pioneers, but it gives a comprehensive look at today’s research direction. From this viewpoint it can be interesting for many practitioners. ... the book brings useful information also for scientists in many different fields, especially for robotics and design theories." (Tomas Brandejsky, Neural Network World, Vol. 13 (6), 2003)
