CfP: Collective Intelligence in Semantic Web and Social Networks (CISWSN 2008)

[Paolo Torroni]

2nd Workshop on Collective Intelligence in Semantic Web 
and Social Networks (CISWSN 2008)


 IEEE/WIC/ACM Joint International Conference on Web Intelligence 
and Intelligent Agent Technology 2008, 
Sydney, Australia, 9-12 December 2008

Scope of the Workshop

Semantic web environment has been evolving. Its emerging environment is 
characterised by intensive collaboration, cooperation and knowledge 
processing activities with formation of complex social and economical 
networks in the background. Various knowledge processing techniques are 
being used to address data portability and Web information discovery 
problems. Collective intelligence is a key issue to collaboratively 
share knowledge and even generate new knowledge. Many Web 2.0 platforms 
(e.g., blogs and wikis) have been developed to exchange meaningful 
information and support user-centered tasks on a variety of domains 
(e.g., e-learning, e-commerce, and e-government). Local knowledge is 
annotated into a large repositories of content including not only simple 
documents but also multimedia data. For example, collaborative tagging 
(e.g., del.icio.us) can play an important role in knowledge (or 
information) sharing between people on social networks. Modelling the 
dynamics and evolution of such complex systems, involving knowledge 
processing with intelligent information agents acting on behalf of 
thousands of users, is a new and promising research area with many 
practical applications.

The aim of this workshop is to bring together researchers and 
practitioners in areas of knowledge and intelligence, semantics, agents 
and grid computing to share their visions, research achievements and 
solutions, to resolve the challenge issues and to establish worldwide 
cooperative research and development. We also want to provide a platform 
for discussing research topics underlying the concepts of Social 
Semantics for Linked Data by contacting members of different communities 
that share the common interest on social semantic collaborative 
intelligence on the web for developing methods and tools: - Semantic Web 
researchers who use social semantic techniques for modeling 
collaboration and intelligence on the web. - Members of the Linked Open 
Data initiative who provide means for publishing and using linked open 
data on the web. - Members of the Intelligent Agent community who 
develop agents and algorithms for collaboration and intelligence on the web.

This will give an opportunity to push further the discussion upon the 
potential of social semantic collaborative intelligence across these 
communities.

Instructions for Authors

Potential participants are invited to submit full papers, not exceeding 
4 pages in length, using the IEEE Computer Society's 2-column conference 
proceedings format. The formatting instructions and author guidelines 
can be found at 
http://www.computer.org/portal/pages/ieeecs/publications. The 
manuscripts should be submitted electronically using the WI-IAT 2008 
Cyberchair electronic submission system. Each submission will be 
reviewed by at least two program committee members. Authors of accepted 
papers will be notified by September 3, 2008.

Proceedings and Post-workshop Publications

Accepted papers will be published in the conference proceedings by the 
IEEE Computer Society Press that is indexed by EI. In addition, extended 
versions of selected papers may be published in chosen prospective 
journals and in an edited book (TBA): 
- International Journal of Intelligent Information and Database Systems 
- Journal of Universal Computer Science 
- International Journal of Virtual Communities and Social Networking 
A number of papers will be selected to be published in a special issue 
of Computing and Informatics journal.
