The 2021 IEEE/WIC/ACM International Joint Conference on Web Intelligence and Intelligent Agent Technology (WI-IAT '21) will be held in Melbourne, Australia during 14th to 17th of December. Its organizing committee invites proposals for workshops/special sessions to be held in conjunction with the conference. The goals of the workshops/special sessions are to explore emerging research topics and to provide a forum for authors to present early research results on these topics. We would like to have a number of workshops/special sessions, with a high quality program dominated by contributed papers. We expect that workshops/special sessions will run a rigorous review process, to make sure programs will be of high-quality. Organizers may structure workshops/special sessions as they see fit, possibly including invited talks, panel discussions, presentations of work in progress, peer-reviewed papers, demonstrations, or some combination.
