Call for Workshop and Special Session Proposals

The 2022 IEEE/WIC/ACM International Joint Conference on Web Intelligence and Intelligent Agent Technology (WI-IAT'22) will be held in Niagara Falls, Canada during 18th to 20th of November. 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.

Topic of Interest

The topic falls in the general scope of WI-IAT 2022.

Workshops/special-sessions under this theme “Web Intelligence = AI in the Connected World” are encouraged.
