====================================
WEB INTELLIGENCE AND AGENT SYSTEMS: An International Journal (WIAS) is
an official journal of Web Intelligence Consortium (WIC), an
international organization dedicated to promoting collaborative
scientific research and industrial development in the era of Web and
agent intelligence. WIAS seeks to collaborate with major societies and
international conferences in the fields. Presently, it has established
a tie with the International Conference on Web Intelligence (WI) and
the International Conference on Intelligent Agent Technology (IAT).
WIAS is a peer-reviewed journal, which publishes 4 issues a year, in
both electronic and hard copies.
WIAS aims to achieve a disciplinary balance between Web technology and
intelligent agent technology. It is committed to deepening the
understanding of computational, logical, cognitive, physical, and
social foundations as well as the enabling technologies for developing
and applying Web-based intelligence and autonomous agents systems.
The journal features high-quality, original research papers (including
state-of-the-art reviews), brief papers, and letters in all
theoretical and technology areas that make up the field of WIAS.
The papers should clearly focus on some of the following areas of
interest:
o Agent infrastructure and architecture
o Agent self-organization, learning, and adaptation
o Agent-based knowledge discovery
o Agent-mediated markets
o Autonomy-oriented or autonomic computing
o Cooperative problem solving
o Distributed intelligence and emergent behavior
o Emerging agent-based, Web-based systems and computing paradigms
o Evaluation and standards for agent-based Web intelligence technologies
o Information ecology
o Knowledge management, networks, and communities
o Mediators and middleware
o Ontology engineering
o Personalization techniques
o Security issues in Web and agent systems
o Semantic Web, Web services and interoperability
o Ubiquitous computing and social intelligence
o Web information filtering and retrieval
o Web mining and farming
Authors are invited to submit complete and original papers, which have
not been published elsewhere and are not currently under consideration
for another journal or conference.
Each manuscript prepared for WIAS must fall into one of the following
categories:
1. Original research papers: Articles will be full-length papers
(approximately 20 journal pages) reporting well-defined theoretical
results and empirical studies that have potential impacts on the
understanding of computational, logical, cognitive, physical, and
social foundations, as well as the enabling technologies for
developing and applying Web-based intelligence and autonomous agents
systems. It is assumed that the ideas presented are important, have
been well analyzed or empirically validated, and are of value to Web
and agent intelligence research communities.
2. State-of-the-art reviews: Articles can also be state-of-the-art
reviews, which will be either perspective tutorial articles in rapidly
evolving fields or comprehensive scholarly reviews of significant
topics.
3. Brief papers: A brief paper presents results that are important and
original and are presented in concise form.
4. Letters: A letter is aimed at conveying only a few principal ideas
or commenting on certain work previously published in the WIAS
journal.
The manuscripts submitted to WIAS are subjected to a rigorous review
process handled by the Editors-in-Chief and designated Editorial Board
Member(s).
All manuscripts for consideration must be submitted electronically
through an Electronic Submission Form, available from the Web
Intelligence Consortium (WIC) homepage at http://wi-consortium.org/
(under "WIAS journal").
In order to facilitate the review process, authors are required to
mark the topics (within the Electronic Submission Form) to which their
submissions are most relevant.
