Please consider to contribute and invite your team members to submit and publish original scientific results to the III Web and Text Intelligence.
The submission deadline is June 28, 2010.

III International Workshop on Web and Text Intelligence (III WTI)

http://www.labic.icmc.usp.br/wti2010/

best papers to be invited for inclusion in the

Journal of the Brazilian Computer Society (Springer)

Important dates:

Paper submission: June 28, 2010.

Accepted paper notification: August 09, 2010.

Web and text intelligence are related areas that have been used to improve human computer interaction in general and in particular to explore and analyse information available on the Internet. Both areas benefit from knowledge, concepts and techniques from artificial intelligence, statistics, linguistic, graph theory, among other fields. Web and Text Mining are hot application areas for AI and source for inspiration for new AI methods and algorithms. The growing of social networks and Web site interactivity demands more powerful representation for Web and its dynamics, such as Graphs and Complex Networks. Complex Network formalisms are being applied not only for the Web but to approach many other complex phenomena studied in AI. Known developments are self adaptive web sites, usage monitoring, web site personalization, social network analyses, community detection, automatic Web site organization, information retrieval, information extraction, large document collection mining and exploration, visualization, usability, among others.
The Web and Text Intelligence workshop expects to gather researchers who work on methods and theories (and their applications) that help us to understand the Web and to build automatic tools for better exploiting its complex world.

After the conference, authors of best papers will be invited to submit an extended version of their papers for possible inclusion in the JBCS - the Journal of the Brazilian Computer Society (Springer).

This workshop is a follow up of the 2nd International Workshop on Web and Text Intelligence (http://www.labic.icmc.usp.br/wti2009/) which took place in São Carlos, Brazil, September 2009, as a workshop of STIL09; the 1st Web an Network Intelligence (http://epia2009.web.ua.pt/wni/) which took place in Aveiro, Portugal, October 2009, as a thematic track of EPIA09; and the 1st International Workshop on Web and Text Intelligence (http://www.liaad.up.pt/~wti08/) which took place in Salvador, Brazil, October 2008, as a workshop of SBIA08.
