WIMS-2014 **Call for Workshop Proposals*

The 4^th International Conference on Web Intelligence, Mining and 
Semantics (WIMS 2014) organizing committee invites proposals for 
workshops to be held in conjunction with the conference. The overall 
purpose of a workshop is to provide participants with the opportunity to 
present and discuss novel research ideas on areas of Web intelligence, 
Web mining and Web semantics, with a particular emphasis on the 
fundamental interaction between these vibrant fields of research and 
development.

The role of the workshops is to provide a forum for an intensive and 
focused scientific exchange amongst researchers and practitioners 
interested in a particular topic and a meeting venue for the community. 
Organizers may structure workshops as they see fit, possibly including 
invited talks, panel discussions, presentations of work in progress, 
peer-reviewed papers, or some combination. A workshop could be scheduled 
for a half a day or a full day, depending on potential interest and 
organizers preference.

Workshops should address topics that satisfy the following criteria:

* The topic falls in the general scope of WIMS 2014 
(http://wims14.csd.auth.gr/)

* There is a clear focus on a specific theme, technology, problem, or 
application

* There is a sufficiently large audience interested in the topic

The organizers of successful workshops will be responsible for their own 
reviewing process, website, and to co-ordinate the collection and 
delivery of camera ready material and ACM copyright transfer. Accepted 
papers in workshops will be published in the WIMS�14 proceedings and 
disseminated through the ACM Digital Library. Selected extended papers 
will be invited to appear in a special issue of a reputed journal in the 
field.
