The 2021
IEEE/WIC/ACM International Joint Conference on Web Intelligence and
Intelligent
Agent Technology (WI-IAT'21) provides a premier international
forum to bring
together researchers and practitioners from diverse fields for
presentation of
original research results, as well as exchange and
dissemination
of innovative and practical development experiences on Web
intelligence
and intelligent agent technology research and applications.
Academia,
professionals and industry people can exchange their ideas, findings
and strategies
in utilizing the power of human brains and man-made networks to
create a better
world. More specifically, the fields of how intelligence is
impacting the
Web of People, the Web of Data, the Web of Things, the Web of
Trust, the Web
of Agents, and emerging Web in health and smart living in the
5G Era.
Therefore, the theme of WI-IAT '21 will be
“Web
Intelligence = AI in the Connected World”.
After the great
successful online WI-IAT'20 during the global pandemic,
WI-IAT'21 will
be held in Melbourne, Australia, celebrating its 20th anniversary,
as a hybrid
conference with both online and offline modes.
WI-IAT '21
welcomes research, application as well as Industry/Demo track paper
submissions in these
core thematic pillars under wider topics, which demand
WI innovative
and disruptive solutions for any of the next indicative sub-topics.
