                WIMS is a series of peer-reviewed International Computer
                Science<br>
                conferences. It is a forum for researchers and
                practitioners to present their<br>
                state-of-the-art results in building Intelligent Web, to
                examine performance<br>
                characteristics of various approaches in Web-based
                intelligent information<br>
                technology, and to cross-fertilize their ideas on the
                development of Web<br>
                -based intelligent information management solutions
                across different<br>
                domains.<br>
                <br>
                The purpose of the WIMS series is to: <br>
                <br>
                * Provide a forum for established researchers and
                practitioners to present<br>
                their contributions to the state of the art research and
                development in Web<br>
                technology and applications.<br>
                <br>
                * Give doctoral students an opportunity to present their
                research to a friendly<br>
                and knowledgeable audience and receive valuable
                feedback.<br>

                iv. Posters<br>
                <br>
                The papers in all the categories should describe
                original results that have not<br>
                been accepted or submitted for publication elsewhere.
                All submissions will be<br>
                evaluated by at least three members of the international
                program committee.<br>
                <br>
                <u>Regular Research Papers<br>
                </u><br>
                The papers in this category are the reports on
                accomplished research work or<br>
                in-depth discussions and analysis of a certain problem.
                The first type of<br>
                papers can present a novel method, technique or analysis
                with appropriate<br>
                empirical or other type of evaluation as a proof of
                validity. The main<br>
                evaluation criteria for this category are originality,
                technical soundness, and<br>
                the soundness of evaluation. For the second type within
                the genre we expect<br>
                receiving reasonable overviews placing a problem onto
                the state-of-the-art<br>
                landscape and analyzing how far current solutions fall
                short. We also expect<br>
                in-depth discussions and analysis of a certain problem,
                with clear definitions<br>
                and argumentation in terms of qualitative or
                quantitative representation of<br>
                the main characteristics of the problem.<br>
                <br>

                The papers in this category are the short reports of the
                preliminary results or<br>
                describing the work in progress. The main evaluation
                criteria for this category<br>
                are originality, technical correctness, and possible
                value of the planned<br>
                results in a short to mid-term perspective. <br>
                <br>
                Short papers can be also presented in a form of a
                poster.<br>
                <br>

                ongoing research<br>
                activities, and speculative or innovative work in
                progress. This track is<br>
                intended to provide authors and participants with the
