+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Web has evolved as an omnipresent system which highly impacts science, education, industry and everyday life. Web is now a vast data production and consumption platform at which threads of data evolve from multiple devices, by different human interactions, over worldwide locations under divergent distributed settings. Such a dynamic and complex system demands adaptive intelligent solutions, which will advance knowledge, human interactions and innovation. Web Intelligence and Intelligent Agent Technology (WI-IAT) is now a cutting edge area which aims to achieve a multi-disciplinary balance between research advances in theories and methods usually associated with collective intelligence, data science, human-centric computing, knowledge management, network science, autonomous agents and multi-agent systems. It is committed to addressing research that both deepens the understanding of computational, logical, cognitive, physical, and social foundations of the future Web, and enab!
les the
development and application of intelligent technologies.

The main theme for the WI-IAT '20 is "Web Intelligence = AI in the Connected World".

The 2020 IEEE/WIC/ACM International Joint Conference on Web Intelligence and Intelligent Agent Technology (WI-IAT '20) aims to achieve a multi-disciplinary balance between research and technological disruptive advances in the fields of how intelligence is impacting the Web of People, the Web of Data, the Web of Things, the Web of Trust, and the Web of Health.
WI-IAT '20 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.
