SCOPE
In the growing field of artificial intelligence, we are witnessing on one hand the great developments in problem solving, machine learning, knowledge representation, automated reasoning, artificial vision, human machine interaction and web intelligence and on the other hand the emergence of new directions and challenges such as brain informatics, social network intelligence and cloud computing.

Within this new and rich context of AI engineering, the Laboratory of Research in AI (LRIA) of the University of Science and Technology Houari Boumediene in Algiers (USTHB Algeria) and the Laboratory for Foundations of Computer Science (LIFL) of the University of Science and Technology of Lille 1 (USTL France) organize the first International Conference on Machine and Web Intelligence (ICMWI 2010) which will be held in Algiers on October 3-5, 2010. ICMWI 2010 will focus on all theoretical and practical aspects of machine intelligence and their fundamental interaction with the web. It is hence dedicated to bring together scientists from all over the world to share and exchange knowledge, experience and most recent developments and research in machine and web intelligence. Original submissions are welcome from all areas of contemporary AI. These include, but are not limited to, the following areas:

Machine intelligence: Agents and Multi-agent Systems, Reasoning under Uncertainty, Cognitive Modeling and Interaction, Constraints Satisfaction and Search, Knowledge Representation and Reasoning, Machine Learning, Knowledge discovery and data mining, Nature and bio-Inspired Computing, Natural Language Processing, Planning and Scheduling, Vision, Image Analysis and Robotics, Pattern Recognition, Ambient Intelligence, Qualitative and temporal reasoning, All languages and environments, Information Retrieval and Filtering, Meta-heuristics and Evolutionary computation, Brain Informatics, Semantics and Ontology Engineering.

Web Intelligence: Intelligent Human-Web Interaction, Web Information Filtering & Retrieval, Electronic Commerce, Conversational Systems, Browsing and Exploration, Adaptive Web, User Profiling/Clustering, Negotiation Systems, Security, Privacy and Trust, Web Mining and Farming, Social Networks Mining, Intelligent e-Technology, Semantic Web, Web Agents, Knowledge Grids & Grid Intelligence, Grid Computing, Cloud Computing, Web Services, Search in Networks.


PAPER SUBMISSION
Submission of papers for IEEE ICMWI 2010 will be managed via the EasyChair system. Detailed instructions are available on the conference website. All papers submitted to ICMWI 2010 will be reviewed by three reviewers and evaluated on the basis of relevance, significance of contribution, and technical and presentation qualities. Accepted papers will be published in the conference proceedings.
