Scope:
The purpose of the 13th International Conference on Web Information Systems and Technologies (WEBIST) is to bring together researchers, engineers and practitioners interested in the technological advances and business applications of web-based information systems. The conference has five main tracks, covering different aspects of Web Information Systems, namely Internet Technology, Web Interfaces and Applications, Society, e-Communities, e-Business, Web Intelligence and Mobile Information Systems.

WEBIST 2017 will be held in conjunction with GISTAM 2017 and ICEIS 2017.
Registration to WEBIST allows free access to the GISTAM and ICEIS conferences (as a non-speaker).
