                          Call for Papers

The 2008 IEEE International Symposium on Mining the Asian Web 
(IEEE MAW-08)
Conference URL: http://www.ece.uvic.ca/MAW08/

In conjunction with AINA 2008
Okinawa, Japan, March 25-28, 2008

======================================================================

In the early days of the World Wide Web, web pages were predominantly 
written in English. As the web has become an indispensable resource to
find information, nowadays many web documents can be found in other 
languages, notably in an Asian language such as Chinese, Japanese or 
Korean. Furthermore, meta-multilingual search is deemed to be a 
promising vehicle to increase the scope and the performance of web 
search. These advances naturally lead to wider research areas, venues, 
and issues. Since most commonly used web search and mining algorithms 
were originally developed for English web documents, these algorithms 
may need to be fine-tuned and modified for other languages. Data 
mining, artificial intelligence and information retrieval techniques 
used in web mining must now consider the linguistic aspects, national 
culture, and the business practices of the respective countries.

======================================================================

IMPORTANT DATES:

- Full Paper submission deadline: October 1, 2007
- Author Notification: November 15, 2007
-  Final camera-ready manuscript: December 21, 2007
   (to be published by the IEEE Computer Society Press)

======================================================================

This symposium aims to bring together scientists, engineers and 
practitioners to discuss and exchange ideas, and present their 
research work in the three categories of web mining: structure, 
content, and usage, with a focus on the Asian Web. Topics of interest
that MAW-08 covers include (but are not limited to):

    * Data mining and information retrieval techniques
    * Natural language processing
    * Knowledge discovery
    * Information fusion in meta-search
    * Text categorization and clustering
    * Multilingual web search
    * Collaborative filtering
    * Email and blog mining
    * Web search optimization
    * Web site ranking
