==============
Aims and Scope
==============

The 2-nd International Conference on Emerging Intelligent Data and Web Technologies (EIDWT-2011) is 
dedicated to the dissemination of original contributions that are related to the theories, practices 
and concepts of emerging data technologies yet most importantly of their applicability in business 
and academia towards a collective intelligence approach. In particular, EIDWT-2011 will discuss 
advances about utilizing and exploiting data generated from emerging data technologies such as 
Data Centers, Data Grids, Clouds, Crowds, Mashups, Social Networks and/or other Web 2.0 
implementations towards a collaborative and collective intelligence approach leading to advancements 
of virtual organizations and their user communities. This is because, current and future Web and Web 2.0 
implementations will store and continuously produce a vast amount of data, which if combined and 
analyzed through a collective intelligence manner will make a difference in the organizational 
settings and their user communities. Thus, the scope of EIDWT-2011 is to discuss methods and 
practices (including P2P) which bring various emerging data technologies together to capture, 
integrate, analyze, mine, annotate and visualize data - made available from various community 
users - in a meaningful and collaborative for the organization manner. Finally, EIDWT-2011 aims 
to provide a forum for original discussion and prompt future directions in the area.

Topics:

Papers should be focused on past, current and emerging methods and/or use of data technologies 
with a particular focus to collective intelligence. For example: Data Stream, Click stream, 
Cloud Computing, Crowd Computing, Data Annotation, Data Architecture, Data Capture, Data 
Clustering/Partitioning, Data Discovery/Management, Data Grids, Data Integration, Data Management 
and Knowledge Engineering, Data Mashups, Data Query Systems and Languages, Data Push/Notification, 
Data Scheduling, Data/Text Mining, P2P, Reality Mining, Data Visualization, Emerging Applications, 
Emerging/Enabling Collaborative Data Technologies, Trust and Security, Web Science, Web 2.0, 
Ubiquitus Intelligence.
