AIM & SCOPE
==========================
The 3-rd International Conference on on Emerging Intelligent Data and Web Technologies (EIDWT-2012) 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-2012 will discuss advances about utilizing and exploiting data generated from emerging data technologies such as Data Centers, Data Grids, Clouds, Crowds, Mashups, Mobile Networks, 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-2012 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-2012 aims to provide a forum for original discussion and prompt future directions in the area.

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, Mobile and Pervasive Computing.

EIDWT-2012 is aiming at delivering a forum for in-depth scientific discussions amongst the communities leading to significant contributions in areas such as:

• Critical Reviews on Theory and Practices in Collective Intelligence
• User Communities/Virtual Organizational Structures and Dynamics
• Ad-Hoc Social Networking Analysis, Business Intelligence
• Self-organizing Systems and Networks
• Self-adaptive Ant Colony, Swarm and Evolutionary Agents
• Data/Text Mining, Reality Mining, Data Clustering, Graph Partitioning
• Group-ware, Social Networks (Web 2.0)
• Ontology Management, Semantic Web, Web Services, Multi-Agents
• Meta-Data, Annotation, Intra-/Inter Tagging, Inference Engines, Reasoning
• Architectures, Discovery, Retrieval, Scheduling, Allocation, Monitoring
• Enabling Technologies (Grids, P2P, Cloud, Crowds, Mash-ups, etc)
• Data Management, Data Growth, Storage, Implications
• Web and Ubiquitous Intelligence, Reality Mining
• Security, Trust and Reputation, Identity Management and Privacy
• Languages, Components, Programs, Knowledge Portals and/or Applications
• Developments or future concepts and frameworks in various settings including (but not limited to) construction industry, transportation and other control systems, sensors, smart spaces, disaster management and threat detection, bioinformatics, environmental control, energy consumption control, business, economics, supply-chain management, planning and operations, etc.
