Web Intelligence and Agent Systems: An International Journal (WIAS) is an official journal of Web Intelligence Consortium (WIC, homepage: http://wi-consortium.org/), an international organization dedicated to promoting collaborative scientific research and industrial development in the era of Web and agent intelligence. WIAS seeks to collaborate with major societies and international conferences in the fields. Presently, it has established a tie with the IEEE/WIC International Conference on Web Intelligence and the IEEE/WIC International Conference on Intelligent Agent Technology.

WIAS is a peer-reviewed journal, which publishes 4 issues a year, in both electronic and hard copies.

WIAS aims to achieve a disciplinary balance between Web technology and intelligent agent technology. It is committed to deepening the understanding of computational, logical, cognitive, physical, and social foundations as well as the enabling technologies for developing and applying Web-based intelligence and autonomous agents systems.

The journal features high-quality, original research papers (including state-of-the-art reviews), brief papers, and letters in all theoretical and technology areas that make up the field of WIAS. The papers should clearly focus on some of the following areas of interest:

o Agent infrastructure and architecture o Agent self-organization, learning, and adaptation o Agent-based knowledge discovery o Agent-mediated markets o Autonomy-oriented or autonomic computing o Cooperative problem solving o Distributed intelligence and emergent behavior o Emerging agent-based, Web-based systems and computing paradigms o Evaluation and standards for agent-based Web intelligence technologies o Grid computing technology o Information ecology o Knowledge management, networks, and communities o Mediators and middleware o Ontology engineering o Personalization techniques o Security issues in Web and agent systems o Semantic Web, Web services and interoperability o Ubiquitous computing and social intelligence o Web information filtering and retrieval o Web mining and farming o Wisdom Web

WIAS Paper Submission Guidelines

Authors are invited to submit complete and original papers, which have not been published elsewhere and are not currently under consideration for another journal or conference.

Each manuscript prepared for WIAS must fall into one of the following categories:

(1) Original research papers

Articles will be full-length papers (approximately 20 journal pages) reporting well-defined theoretical results and empirical studies that have potential impact on understanding of computational, logical, cognitive, physical, and social foundations, as well as the enabling technologies for developing and applying Web-based intelligence and autonomous agents systems. It is assumed that the ideas presented are important, have been well analyzed or empirically validated, and are of value to Web and agent intelligence research community.

(2) State-of-the-art reviews

Articles can also be state-of-the-art reviews, which will be either perspective tutorial articles in rapidly evolving fields or comprehensive scholarly reviews of significant topics.

(3) Brief papers

A brief paper presents results that are important and original and are presented in concise form.

(4) Letters

A letter is used to convey only a few principal ideas or to comment on work previously published in the WIAS.

The manuscripts submitted to WIAS are subjected to a rigorous review process handled by the Editors-in-Chief and designated Editorial Board Member(s).

All manuscripts for consideration must be submitted electronically through an Electronic Submission Form, available from the Web Intelligence Consortium (WIC) homepage at http://www.wi-consortium.org (under "WIAS journal").

In order to facilitate the review process, authors are required to mark the topics (within the Electronic Submission Form) to which their submissions are most relevant.
