*Special Issue: 20 Years of Web Intelligence*

https://www.iospress.com/catalog/journals/web-intelligence


The Web Intelligence (WI) journal celebrates its 20th anniversary (2022)
and

the Web Intelligence and Intelligence Agent Technology (WI-IAT) conference
celebrates its 20th anniversary as well (2021).

We will recognize the anniversary year of Web Intelligence journal with a
special issue aimed at an in-depth review of our research field and a
visionary exploration of its future prospects.


WI is a dynamic field with flourishment over the past 20 years. WI has
always been closely entwined with, and contributed to, all the latest
developments in AI, especially for the future of the highly connected
world, which makes use of the power of human ingenuity and man-made
networks to create a better world. We continually promote the key theme: *WI
= AI in the Connected World*, the field of exploring how advanced
intelligence impacts the Web of People, Web of Trust, Web of Things, Web of
Data, Web of Agents, and emerging Web in health and smart living in the 5G
Era.

While WI further evolves, many new ideas, methodologies, and techniques
will continue to emerge with the contributions of all the researchers in
the field.

We therefore launch an open call for:

A)        In-depth state-of-the-art papers focusing on current progress and
challenges on AI in the connected world;

B)        Broad survey papers focusing on important applications of WI,
aimed at assessing the effectiveness of WI-based techniques and/or
methodologies;

C)        Visionary papers addressing the future of WI-based systems and
the impact of WI on technology and society;

D)        Short position papers on matters in general interest of the broad
WI community.


All papers will undergo a fast-track peer-review process, adhering to our
usual quality standards. The five best papers falling into Categories A, B,
and C above will be published in volume 20, issue 4 of Web Intelligence,
together with the most relevant position papers in Category D. Space will
be reserved in subsequent issues of the journal for any remaining papers
considered to be suitable for publication. The best papers will be awarded
with “Best Article in WI 20Y Anniversary” and the authors will be invited
to deliver keynote talks on the work in the WI-IAT 2022 conference (
https://www.wi-iat.com/wi-iat2022/). Only *Categories A-B-C *papers
submitted by *August 1st, 2022 *will be considered for the award (papers
received after this deadline may still be considered for the special issue
or for the subsequent issues, but not for the award). Category D *position
papers *should be submitted by *October 1st, 2022.*


Submission Instructions:

Authors are requested to submit their articles electronically following the
instructions on https://www.editorialmanager.com/wi/default1.aspx. Authors
should clearly specify in the cover letter that their paper is submitted to
