About this book

This book is the first coherently written multi-author monograph on Web Intelli­ gence (WI). It offers a thorough introduction and a systematic overview of the new field. It reflects the current state of the research and development in various areas of WI, as well as theoretical and application aspects of WI and Web-based intelligent information systems and services. It highlights several promising WI topics, which will impact on the development of the ultimate Wisdom Web. The book contains one introductory paper and 19 survey/research papers. The papers are structured into six parts: Web agents, Web mining and farming, Web information retrieval, Web knowledge management, the infrastructure for Web in­ telligent systems, and social network intelligence. We conceived and coined the notion Web Intelligence in late 1999. Back then although there was a variety of Web- or Internet-related conferences, journals, and books, none was devoted to the intelligence aspects of Web information systems and services. It was felt that there was a need for a conference, a journal, and/or books for researchers, scientists, and industry practitioners who wanted to publish and exchange ideas on Web Intelligence. At the 24th Annual International Computer Software and Applications Confer­ ence (IEEE COMPSAC) in 2000, we first introduced Web Intelligence. In 2001, the first Web Intelligence conference (WI 2001, http://kis.maebashi-it.ac.jp/wiOll) was successfully held in Maebashi, Japan.

Reviews

From the reviews:

"The book deals with … problems of web distributed intelligence. This book is the first coherently written multi-author monograph on Web Intelligence (WI). It offers a thorough introduction and systematic overview of the new fields. … This monograph is recommended by the WIC as the first book on WI research. … The book is a valuable and lasting source of reference for researchers and developers interested in WI. Developers and students additionally appreciate numerous illustrations and examples." (Ing. Jaroslav Veselý, Neural Network World, Vol. 14 (6), 2004)

"The book studies both the intelligent method of Web use and the intelligent Web services and the Infrastructure. … This interesting book will be useful not only for Web theorists, scientists and pioneers, but it gives a comprehensive look at today’s research direction. From this viewpoint it can be interesting for many practitioners. … the book brings useful information also for scientists in many different fields, especially for robotics and design theories." (Tomas Brandejsky, Neural Network World, Vol. 13 (6), 2003)
