Conference Purpose and Scope WIMS is a series of peer-reviewed International Computer Science conferences. It is a forum for researchers and practitioners to present the= ir state-of-the-art results in building Intelligent Web, to examine performance characteristics of various approaches in Web-based intelligent information technology, and to cross-fertilize their ideas on the development of Web -based intelligent information management solutions across different domains. The purpose of the WIMS series is to: * Provide a forum for established researchers and practitioners to present their contributions to the state of the art research and development in Web technology and applications. * Give doctoral students an opportunity to present their research to a frie= ndly and knowledgeable audience and receive valuable feedback. * Provide an informal social event where Web technology researchers and practitioners can meet. WIMS traditionally hosts a small number of short tutorials on the topics related to the scope of the conference series. The role of a WIMS tutorial = is to be a theme-oriented comprehensive survey. The call for WIMS 2015 tutorials is published separately. WIMS also offers its infrastructure and facilities for the organizers of sa= tellite workshops that complement the scope of the conference. The call for WIMS 2015 workshops is also published separately. Companies or individuals interested in presenting their industrial products= or methodologies are invited to contact the conference chairs. Keynote Speakers * Dr. Diana Mayfield, University of Sheffield, UK "What you Tweet is What You Get: challenges and opportunities for social = media analysis in industry". * Professor Nikolay Mehandjiev, University of Manchester, UK "Understanding the Tribal Web".
