Comeutational Web Intelligence

Abstract

With explosive growth of data on wired and wireless networks, a significant need exists for a new generation of Web techniques with the ability to intelligently assist users in finding useful Web information and making smart Web decisions. Clearly, the future trend of the Web technology is from the bottom-level data oriented Web to the low-level information oriented Web, then to the middle-level knowledge oriented Web, and finally to the high-level intelligence oriented Web. Thus, it is urgent to develop new intelligent Web techniques for Web applications on wired and wireless networks. Web Intelligence (WI), a new direction for scientific research and development, was introduced at the 24th IEEE Computer Society International Computer Software and Applications Conference in 2000. WI exploits Artificial Intelligence (AI) and advanced Information Technology (IT) on the Web and Internet. In general, AI-based Web techniques can improve Web QoI (Quality of Intelligence).
