The Web provides a new medium for storing, presenting, gathering, sharing, processing and using information. The impacts of the Web can be felt in almost all aspects of life. Web Intelligence is a sub-field of computer science that tries to meet the challenges and take advantages of the opportunities offered by the Web. The workshop aims to a particular field of Web Intelligence by providing a forum for the discussion and exchange of ideas and information by researchers, students, and professionals on the issues and challenges brought on by the Web technology for various support systems. One of our goals is to find out how applications and adaptations of existing methodologies on the Web platform benefit our decision-makings and various activities.
