The Second International Workshop on Web-based Support Systems

http://www2.cs.uregina.ca/~wss/wss04/

September 20, 2004, Beijing, China

In conjunction with the 2004 IEEE/WIC/ACM International Conference on Web Intelligence

http://www.maebashi-it.org/WI04/index1.php

and

International Conference on Intelligent Agent Technology

http://www.maebashi-it.org/IAT04/index1.php

 

Following the success of the first workshop on Web-based support systems held in Halifax, Canada on October 13, 2003, a second workshop has been planned in Beijing, China on September 20, 2004. This workshop will provide 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.

 

Submissions on all aspects of Web-based support systems are solicited. Descriptions of work in progress are also welcome. Some suggested, but not limited, topics for the workshop include:
