The 3rd International Workshop on
December 18, 2006, Hong Kong
The Workshop proceedings will be published by IEEE
Computer Society Press, to be indexed by EI.
After successful meetings in
Halifax, Canada (2003)
and
Beijing, China (2004), the third International
Workshop on Web-based Support Systems (WSS'06) will
be held in Hong Kong, China on December 18, 2006.
The workshop aims to bring together researchers and
users to share their experiences, vision and
methodologies on Web-based support systems. It 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. Papers from previous
workshops can be found at:
wss'03,
wss'04,
