W1:International Workshop on Web Security, Integrity, Privacy, and Trust
Scope/Topic :
The purpose of the workshop is to bring together researchers, engineers, and practitioners interested in Web Intelligence (WI) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) and to discuss the latest advanced technologies in the Internet field with focus on Web security, integrity, privacy, and trust.
The Web has tremendously revolutionized the way we gather, process, and use information. At the same time, it had redefined the meanings of several aspects related to day-to-day businesses such as marketing, finance, education, etc. This workshop is expected to stimulate discussions about the future development of appropriate models, methods, and tools for building a variety of Web-based intelligent information systems. However these models, methods, and tools need to take into account security, integrity, privacy, and trust challenges that are put on these systems.
High quality papers in Web Security, Integrity, Privacy and Trust are solicited. Papers describing new methods or technologies, advanced prototypes, systems, tools and techniques and general survey papers indicating future directions are also encouraged. Acceptance will be based on quality, relevance, and originality. Both full research reports and work-in-progress reports are welcome. There will be both oral and poster sessions.
Workshop Theme and Topics
The workshop welcomes papers addressing research and case studies in relation to some of the following topics:
Use of artificial intelligence techniques in Web security
Trust and negotiation for Web users and Web agents
Privacy-preserving Web mining
Privacy-preservation in Web applications
Deception and intent detection on the Web
Web authentication
Web integrity analysis
Authentication and authorization for Web Services

The objective of the proposed WSIPT'09 workshop is to provide a forum for researchers and practitioners to exchange new ideas, developments, and experiences on the issues related to WI and AI. Discussions will focus on where the state of the art is, where the challenges lie, and what practices are needed to enable and sustain a bright future. The anticipated outcome of the workshop is to assess and discuss the approaches and evaluate critically the next steps in pursuing the topics in this area. There is a great opportunity of creating the core of a consortium for future R&D projects that academia and industry bodies could initiate. Furthermore, the results of this workshop will contribute significantly in recognizing the importance of how WI and AI could foster the development of other fields such as Web services.

W6: Financial Data Mining (FDM09)
Scope/Topic :
Almost every computational method has been explored and used for financial modeling. However, how to apply the recent developed data mining theories to financial data mining, further how to deal with the large-scale financial data remains largely an open problem. Recently, more and more researchers in the community recognize the importance of the issue and seriously seek solutions. Unlike the other workshops which focus primarily on the algorithmic aspects, the intent of this workshop is to bridge the academia and industrial researchers to share their study and experience on financial data mining algorithms, theory and applications.
Description of the workshop topic and the associated research issues
With the rapid globalization of the financial market, there has been an increasing demand for using data mining techniques in many core financial tasks, such as stock market forecasting, currency exchange rate, bank bankruptcies, financial risk management, credit rating, loan management, bank customer profiling, and money laundering. Nevertheless, the traditional data mining methods are far from practical uses for scenarios in financial data mining; it is not clear how the quickly emerging mining techniques can be used to improve the quality of financial data mining. Therefore, it is necessary to conduct a thorough investigation of the financial data mining problem and understand what the fundamental theoretical problem is in the financial mining.
In this workshop, we are interested in studying novel data mining technologies on financial data to make contributions for uncovering potential risks and predict future trends in financial markets. We are looking forward to high quality papers including theoretical research, empirical research and survey submissions. We will offer a chance for researchers and engineers to share information, their ideas and results on the latest explorations of FDM and forming collaborations for future works.
Topics of interest, but not limited to, are as follows:
1) Data Mining in the current Financial Crises;
2) Data Preprocessing in FDM;
3) Association Rule based on Financial Data;
4) Supervised Learning Models/Methods in FDM;
5) Unsupervised Learning Models/Methods in FDM;
6) Time Series Data Analysis;
7) Outlier Detection in FDM;
8) Neural Networks, Decision Tree and Support Vector Machine in FDM;
9) Data Mining based Stock Price Forecasting Model;
10) Data Mining based Finance Risks Forecasting Model;
11) Data Mining based Finance Fraud Detection Model;
12) Financial Privacy Preserving Data Mining;
13) Matrix Factorization based Learning Model, including Principle Component Analysis, Singular Value Decomposition, Nonnegative Matrix Factorization, Probabilistic Latent Semantic Indexing, in FDM;
14) Text Mining in FDM.

W7: The First International Workshop on Semantic P2P Networks(SP2PN)
Scope/Topic :
Although client/server technology has been successful in many IT fields, it has many shortcomings. P2P technology is now considered as the next generation computing model. The P2P technologies are used in file sharing applications in the beginning to various general-purpose applications today. There are mainly two types of P2P technologies. The unstructured approach routes nodes by a ??looding??lgorithm. The structured approach is mostly based on Distributed Hash Table (DHT) technologies. However, these two kinds of P2P approaches do not care about the semantic meaning of the nodes. They do not care about the nodes whose users may take different roles in social groups in the communities.
This workshop aims to address the need for more research into the theory and applicability of semantic P2P networks. Areas of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Search mechanisms and heuristics for computational resources based on semantic P2P network
- Service discovery & utilization based on semantic P2P network
- Semantic P2P models of deployment and management of Web Services
- Semantic P2P storage systems
- Semantic computational sharing and cloud computing over P2P networks
- Semantic Peer-to-Peer workflow management systems
- Overlay self-organisation and management
- Semantic computational P2P networks
- Semantic P2P networks for scientific workflow
- Semantic P2P systems related to social science
