CALL FOR PANEL PROPOSALS
++++++++++++++++++++++++

Panel submissions are invited for WI-IAT 2015. Web Intelligence (WI'15)
will provide a leading international forum for researchers and
practitioners interested in exploring the fundamental roles as well as
practical impacts of Artificial Intelligence (AI) (e.g., knowledge
representation, planning, knowledge discovery and data mining, intelligent
agents, and social network intelligence) on the next generation of Web-
empowered products, systems, services, and activities. Intelligent Agent
Technology 2015 (IAT'15) will provide a leading international forum to
bring together researchers and practitioners from diverse fields, such as
computer science, information technology, business, education, human
factors, systems engineering, and robotics, to examine the design
principles and performance characteristics of various approaches in
intelligent agent technology.

The panels shall offer an interactive forum that engages panelists and the
audience in lively discussion of important and often controversial issues.
Panels should be lively, interactive, informative and relevant. Panels
should not be a set of independent talks. The panel chair should
facilitate discussion. For example, the chair may challenge panelists with
questions after short opening statements.

All inquiries and submission of panel proposals should be addressed to the
Panel Chairs via e-mail.
