          IEEE COMPUTER -- Special Issue on WEB INTELLIGENCE

                    (to appear in October 2002)

Guest Editors:  Ning Zhong  (Maebashi Institute of Technology, Japan)

WHAT IS WEB INTELLIGENCE?

   Web Intelligence (WI) is a new direction for scientific research and
   development that explores the fundamental roles as well as practical
   impacts of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and advanced Information
   Technology (IT) on the next generation of Web-empowered products,
   systems, services, and activities.

TOPICS AND ISSUES

   This special issue seeks original, high quality, as well as
   general interest papers in all aspects of Web Intelligence (WI),
   such as Web information systems environments and foundations,
   human-media interaction, Web information management, Web information
   retrieval, Web agents, Web mining and farming, and emerging Web-based
   applications.

   In particular, we are interested in papers on Web agents and Web
   mining -- the two most important WI related topics for both academic
   research and industrial demands.

SUBMISSION GUIDELINES

   All submitted papers should be limited to a maximum of 4,000 words
   (counting figures as 300 words each), and will be reviewed on the
   basis of technical quality, relevance, originality, significance,
   and clarity. Graphical illustrations and minipage summaries are
   encouraged.

   All paper submissions will be handled electronically.  Please send
   PostScript (MS-Words, or PDF) versions of your paper by February 1,
   2002 to:
                       zhong at maebashi-it.ac.jp

IMPORTANT DATES

   February 1, 2002:  Electronic submission of the completed paper
       June 5, 2002:  Notification of acceptance
       July 1, 2002:  Revisions due
       October 2002:  Publication


ABOUT IEEE COMPUTER

   IEEE Computer is a monthly magazine received by all members of The
   IEEE Computer Society, consisting of researchers, practitioners,
   and managers. It is one of the most ideal forums where computing
   professionals of all disciplines can share their experience, solve
   problems, and reach consensus.

ABOUT INTERNATIONAL WEB INTELLIGENCE CONFERENCE

   The 2001 International Conference on Web Intelligence (WI'01) will be
   held in Maebashi City, Japan, October 23-26, 2001.  The WI-2001 is the
   first conference on a new and emerging subfield of computer science
   and IT known as Web Intelligence. It is a major international forum
   for researchers and practitioners to present the state-of-the-art in
   the development of Web intelligence, to examine performance
   characteristics of various approaches in Web-based intelligent
   information technology, and to cross-fertilize ideas and examine various
   approaches as well as promising applications of Web-based intelligent
   information technology.

Submission Guidelines:
- --------------------

Authors are invited to submit substantial, original, and unpublished
research on any issues relevant to machine translation. Papers should
be in English, not longer than 10 pages (around 5,000 words),
including references. Topics of interest include, but are not limited
to:

    MT for the Web
    Practical MT (multilingual eCommerce, localization, etc.)
    Methodologies for MT (statistical, example-based, KBMT, ...)
    Speech and dialogue translation
    NLP techniques for MT
    Controlled language for MT
    Knowledge acquisition for MT systems
    MT evaluation techniques and evaluation results
    MT for cross-lingual retrieval and question answering

Format & Style Files:
- -------------------

Your paper should be prepared according to the following guidelines
(for authors using LaTeX, there is a style file tmi02.cls available,
which comes with a pair of style files for formatting examples,
gb4e.sty and cgloss4e.sty.
See http://sevilla.mt.cs.cmu.edu/TMI2002/cfp.html):

-The font size should be no smaller than 11pt, and the paper size
 should be A4.

-TMI uses an anonymous review process. Therefore, all
 papers should be submitted with a separate author ID page (in a
 separate file) that includes only the title of the paper, the topic
 area, and the author name(s) and address(es). The paper itself should
 begin with the title and an abstract, but should not include the names
 or addresses of the authors.

-Papers should be submitted as .pdf files only. All papers will be
 submitted electronically; authors must first register before uploading
 papers to the program committee database (details coming soon on the
 Author Resource page).  For bibliographic references, if the author's
 name(s) is/are part of the text, then only the date should be in
 brackets. E.g. "Huddleston (1988) introduced the term ...", not
 "(Huddleston 1988) introduced the term ..."

-Make sure your figures are not wider than the text.  Don't forget to
 use italics for cited words, and double quotes for glosses. If you
 cite non-Roman script please cite as follows: NON-EUROPEAN
 transliteration "gloss" (the transliteration should be in italics).
