Scope

With the growth of Internet, many on-line information systems are coming up, and the amount of information available makes necessary the development and use of effective Information Access Systems (IASs) that allow user easy and flexible access to quality and relevant information.

Soft Computing (SC) constitutes a synergy of methodologies (including fuzzy set theory, neural networks, probabilistic reasoning, rought-sets, evolutionary computing and some approaches of machine learning) which are useful for solving problems requiring some form of intelligence. The advantage of using SC is its tolerance to imprecision, uncertainty, partial truth, and approximation. Due to these properties, techniques based on SC are very suitable for modelling the activities related to the information access problem.

The main aim of this session is to serve as a forum to present and discuss new contributions, research efforts and applications on the use of Soft Computing tools to improve the information access processes on the Web.

Topics

We invite prospective authors to submit papers that propose the use of Soft Computing techniques to advance the technology in the field of Information Access on the Web. Original contributions are solicited in the following topics (but are not limited to):

  • Web retrieval
  • E-commerce
  • Recommender systems
  • Digital libraries
  • Web mining
  • Web security
  • Information retrieval
  • Web quality evaluation
  • Text categorization on the Web
  • Semantic Web

Paper Submission

Please follow the instructions given at the corresponding section.
