The workshop organizers will also have the discretion of editing selected papers (after their expansion and revision) into books or special journal issues. Workshops may be full-day or half-day. A full-day workshop should select 12-18 regular papers, while a half-day workshop should select 8-11 regular papers, from a large number of submissions. The workshop organizers should ensure the presence of authors of accepted papers at the workshops.
After the acceptation of a workshop proposal the organizer(s) should:
- Create a "Call for papers/participation" for the workshop
- Create a Web page for the workshop, the link of which will be published on the Conference Web site
- Create a Board of Reviewers (Program Committee)
- Review and select papers
- Schedule the workshop activities
Those papers selected by a workshop organizer will also be reviewed by the Workshop Chairs for final acceptance.

Call for Industry papers / demo
WI/IAT 2010 will expand on the success of the industry track in WI/IAT 2009 into Industry Day with a novel format and program. The Industry Day aims to foster interaction and collaboration among participating practitioners and academics, and to provide practitioners with a venue to showcase practical implementations of state-of-the-art systems in the areas of interest to the WI/IAT community. The Industry Day program will consist of invited speakers, demo presentations, and a panel discussion. Demonstration submissions are welcomed in any of the areas identified in the main call for papers. Demo papers must be submitted in camera-ready format and are limited to 4 pages. They should describe the demonstrated system, indicate what is going to be demonstrated, and state the significance of the contribution to the field of Web Intelligence and Intelligent Agent Technology. Proposals must not be published or under consideration for publication elsewhere.
The submission will undergo peer review. The review process is not double blind. Accepted industry demo papers will be published in the main conference proceedings. At least one author must be affiliated with a company.
Industry Paper Requirement
All areas of the WI/IAT conference are of interest to the industry papers. The paper should be about industrial or other real-world applications of WI/IAT. A description of how the application has been conceived, developed and deployed must be provided. Note that authors who submit papers to the Industry-Track are requested to supply a demo in the demo session. The authors are also required to show the demo in the demo session.
The industry papers will be 4 pages in length including the bibliography, and must be submitted online at the conference websites. The submission must satisfy the style requirement as specified in the call for papers in the main conference. At least one author of each Industry-Track paper should be from an industrial company or organization.
The papers must indicate which track (WI or IAT) the authors would like to include their papers. All papers submitted to the Industry/Demo-Track will also be reviewed by the Program Committee and included in the conference proceedings by the IEEE Computer Society Press.
