Abstract

Emphasize the use of Artificial Intelligence methods and tools in the context of distributed information network like the World Wide Web in order to:
* build intelligent assistants and information agents
* gather distributed information
* discover new network services
* index and manage huge information databases
* help users to navigate on the web
* filter flow of information
* anticipate the needs of an user
* personalize service to users according to their preferences
* work cooperatively

Concerned methods and techniques: (this list is not exhaustive)

* intelligent sotfware agents
* knowledge representation
* knowledge acquisition
* ontologies
* case-based reasoning
* machine learning
* data mining
* linguistics tools
* information retrieval tools
* integration and cooperation beetween multiple AI tools

Specific goals and results expected:

* To clarify the realistic contributions of AI to build next generation mediators between users and the distributed knowledge in the world-wide network
* To evidence the interest of WWW area as application field of some mature AI results

Position papers

The goal of the workshop is to maximize discussion and ideas share. In order to do that, the workshop will heavily rely on the previous use of a WWW information system: on line HTML papers, communication and commentary beetwen participants, ...
