=================================================================

As the Web has become a major source of information, techniques and
methodologies to extract quality information is of paramount importance
for many Web applications and users. Data mining and knowledge discovery
play key roles in many of today's prominent Web applications such as
e-commerce and computer security. The MAW-09 Symposium aims to bring
together scientists, engineers, and practitioners to discuss, exchange
ideas, and present their research on mining the Web.

Topics of interest that MAW-09 covers include general mining techniques
and methodologies, as well as their application to the Web (but are not
limited to):
* Text, Data, and Media Mining
* Natural Language Processing
* Information Retrieval and Knowledge Discovery
* Social Networks and On-Line Communities
* Information Categorisation, Clustering, and Fusion
* Web Search, Ranking and Optimisation
* Collaborative Filtering, Personalisation and Recommender Systems *
Semantic Web and Ontology
* Cyber Security, Privacy, and Trust
* e-Technology, e-Government, and e-Learning
* Wikis and Blogs Mining
* Web and Business Intelligence
* Web Evolution and Analytics
