WAIM 2011 - The 12th International Conference on Web-Age Information Management

The 12th International Conference on Web-Age Information Management

WAIM is a leading international conference for researchers, practitioners, developers, and users to share and exchange ideas, results, experience, techniques, and tools in connection with all aspects of Web data management. As the 12th event in the increasingly popular series, WAIM 2011 expects to attract participants from all over the world to Wuhan, China, and continues to establish WAIM as one of the major conferences on Web-based information systems.
The WAIM-11 organization committee invites submissions of technical papers for WAIM-11, to be held in Wuhan, China, Sep. 14-16, 2011. Submissions are invited on all aspects related to Web-age information management. All submissions should be in English. Submission of a paper should be regarded as an undertaking that, should the paper be accepted, at least one author will attend the conference to present the work.
The proceedings of WAIM 2011 will be published by Springer-Verlag in the Lecturer Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) series, one volume for the main conference and one volume for the workshops. Both will be indexed by SCI and EI. A selected number of the accepted papers will be expanded and revised for possible publications in major international journals.
