A number of initiatives have been adopted by the world communities in this areaofstudy.Theseincludebooks,conferenceseries,andjournals.Thislatest book encomposes a variaty of up to date state of the art approaches in Web Intelligence. Furthermore, it hightlights successful applications in this area of research within a practical context. The present book aims to introduce a selection of research applications in the area of Web Intelligence.
We have selected a number of researchers around the world, all of which are experts in their respective research areas. Each chapter focuses on a speci?c topic in the ?eld of Web Intelligence.
