Special Track on Innovative Web Technologies
The rapid convergence of Artificial Intelligence, semantic technologies, and Web information systems is reshaping how knowledge is represented, discovered, and exploited across the Web. From autonomous agents and large language models to knowledge graphs and human-centered intelligent interfaces, the boundaries between Web engineering, machine intelligence, and knowledge management are becoming increasingly intertwined.
This Special Track, hosted within WISE 2026, provides a dedicated forum for researchers, practitioners, and industry professionals to present and discuss state-of-the-art advances at the intersection of Web intelligence, semantic technologies, and AI-enabled systems. Contributions addressing theoretical foundations, system design, experimental evaluation, or real-world deployment are all welcome.
The Special Track welcomes original and unpublished contributions covering, but not limited to, the following topics:
Web Intelligence & Agentic AI
- Autonomous agents and LLMs operating on the Web
- AI-driven Web personalization, recommendation, and adaptation
- Social media intelligence, opinion mining, and sentiment analysis
