Description

Today, in the middle of the ?rst decade of the 21st century, the Internet has become a major communication medium, where virtually any kind of content can be transferred instantly and reliably between individual users and entire - ganizations located in any part of the globe. The World Wide Web (WWW) has a tremendous e?ect on our daily activities at work and at home. Consequently, more e?ective and e?cient methods and technologies are needed to make the most of the Web s nearly unlimited potential. The new Web-related research directions include intelligent methods usually associated with the ?elds of c- putational intelligence, soft computing, and data mining. AWIC, the Atlantic Web Intelligence Conferences continue to be a forum for exchange of new ideas and novel practical solutions in this new and exciting area. The conference was born as an initiative of the WIC-Poland and the WIC- Spain Research Centers, both belonging to the Web Intelligence Consortium WIC (http: //wi-consortium.org/). Prior to this year, three AWIC conferences have been held: in Madrid, Spain (2003), in Cancun, Mexico (2004), and in L od z, Poland (2005). AWIC 2006 took place in Beer-Sheva, Israel during June 5 7, 2006, organized locally by Ben-Gurion University of the Negev. The book presents state-of-the-art developments in the ?eld of computati- ally intelligent methods applied to various aspects and ways of Web exploration."
