As the 11th event in the increasingly popular series, WAIM 2010 expects to attract outstanding researchers from all over the world to Jiuzhaigou - the world famous beautiful nature reserve in China, and continues to establish the status of WAIM as one of the major conferences on Web-based information systems. We invite proposals for WAIM'2010 workshops. Workshops are intended to provide a forum for the discussion and exchange of research results related to the conference topics among an international group of researchers. Workshop duration is either a whole day or a half day. Proposals to organize workshops should include the following information: * workshop title, brief description about the workshop, including a list of topics * why the proposed workshop is of interest to the WAIM'10 attendees * names and contact information of the proposers * names of a tentative list of PC members for the workshop * the length (a half day or a whole day) and the format of the workshop * important dates * the expected number of attendees * a brief introduction of the proposers, including their qualifications The workshop proposers will be responsible for advertising the workshop, reviewing and selecting the papers. WAIM'10 has a single registration for conferences, workshops and tutorials, and provides administrative support for workshop room booking, registration, and publication. All papers accepted by WAIM'10 workshops will be published in a combined volume of Lecturer Notes in Computer Science series published by Springer (pending for approval). Since the final workshop proceedings may take 9 to 10 weeks for the publisher to print and deliver, the workshop proposers should take this into consideration when defining the important dates. Proposals should be sent as e-mail attachments to both of the workshops chairs by November 1, 2009. Enquiries can also be sent to the workshops chairs.
