The World Wide Web and Web technology have had a great impact on computer and computing sciences research and education, as well as on society as a whole, particularly with the development of technologies, such as Web search and data mining, ontology and semantic Web, collective intelligence and social computing, media computing, cloud computing, and service computing. Web technology has also provided an infrastructure to promote international research and education collaboration.

 

The Association of East Asian Research Universities (AEARU) Web Technology and Computer Science Workshop is a forum for researchers from major universities in East Asia to present and exchange recent research results and report their educational activities related to Web technology and computer science.

 

The 9^th AEARU Web Technology and Computer Science Workshop will be held at Kyoto University, on January 17–18, 2011, and will focus on cloud computing and the search for knowledge. The topics of the workshop include, but are not limited to the following:

 

1) Web search and data mining

2) Web intelligence and social computing

3) Service computing, cloud computing and computing science

4) Multimedia technology on the Web

5) Use of Web technology and cloud computing for educational purposes

 

The workshop will be held in collaboration with the Kyoto University Global Center of Excellence (GCOE) Program on Informatics Education and Research Center for a Knowledge-Circulating Society.
