The Web is the nervous system of information society. As such, it
has a pervasive influence on our daily lives. And yet, in some ways
the Web does not have a high MIQ (Machine IQ). What can be done to
enhance it? This is the leitmotif of "Intelligent Exploration of
the Web," (lEW)--a collection of articles co-edited by Drs.
Szczepaniak, Segovia, Kacprzyk and, to a small degree, myself. The
articles that comprise lEW address many basic problems ranging from
structure analysis of Internet documents and Web dialogue
management to intelligent Web agents for extraction of information,
and bootstrapping an ontology-based information extraction system.
Among the basic problems, one that stands out in importance is the
problem of search. Existing search engines have many remarkable
capabilities. But what is not among them is the deduction
capability--the capability to answer a query by drawing on
information which resides in various parts of the knowledge base.
An example of a query might be "How many Ph.D. degrees in computer
science were granted by European universities in 1996?" No existing
search engine is capable of dealing with queries of comparable or
even much lower complexity. Basically, what we would like to do is
to add deduction capability to a search engine, with the aim of
transforming it into a question-answering system, or a QI A system,
for short. This is a problem that is of major importance and a
challenge that is hard to meet.
This book covers significant recent developments in the field of
Intelligent Meth ods applied to eCommerce. The Intelligent Methods
considered are mainly Soft Computing Methods that include fuzzy
sets, rough sets, neural networks, evolutionary computations,
probabilistic and evidential reasoning, multivalued logic, and
related fields. There is not doubt about the relevance of eCommerce
in our daily environ ments and in the work carried out at many
research centers throughout the world. The application of AI to
Commerce is growing as fast as the computers and net works are
being integrated in all business and commerce aspects. We felt that
it was time to sit down and see how was the impact into that field
of low-level AI, i.e. softcomputing. We found many scattered
contributions disseminated in con ferences, workshops, journal,
books or even technical reports, but nothing like a common
framework that could serve as a basis for further research,
comparison or even prototyping for a direct transfer to the
industry. We felt then the need to set up a reference point, a book
like this. We planned this book as a recompilation of the newest
developments of re searchers who already made some contribution
into the field. The authors were se lected based on the originality
and quality of their work and its relevance to the field. Authors
came from prestigious universities and research centers with differ
ent backgrounds."

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the First International Atlantic Web Intelligence Conference, AWIC 2003, held in Madrid, Spain in May 2003. The 32 revised full papers presented together with 3 invited papers were carefully reviewed and selected from 70 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on general issues in Web intelligence, Web security, semantic Web, Web authoring and design, Web information retrieval, agents for the Web, and user behavior.
