Abstract

  The notion of Web Intelligence (WI) was first introduced in 2000. Since then, WI has become a fast growing research field, which concerns scientific research and development to explore the fundamental roles as well as practical impacts of both classic and contemporary Artificial Intelligence (AI) and advanced Information Technology (IT) on the next-generation, Web-empowered systems, services, and environments. WI is aimed at producing theories and technologies that will enable us to optimally utilize the global connectivity, as offered by the Web infrastructure, in life, work, and play. This talk will provide new perspectives on the future WI research and at the same time highlight some of the major research challenges and initiatives.


Biography

  Professor Liu is one of the people who originally coined the term `Web Intelligence’ (i.e., WI) back in 2000, and have since then contributed to various literatures on this topic, as well as WI-related activities (e.g., establishing the Web Intelligence Consortium (WIC), and the IEEE/WIC/ACM International Conferences on Web Intelligence (WI) and on Intelligent Agent Technology (IAT)).

  Professor Liu has published extensively in the fields of Robotics and AI, Autonomous Agents and Multi-Agent Systems, Autonomy-Oriented Self-Organization, and Web Intelligence, with over 150 published articles, 6 published monograph books, and 12 edited books and proceedings. He is presently serving as the Editor-in-Chief for “Web Intelligence and Agent Systems: An International Journal”, “Annual Review of Intelligent Informatics”, and “The IEEE Computational Intelligence Bulletin”.

  Professor Liu obtained his Bachelor degree from East China Normal University in Shanghai, Master of Arts degree from Concordia University in Montreal, and Master of Engineering and Ph.D. degrees both in Electrical and Computer Engineering from McGill University in Montreal.

  At the moment, Professor Liu is the Head of Computer Science Department at Hong Kong Baptist University.
