INTRODUCTION
============

The WI-2001 and IAT-2001 Joint Conference provides an international
forum for sharing original research results and practical development
experiences among researchers and application developers from
different Web Intelligence and Intelligent Agent Technology related
areas.

287 full papers coming from 39 countries and regions of all continents
and touching a wide spectrum of topics related to both theory and
applications were submitted to WI-2001 and IAT-2001.  Out of them 53
papers were selected for regular presentations (20 minutes for each
presentation) and 85 for short presentations (15 minutes for each
presentation).  The WI-2001 and IAT-2001 Joint Conference encourages
both new theory/methodologies and real world applications, and covers
broad and diverse topics in Web Intelligence and Intelligent Agent
Technology.  The technical sessions include: Web Information System
Environment and Foundations; Web Human-Media Engineering; Web
Information Management; Web Information Retrieval; Web Agents; Web
Mining and Farming; Web-Based Applications; Web-Based Active Contents;
Advanced Topics and New Methodologies; Formal Agent Theories; Agent
Computational Architecture and Infrastructure; Agent Learning and
Adaptation; Knowledge Discovery and Data Mining Agents; Distributed
Intelligence; Business Agent Solutions; Agent-Based Applications; as
well as a demos session including about 20 system demos.

The conference program is enriched by two keynote speakers:
Edward A. Feigenbaum and Benjamin Wah, and ten invited speakers:
Nick Cercone, James Hendler, W. Lewis Johnson, Riichiro Mizoguchi,
Prabhakar Raghavan, Patrick S. P. Wang, Toyoaki Nishida,
Zbigniew W. Ras, Andrzej Skowron, and Katia Sycara.

The conference proceedings are published by Springer-Verlag for
WI-2001 and World Scientific for IAT-2001 as books, entitled
"Web Intelligence: Research and Development" (LNAI 2198), and
"Intelligent Agent Technology: Research and Development", respectively.

The conference will organize a tour during the conference to Ikaho hot
spring resort area, which is one of the most famous hot springs areas
in Japan, and have a banquet at Kogure Hotel in Ikaho as well as a
reception at Rinko-kaku that is a traditional Japanese guest house
constructed in 1884.

We are very grateful to the WI-2001 and IAT-2001 sponsors: ACM SIGART,
Maebashi Institute of Technology, Maebashi Convention Bureau, Maebashi
City Government, Gunma Prefecture Government, The Japan Research
Institute, Limited, United States Air Force Office of Scientific
Research, Asian Office of Aerospace Research and Development, United
