The 32 revised full papers and 19 revised short papers presented together with 4 keynote talks were carefully reviewed and selected from 170 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on web service, social networks, web data mining, keyword search, web data modeling, recommender systems, RDF and web data processing, XML and query languages, web information systems, and information retrieval and extraction.

th Welcome to the Proceedings of WISE 2010 — the 11 International Conference on Web Information Systems Engineering. This year, WISE returned to the place where the inaugural conference was held in 2000, Hong Kong. WISE has also been held in: 2001 Kyoto (Japan), 2002 Singapore, 2003 Rome (Italy), 2004 Brisbane (Australia), 2005 New York (USA), 2006 Wuhan (China), 2007 Nancy (France), 2008 Auckland (New Zealand), and 2009 Poznan (Poland). Continuing its trend, this year’s WISE provided a forum for engineers and scientists to present their latest findings in Web-related technologies and solutions. The submitted contributions address challenging issues in Web services, search, modeling, recommendation and data mining, as well as keyword search, social network analysis, query languages, and information retrieval and extraction. This year, WISE received 170 submissions from 25 countries, including Argentina, Australia, Austria, Belgium, Canada, China, Czech Republic, France, Germany, Hong Kong, Greece, Iran, Ireland, Italy, Japan, The Netherlands, Norway, Singapore, South Korea, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Taiwan, UK, and the USA. After a thorough reviewing process, 32 papers were selected for presentation as full papers – the acceptance rate was 18.8%. In addition, 19 papers were selected for presentation as short papers, yielding an overall acceptance rate of 30%.

This book constitutes the revised selected papers of the combined workshops on Web Information Systems Engineering, WISE 2014, held in Thessaloniki, Greece, in October 2014. The 19 selected papers presented were carefully revised and report from the four workshops: computational social networks, IWCSN 2014, enterprise social networks, Org2 2014, personalization and context-awareness in cloud and service computing, PCS 2014, and data quality and trust in big data, QUAT 2014.

The three volume set provides a systematic overview of theories and technique on social network analysis. Volume 3 of the set mainly focuses on the propagation models and evolution rules of information. Information retrieval and dissemination, topic discovery and evolution, algorithms of influence maximization are discussed in detail. It is an essential reference for scientist and professionals in computer science.

"This book provides solutions to these challenges, practices and understanding of contemporary theories and empirical analysis for systems engineering in a way that achieves service excellence"--Provided by publisher.
