               In conjunction with 
2006 IEEE/WIC/ACM Int. Conf. on Web Intelligence
   & Int. Conf. on Intelligent Agent Technology
                      and

==================================================

The Workshop proceedings will be published by IEEE 
Computer Society Press, to be indexed by EI.

After successful meetings in Halifax, Canada (2003) 
and Beijing, China (2004), the third International 
Workshop on Web-based Support Systems (WSS'06) will
be held in Hong Kong, China on December 18, 2006.
The workshop aims to bring together researchers and 
users to share their experiences, vision and 
methodologies on Web-based support systems. It will 
provide a forum for the discussion and exchange of 
ideas and information by researchers, students, and 
professionals on the issues and challenges brought 
on by the Web technology for various support systems. 
One of our goals is to find out how applications and 
adaptations of existing methodologies on the Web 
platform benefit our decision-makings and various 
activities.

Submissions on all aspects of Web-based support 
systems are solicited. Descriptions of work in 
progress are also welcome. Papers from previous 
workshops can be found at:
