Web-based systems, social networks and<br>multi-agent systems very often need these tools for working out consistent<br>knowledge states, resolving conflicts and making decisions. ICCCI 2017 is<br>the 9th edition of the conference organized by the University of Cyprus and<br>Wroclaw University of Science and Technology in Poland, in cooperation with<br>the IEEE SMC Technical Committee on Computational Collective Intelligence.<br>The aim of the conference is to provide an internationally respected forum<br>for scientific research in the computer-based methods of collective<br>intelligence and their applications in (but not limited to) such fields as<br>group decision making, consensus computing, knowledge integration,<br>semantic web, social networks and multi-agent systems.<br><br>The 114 high quality papers will be presented by researchers from 31<br>countries all over the world on the following topics:<br><br>- Knowledge Engineering and Semantic Web<br>- Social Networks and Recommender Systems<br>- Data Mining Methods and Applications-<br>- Multi-agent Systems<br>- Sensor Networks and Internet of Things<br>- Decision Support & Control Systems<br>- Cooperative Strategies for Decision Making and Optimization<br>- Computational Swarm Intelligence<br>- Machine Learning in Medicine and Biometrics<br>- Cyber Physical Systems in Automotive Area<br>- Internet of Things - Its Relations and Consequences<br>- Text Processing and Information Retrieval<br>- Low Resource Language Processing<br>- Computer Vision Techniques<br>- Intelligent Processing of Multimedia in Web Systems<br><br> <br><b><u>Keynote Lectures<br><br></u></b>1.
