With explosive growth of data and information on wired and wireless networks, there are more and more challenging intelligent e-Application problems in terms of Web QoI (Quality of Intelligence). We mainly discuss Computational Web Intelligence (CWI) based on both Computational Intelligence (CI) and Web Technology (WT). In addition, we briefly introduce a broad research area called Hybrid Web Intelligence (HWI) based on AI (Artificial Intelligence), BI (Biological Intelligence), CI, WT and other relevant techniques. Generally, the intelligent e-brainware based on CWI and HWI can be widely used in smart e-Business applications on wired and wireless networks.
AI techniques have been used in single-computer-based intelligent systems for almost 50 years, and in networked-computers-based intelligent systems in recent years. The challenging problem is how to use AI techniques in Web-based applications on the Internet. With explosive growth of the wired and wireless networks, Web users suffer from huge amounts of raw Web data because current Web tools still cannot find satisfactory information and knowledge effectively...
