It is our great pleasure to welcome you at the International Conference on Web Intelligence, Mining and Semantics (WIMS’14) taking place on June 2nd – 4th at Thessaloniki, Greece. The WIMS conference series was initiated by the Western Norway Research Institute, as a part of the celebration of their 25th anniversary. The 2nd international conference in this series WIMS’12 was organized at the University of Craiova, Romania, and the 3rd conference (WIMS’13) – at Autonomous University of Madrid, Spain. This year, the 4th WIMS conference (WIMS’14) is organized under the auspices of the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, in Greece. This conference is intended to stimulate discussions on the forefront of research concerned with intelligent approaches to transform the World Wide Web into a global reasoning and semantics-driven computing machine. We believe that the scope of the WIMS’14 will serve the interest of the scientific community as well as relevant industries and general public. 27 full papers, 13 short papers and 1 discussion paper were accepted for the presentation at the conference, in 12 sessions, and publication in the electronic proceedings and the ACM Digital Library. This conference also features 3 distinguished keynote addresses, presented in 3 plenary sessions, 2 workshops and 1 tutorial, presented in 6 more sessions.
