With the profound impact Internet and Web have on our society, Web information system (WIS) has emerged as one of the mainstream paradigms of distributed application system. It plays an increasingly important role in public computing, enterprise computing and industry informatization. The Web Information Systems and Applications Conference (WISA) provides a golden opportunity for scientists and engineers all over the world to conduct in-depth and extensive discussion on core technologies and subject areas critical to WIS. The last thirteen conferences are respectively held in Wuhan, Shenyang, Nanjing, Beijing, Xi'an, Xuzhou, Hohhot, Chongqing, Haikou, Yangzhou, Ji'nan and Wuhan, receiving nearly 1,000 submissions at its most. The 14th Web Information Systems and Applications Conference (WISA 2017) will be held from November 11th to 12th in Liuzhou, Guangxi, China.

The conference proceedings will be published by IEEE Conference Publishing Services (CPS). Accepted papers presented at the conference will also be submitted for inclusion in the IEEE Xplore and to other abstracting and indexing partners such as the Ei Compendex. Authors of selected best papers from the conference will be invited to submit an extended version to Journal of Frontiers of Computer Science and Technology, Journal of Chinese Computer Systems, or to the special section “Security of Information System” of Journal of Software.
