=================================================================
As the Web has become a major source of information, techniques and methodologies to extract quality information is of paramount importance for many Web applications and users. Big Data mining and knowledge discovery play key roles in many Web applications such as e-commerce and computer security.
 
Following the success of MAW08 in Okinawa Japan, MAW09 in Bradford UK, MAW10 in Perth Australia, MAW11 in Singapore, MAW12 in Fukuoka Japan, and MAW13 in Barcelona Spain, MAW14 in Victoria Canada, MAW15 aims to bring together scientists, engineers, and practitioners to discuss, exchange ideas, and present their research on mining the Web. Topics of interest that MAW14 covers include general mining techniques and methodologies, as well as their application to the Web (but are not limited to):
 
* Text, Data, and Media Mining
* Natural Language Processing
* Information Retrieval and Knowledge Discovery
* Social Networks and On-Line Communities
* Information Categorisation, Clustering, and Fusion
* Web Search, Ranking and Optimisation
* Collaborative Filtering, Personalisation and Recommender Systems 
* Semantic Web and Ontology
* Cyber Security, Privacy, and Trust
* e-Technology, e-Government, and e-Learning
