Web spam has become a major problem for quality and sustainability of digital
ecosystems. There has been a strong competition between spammers and anti-spam
filters to control spam. As anti-spam filters improve their capability to
detect spam, spammers find new way to bypass these anti-spam filters. It not
only waste's computer and network resources but also it decreases the
reliability of the content available on the Internet. The main purpose of this
workshop is to identify and explore different issues and challenges related to
web spam within the digital environment. It also aims at increasing the synergy
between academic and industrial practitioners. We are interested in
experimental, systems-related, theoretical, and work-in-progress papers in all
aspects of web spam. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the
following: <br>
