KSEM'2007 is the second in this series, which builds on the success
of
the first international conference on knowledge science, engineering
and
management (KSEM'2006) in Guilin, China. The aim of this
interdisciplinary conference is to provide a forum for researchers in
the broad areas of knowledge science, knowledge engineering, and
knowledge management to exchange ideas and to report state of the art
research results. You are invited to submit papers that are original
and
not yet published. Papers on the synergism of knowledge science,
knowledge engineering and knowledge management are especially
welcomed.
The topics of interest include but are not limited to:
* Knowledge Science
- Knowledge representation and reasoning
- Logics of knowledge; formal analysis of knowledge; reasoning about
knowledge
- Knowledge complexity and knowledge metrics
- Commonsense knowledge; nonmonotonic reasoning
- Uncertainty in knowledge (randomness, fuzziness, roughness,
vagueness, etc.)
- Reasoning about knowledge in the presence of inconsistency,
incompleteness, context-dependency, etc.
- Belief revision and update
- Cognitive foundations of knowledge
- Knowledge in complex systems (e.g. economical and quantum systems)
-
Game-theoretical aspects of knowledge; knowledge in multiagent systems
- Formal ontology
* Knowledge Engineering
- Knowledge and information extraction from databases and Web
- Knowledge discovery from very large databases
- Knowledge integration
- Knowledge-based software engineering
- Knowledge-based systems in life sciences
- Conceptual modelling in knowledge-based systems
- Semantic database systems
- Semantic Web
- Content engineering
- Ontological engineering
- Implementation issues in KBS
* Knowledge Management
- Knowledge creation and acquisition
- Knowledge verification and validation
- Knowledge dissemination
- Knowledge management systems
- Organizational ontology
- Data mining and knowledge discovery
- Organizational memory
- Organizational learning
- Knowledge management strategies and practices
- Knowledge management applications
* Any topics on the synerism of Knowledge science, knowledge
engineering
and knowledge Management
