KSEM aims to be a scientific conference for research on knowledge science,
engineering and management, attracting high quality, state-of-the-art research from all
over the world. The conference endeavors to bring together researchers, developers, and
academic and industry leaders, active and interested in KSEM-related research areas
and their practices. The conference is specifically focused on becoming the premier
forum for prototype and deployed knowledge engineering and knowledge-based systems.
The conference offers an exceptional opportunity for presenting original work,
technological adavances, practical problems and concerns of the research community.
KSEM2009 to be held in Vienna is the third in this series, following two successful
events in Guilin, China (KSEM'2006) and in Melbourne, Australia (KSEM'2007).
As its predecessor conferences KSEM'2009 aims to be an interdisciplinary event,
providing a meeting ground for researchers in the broad areas of knowledge science,
knowledge engineering, and knowledge management. KSEM'2009 proposes to be a
forum for people to share their views, to exchange ideas, to develop new insights and to
report state of the art research results.
