The International Conference on Data and Knowledge Engineering (ICDKE) is a leading international forum for researchers, developers, and end-users to explore cutting-edge ideas and results, and to exchange techniques. The missions of ICDKE are to share novel research solutions to problems of today's information society that fulfill the needs of heterogeneous applications and environments and to identify new issues and directions for future research and development work. ICDKE seeks submissions from academia and industry presenting research on all practical and theoretical aspects of advanced data-intensive applications, data and knowledge engineering as well as case studies and implementation experiences. All topic areas related to data and knowledge engineering are of interest and in scope. ICDKE gives researchers and practitioners a unique opportunity to share their perspectives with others interested in the various aspects of engineering.
