The International Conference on Knowledge and Systems Engineering (KSE) is an esteemed global forum dedicated to presenting, discussing, and exchanging state-of-the-art research, development, and applications in knowledge and systems engineering. Our goal is to unite researchers, practitioners, and students to share both innovative research findings and practical applications while fostering meaningful collaboration within the field.

This year’s conference will be held in Kanazawa, Japan – an enchanting destination celebrated for its breathtaking landscapes, temperate climate, and rich cultural heritage. KSE 2026 is proudly co-organized by Japan Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (JAIST) and VNU University of Engineering and Technology (VNU-UET), and is endorsed by the Vietnam Association of Faculties, Institutes, Schools, and Universities of ICT (FISU).
