SKIMA 2017 aims to bring together researchers and experts in Knowledge Management, Software Engineering and Information Systems to share their ideas, experiences and insights. We welcome researchers and practitioners from academia, industries, research institutions, R&D enterprise services and governmental organisations to exchange innovative contributions around the conference topics. This conference series was started in an international collaboration context between research professionals in Western and Asian countries in Chiang Mai, Thailand 2006. Subsequently, the next SKIMA conferences were organized in Kathmandu, Nepal in 2008; Fez, Morocco in 2009; Paro, Bhutan in 2010; Benevento, Italy in 2011, Chengdu, China in 2012, Chiang Mai Thailand in 2013, Dhaka, Bangladesh in 2014, Kathmandu Nepal in 2015 and Chengdu China 2016.

Submission Guidelines:
---------------------------
Authors are invited to submit papers describing original, previously unpublished work, not currently under review by another conference, workshop, or a journal. Full papers (up to 8 camera-ready pages, 10 pt font in IEEE format) should present novel perspectives within the general scope of the conference. All papers must include title, complete contact information for all authors, abstract, and keywords on the cover page. Paper submission will be reviewed and evaluated based on its originality, technical quality, and relevance to the conference. Conference content will be submitted for inclusion into IEEE Xplore (approval pending) as well as other Abstracting and Indexing (A&I) databases. Note that, one of the authors must present their papers at the conference to be included into IEEE Xplore.

SKIMA 2017 invites proposals for Special sessions and tutorials in all relevant areas. Sessions can cover any of the established topics as well as emerging subfields. Please send one page proposal with a title and brief description of the session and tutorial contents.
