6th International Workshop on Engineering Knowledge and Semantic Systems - IWEKSS 2014
Part of the 6th Asian Conference on Intelligent Information and Database Systems - ACIIDS 2014
April 7-8, 2014, Bangkok, Thailand
Deadline for submissions: November 10, 2013

1. Aim & scope
There have been many kinds of knowledge-based and ontology-based applications to support domain-specific knowledge modelling and the semantic dimension of information systems. Its emerging environment is characterized by intensive collaboration, cooperation and knowledge processing activities with formation of complex social and economical networks in the background. Various knowledge processing techniques are being used to address data portability and Web information discovery problems. More particularly, it is very important to investigate how to make the systems (e.g., networked organizations, organizational networks, and in distributed knowledge management) more practical. Modelling the dynamics and evolution of such complex systems, involving knowledge processing with intelligent information agents acting on behalf of thousands of users, is a new and promising research area with many practical applications.
The aim of this invited session is to bring together researchers and practitioners in areas of knowledge and intelligence, semantics, agents and grid computing to share their visions, research achievements and solutions, to resolve the challenge issues and to establish worldwide cooperative research and development. This will give an opportunity to push further the discussion upon the potential of knowledge and semantic systems across many communities.

3. Instructions for authors
The papers will be reviewed by TPC members. Only the qualified submissions will be selected for presentation and will be included in the workshop proceedings. The papers should present original and unpublished research. The workshop proceeding is planned to be published and distributed by Springer in series LNCS/LNAI. Submitted papers for IWEKSS should be prepared in LNCS/LNAI style.
