About Us
The importance of studying knowledge science, knowledge engineering and knowledge management has been recognized widely. We could cite Feigenbaum’s words in his book The fifth generation, Artificial Intelligence and Japan’s Computer challenge to the World, for demonstrating the point:

KSEM General Guidelines and Policies
For the KSEM conference series, we are committed to promoting ethical behavior, diversity, and fairness in all aspects of our conference. Our policies aim to establish a premier research conference in knowledge science, engineering, and management.
Ethics
All attendees, including authors, speakers, organizers, and participants, are expected to conduct themselves in an ethical manner that respects the dignity and rights of all individuals. This includes avoiding any form of discrimination, harassment, or bullying based on personal characteristics, such as gender, race, ethnicity, religion, sexual orientation, age, or disability. In addition, all participants are expected to adhere to ethical standards in their research, including obtaining appropriate informed consent and ensuring the ethical use of data.
Diversity
We believe that diversity is essential for advancing AI research and fostering innovation in the field. Therefore, we strive to create a conference that represents a diverse range of perspectives, backgrounds, and experiences. This includes inviting speakers and organizers from different countries and encouraging submissions on emerging topics in the field. We also prioritize the inclusion of diverse perspectives and viewpoints in our program and discussions.
Bidding of KSEM Hosting
Organizations interested in hosting the KSEM conference are required to submit the bidding documents to the KSEM steering committee chair, no later than two months prior to that year's KSEM conference. The bidding document needs to cover the following aspects:
- Venue and Hosting Organization
- Facilities and Accommodation
- Proposed Organization Committee
- Experience in Hosting International Conferences
- Strategies for Organizing KSEM
- Recommended Schedules/Milestones
Conference Chair Designation
The KSEM conference general chair is responsible for overseeing the overall conference and ensuring that it aligns with our policies and values. We select our general chair based on their experience, leadership skills, and commitment to promoting ethical behavior and diversity in the field. The general chair is responsible for upholding our policies and values, as well as ensuring that the conference is inclusive and welcoming to all attendees.
KSEM program committee chairs are designated based on their academic leadership, expertise, experience, and commitment to promoting ethical behavior and diversity in the field. We expect our program chairs to prioritize diversity in their selection of keynote speakers and accepted papers, as well as in the overall program design. Additionally, program committee chairs are expected to facilitate open and respectful discussions and ensure that all participants have an equal opportunity to contribute and engage.
