===========================================

The 14th International Conference on Knowledge Engineering and Knowledge Management is concerned with all aspects of eliciting, acquiring, modelling and managing knowledge, and their role in the construction of knowledge-intensive systems and services for the semantic web, knowledge management, e-business, natural language processing, intelligent integration information, etc. Submissions are invited on relevant topics, including but not restricted to:

A) KNOWLEDGE SERVICES AND THE SEMANTIC WEB

Knowledge Modelling, Knowledge Annotation, Knowledge Management and Knowledge Evolution on the Semantic Web … Semantic web services: Theory, Tools and Applications … Problem solving methods and semantic web services … Ontology-based wrapper technology … Semantic Portals … Human language technologies and the Semantic Web … Peer to Peer communication between semantic systems … Brokering systems … Architectures for the Semantic Web

B) KNOWLEDGE MANAGEMENT

Methodologies and tools for Knowledge Management … Methodologies and tools for (possible distributed) corporate memory construction, evaluation and evolution … Knowledge Management Applications … Social and human factors dimensions of knowledge management … Knowledge acquisition, work place analysis and requirements engineering for knowledge modelling … Knowledge modelling and enterprise modelling … Human language technologies and Knowledge Management

C) ONTOLOGIES

Languages, techniques, tools and methodologies for Knowledge Acquisition, Modelling and Management … Methods and tools for collaborative building, evolution and evaluation of ontologies … Ontology Learning from natural language, from semi-structured data and from structured data … Methodologies and tools for ontology reengineering, reuse, merging, alignment, integration and certification … Ontologies and agents … Ontologies and Information Sharing … Ontologies and Intelligent Integration Information

D) KNOWLEDGE ACQUISITION and MODELLING

Advanced Knowledge modelling languages and tools … Knowledge capture through machine learning and knowledge discovery in data bases … Specific knowledge modelling issues for CBR systems, cooperative KBS, training applications … Knowledge Acquisition from texts … Evaluation of methods, techniques and tools for Knowledge Acquisition … Knowledge modelling for improving Human Computer Interaction
