Call for Papers: International Joint Conference on Knowledge Discovery, Knowledge Engineering and Knowledge Management (IC3K) 2025

Introduction

The International Joint Conference on Knowledge Discovery, Knowledge Engineering and Knowledge Management (IC3K) 2025 aims to bring together researchers, engineers, and practitioners in the areas of Knowledge Discovery, Knowledge Engineering, and Knowledge Management. IC3K is composed of three co-located conferences: KDIR (Knowledge Discovery and Information Retrieval), KEOD (Knowledge Engineering and Ontology Development), and KMIS (Knowledge Management and Information Systems).

IC3K 2025 will be held in conjunction with ICINCO 2025, WEBIST 2025, IN4PL 2025, IJCCI 2025, and CoopIS 2025. Registration to IC3K allows free access to these co-located conferences (as a non-speaker).

The conference offers hybrid support, allowing speakers to present remotely if unable to travel to the venue.
