IC3K: Call for Papers

The International Joint Conference on Knowledge Discovery, Knowledge Engineering and Knowledge Management (IC3K) aims to unite researchers, engineers, and practitioners in the areas of Knowledge Discovery, Knowledge Engineering, and Knowledge Management.

Scope

Knowledge Engineering (KE)

Knowledge Engineering (KE) involves the technical, scientific, and social aspects of building and utilizing knowledge-based systems. It draws upon methodologies from artificial intelligence (AI), databases, expert systems, decision support systems, and information systems, with ties to software engineering principles.

Ontology Development (OD)

Ontology Development (OD) focuses on building reusable semantic structures. These semantic structures are central to applications like knowledge graphs, digital twins, explainable AI (XAI), and cybersecurity frameworks.

The KEOD conference aims to be a major meeting point for researchers and practitioners interested in Knowledge Engineering and Ontology Development.

Paper Submission

Authors can submit their work as a complete paper or an abstract. Accepted abstracts are presented but not published in the proceedings.

Complete papers can be submitted as a Regular Paper (completed and validated research) or as a Position Paper (work in progress or an opinion).

Authors should submit a paper in English, carefully checked for grammar and spelling.

Authors are requested to produce and provide the paper WITHOUT any reference to any of the authors.

Publications

All accepted complete papers will be published in the conference proceedings with an ISBN reference.

SCITEPRESS is a member of CrossRef, and every paper is given a DOI.

The proceedings will be submitted for indexation by SCOPUS, Google Scholar, DBLP, Semantic Scholar, EI and Web of Science / Conference Proceedings Citation Index.
