i-KNOW 2013 - 13th International Conference on Knowledge Management and Knowledge Computing

I-KNOW is a top-tier international conference in the areas of knowledge management and knowledge computing. Since 2001, it has successfully brought together leading researchers and developers from the these communities and attracted annually over 500 international attendees.
I-KNOW has developed into the crystallization point for different disciplines of knowledge computing, such as knowledge discovery, knowledge analysis, knowledge visualization, social computing, ubiquitous computing, context-aware computing, etc. Renown researchers from these knowledge computing disciplines meet to present and discuss their approaches and explore novel ways of integrating them. This multitude of approaches, all applied to the management of knowledge, accounts for the highly innovative atmosphere of I-KNOW.
Like all major societal challenges, knowledge and innovation management touches diverse aspects of life and thus needs a multi-disciplinary approach for finding solutions. I-KNOW addresses this by including experts and researchers from Computer Science,Business Science, and the Social Sciences. This interdisciplinary environment offers the opportunity to establish collaborations, strengthen links and cross-fertilize core disciplines.
For 13 years now, I-KNOW brings together researchers, practitioners, entrepreneurs, CTOs, CIOs and technology developers in Knowledge Management and Knowledge Computing to address the current challenges and advances in the field. With nearly 50% of participants coming from business or industry the I-KNOW offers the unique setting for in-depth discussions between researchers and practitioners. I-KNOW 2013 goes beyond the enterprise focus by also addressing the application of knowledge management approaches to science.
The I-KNOW conference series has the tradition of bringing together Europe’s and US leading researchers with local practitioners. Deliberately reaching out to the Americas, I-KNOW offers impulses and insights from additional research communities which otherwise would be left untapped.
I-KNOW 2013 will continue the successful tradition of the conference series and will specifically provide interactive and innovative formats to support the synergies of knowledge management and knowledge computing fields.
