Featuring the latest advances in theoretical and applied research, KEPT topics include recent knowledge processing and discovery challenges. KEPT aims to stimulate the interaction among the scientific communities of knowledge engineering, with the purpose of exhibiting interesting applications of these areas both in theory and in practice. In 2009,  the event will take place in Cluj Napoca, a traditional academic city in Romania, situated on the middle of Transylvania. KEPT 2009 will be hosted at Babes-Bolyai University in Cluj Napoca, one of the oldest universities in Romania.

Submission Procedure:
=====================
Prospective authors are invited to submit the electronic version of their full paper (i.e. PS, PDF, MSWord) on the conference web site. Papers are limited to 8 pages and should follow the instructions regarding the paper format available at http://www.cs.ubbcluj.ro/kept2009/Style/Style.zip
where files with the formatting styles can be downloaded. All papers will be handled electronically by using the online submission system http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=kept2009. We will follow rigorous reviewing process. Submission of a paper should be regarded as assurance that, should the paper be accepted, at least one of the authors will attend the conference to present it. Accepted papers will be published in the conference proceedings. For further information please check the conference web site http://www.cs.ubbcluj.ro/kept2009.
