i-know 12 - 12th International Conference on Knowledge Management and Knowledge Technologies , 5 to 7 September 2012, Graz, Austria

Submission Deadline: April 02 2012

Focusing on the Synergies of Knowledge Computing Disciplines
==================================================

i-KNOW is the premier conference series on Knowledge Management & Knowledge Technologies in Europe. Founded in 2001, it annually attracts over 500 international attendees. i-KNOW acts as an incubator for innovation by bringing together relevant disciplines and communities.

i-KNOW has developed into the crystallization point for different disciplines of knowledge computing, such as machine learning, semantic technologies, social networks,  context-aware computing, etc. Renown researchers from all 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. This is further strengthened by the I-SEMANTICS Conference which is being held concurrently for 6 years already.

For 12 years now, i-KNOW brings together researchers, practitioners, enterpreneurs, and technology developers in Knowledge Management & Knowledge Technologies to address the current challenges and advances in the field. With nearly 50% of participants comming from business or industry the i-KNOW offers the unique setting for in-depth discussions between researchers and practitioners.

Like all major societal challenges, knowledge 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 Business Science and the Social Sciences. This interdisciplinary environment offers the opportunity to establish  collaborations, strengthen links and cross-fertilize core disciplines.

The i-KNOW conference series has the tradition of bringing together Europe´s and US leading researchers with local practitioners involved in Knowledge and Innovation Management. Deliberately reaching out to the Americas, i-KNOW offers impulses and insights from additional research communites which otherwise would be left untapped.

i-KNOW 2012 will continue the successful tradition of the conference series and will specifically provide interactive and innovative formats to support the synergies of knowledge computing fields.

i-KNOW 2012 Special Tracks
======================

In addition to the topics listed above, this years conference offers the opportunity to contribute to two Special Tracks which target the topics of Visual Analytics and Science 2.0. Both Special Tracks will take place on the first conference day (September 5, 2012) and will each feature a whole day of scientific advances, in-depth analysis, and application of the topic in focus.

TAVA ’12 – Special Track on Theory and Applications of Visual Analytics

For the list of possible topics for the TAVA special track, please refer directly to the TAVA Call for Papers.

Science 2.0 Special Track

For the list of possible topics for the Science 2.0 special track, please refer directly to the Science 2.0 Call for Papers.
