The conference provides a forum for researchers, practitioners and developers to present original work, to share their views, to exchange ideas and to develop new insights into KSEM-related areas. KSEM2010 will be held in Belfast, Northern Ireland, and is the fourth in the conference series, following three successful events in Guilin, China (KSEM'06), Melbourne, Australia (KSEM'07) and Vienna, Austria (KSEM'09). You are invited to submit papers that are original and not yet published. The topics of interest include but are not limited to: *Special sessions Theory and Practice of Ontology for the Semantic Web Application of Data Mining to Seismic Data Analysis for Earthquake Study *Knowledge science Knowledge representation and reasoning Logics of knowledge Formal analysis of knowledge Knowledge complexity and knowledge metrics Reasoning about knowledge in the presence of inconsistency, incompleteness, context-dependency Commonsense knowledge and uncertainty in knowledge Cognitive foundations of knowledge Knowledge in complex systems and multi-agent systems Formal ontology *Knowledge engineering Knowledge extraction Knowledge integration Knowledge fusion Knowledge-based software engineering Knowledge-based systems in life sciences Conceptual modelling in knowledge-based systems Semantic database systems and semantic Web Content engineering and ontological engineering Implementation issues in KBS Knowledge-based systems in earthquake science *Knowledge management Knowledge creation and acquisition Knowledge verification and validation Knowledge dissemination Knowledge management systems Organizational ontology Data mining and knowledge discovery Organizational memory Organizational learning Knowledge management strategies and practices Knowledge management applications *Paper Submission: Prospective participants are requested to electronically submit full papers of their work (12 pages). In accordance with the previous conferences the organisers of KSEM'2010 will publish the conference proceedings with Springer in the Lecture Notes in Artificial Intelligence (LNAI) series. *General conference co-chairs Bryan Scotney, University of Ulster, Northern Ireland, UK Zhi Jin, Peking University, China *Programme co-chairs Yaxin Bi, University of Ulster, Northern Ireland, UK Mary-Anne Williams, University of Technology, Sydney, Australia *Local organization committee (University of Ulster) James Uhomoibhi (co-chair) Hui Wang (co-chair) Anna Jurek Juan C Augsto David Glass Jun Liu Shengli Wu Nicola Burns Jing Liao Haiying Wang *Steering committee members David Bell, Queen's University Belfast, UK Cungen Cao, Chinese Academy of Sciences, China Dimitris Karagiannis, University of Vienna, Austria Zhi Jin, Peking Univeristy, China Jérome Lang, University Paris-Dauphine, France Yoshiteru Nakamori, JAIST, Japan Jorg Siekmann, DFKI, Germany Eric Tsui, The Hong Kong Polytechnic University, Hong Kong Zongtuo Wang, Dalian Science and Technology University, China Kwok Kee Wei, City University of Hong Kong, Hong Kong Mingsheng Ying, Tsinghua University, China Zili Zhang (Secretary), Southwest University, China Ruqian Lu (Honorary Chair), Chinese Academy of Sciences, China Chengqi Zhang (Chair), University of Technology, Sydney, Australia *Contact details Email:[log in to unmask] website: http://www.ulster.ac.uk/ksem2010 Organization committee of KSEM2010
