The 20th International Symposium on Knowledge and Systems Sciences (KSS2019) is the annual meeting by the International Society for Knowledge and Systems Sciences. The theme of KSS2019 is

Knowledge Science in the Age of Big Data

Submission Guidelines

KSS2019 will accept various contributions, which should be written in right English.

• Full papers for scientific and practice contributions

should not exceed 15 pages including abstract,figures and references. Please include a 150 word abstract and 3-6 keywords best describing the paper. Submissions should be formatted according to the guidelines of Lecture Notes in Computer Science at Springer Verlag. Author instructions can be downloaded at http://www.springer.com/computer/lncs?SGWID=0-164-6-793341-0

Please submit your contribution as a PDF through the EasyChair system:  https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=kss2019

All full-length submission will be double-blinded reviewed by at least 3 technical committee members. Please do remove information, such as authors names, affiliations, email addresses, from the manuscripts. Cross-similarity check will also be conducted under Springer's requirements. Submission with high cross similarity will be rejected directly.

At this category, long abstract no less than 2 pages with keywords and references will also be reviewed simultaneously together with full papers. Based on the review comments, some long abstracts will be recommended to extended to full-length papers and submitted to Journal of Systems Science and Information (open-access) for quick review and publication.

• (Simple) Abstracts

  Please submit one A4-sized with around 1000 words to describe your research or practice. This item is only for those who just want to make a presentation at KSS2019. All accepted abstracts with registerred authors will be included in one conference brochure provided to all conference participants in print. The abstract submission at easychair will be reopened after full-length paper notification.
