Knowledge science and systems science can be used for one another as methodology and tool and benefit each other. Around these disciplines, the first International Symposium on Knowledge and Systems Sciences, initiated and organized by Japan Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (JAIST), was held in September 2000 (KSS2000), then KSS2001 (Dalian, China), KSS2002 (Shanghai, China), KSS2003 (Guangzhou, China), KSS2004 (Ishikawa, Japan), KSS2005 (Vienna, Austria), KSS2006 (Beijing, China), and KSS2007 (Ishikawa, Japan) had been held and many scientists and researchers, from different countries, contributed to all those symposia. This year, the 9th symposium, KSS2008 will be held in South China University of Technology ( Guangzhou, China), jointly with the 4th International Conference on Knowledge Management in Asia Pacific (KMAP2008), and still expect to provide excellent opportunities for the presentation of interesting new research results, and discussion about them, leading to knowledge transfer and the synergetic generation of new ideas.
The "4th Asia-Pacific International Conference on Knowledge Management" will be held in Guangzhou from 11 to 12 December, 2008. The conference will be co-organized by the Dalian University of Technology, Xian Jiaotong University and The Hong Kong Polytechnic University and hosted by the South China University of Technology.
KMAP 2008 will attract scholars and practitioners from around the Asia-Pacific region. This year‘s conference theme, The Knowledge Powerhouse for the Future, will be especially attractive to a wide-ranging group of attendees. We expect to attract leaders from all parts of society, and welcome your participation in making this a special event.
We have now entered an age in which knowledge is the driving force and the powerhouse for the future in sustaining organizational competitiveness and development. How this knowledge is created, stored, retrieved, shared and applied is a perennial question. The objective of KMAP is to explore these multi-dimensional issues among practitioners and academics. Papers that illustrate knowledge impact in organizational, governmental and social contexts bridging technological, behavioral and cognitive issues are particularly encouraged.
