Aims and Scope

Knowledge and Information Systems (KAIS) provides an international forum for researchers and professionals to share their knowledge and report new advances on all topics related to knowledge systems and advanced information systems. This peer-reviewed archival journal publishes state-of-the-art research reports on emerging topics in KAIS, reviews of important techniques in related areas, and application papers of interest to a general readership.

The journal focuses on knowledge systems and advanced information systems, including their theoretical foundations, infrastructure, enabling technologies and emerging applications. We solicit submissions of original research, and experience and vision papers that address this theme. Survey papers on emerging topics will receive especially preferential and supportive reviews. Suggested topics include, but are not limited to, the following areas:

• Knowledge and Information Processing: Theory, Techniques and Systems
  • knowledge and data engineering
  • decision support
  • active and dynamic systems
  • knowledge graph computing

  • data ranking, sharing, and warehousing
  • temporal and spatial database processing
  • information retrieval
  • big data analytics

  • data mining
  • learning and adaptation
  • deep learning
  • artificial life

  • information quality, security and privacy
  • modelling and object orientation
  • co-operativeness, interoperability and software re-usability

  • human-computer interaction
  • hypertext, hypermedia and multimedia
  • data and knowledge visualization
  • semantic web

• Underlying Computational Techniques
  • soft computing (including neural nets, fuzzy logic, probabilistic reasoning, and rough set theory)
  • evolutionary computing
  • hybrid computing
  • uncertainty management
  • agent architectures and systems (including multi-agent scenarios)

• Platforms
  • high performance computing systems
  • distributed intelligent systems
  • mobile systems
  • ubiquitous and pervasive computing

• Application to Specific Problem Domains

  for example:

  • biomedical systems
  • geographical information systems
  • intelligent services
  • social computing
  • emerging applications
    (such as Internet technologies and digital libraries)

We publish critical review papers to discuss the state of the art in particular areas, as well as state-of-the-art research reports. Accepted papers are grouped for publication so that individual issues focus on a small number of theme areas. In addition to archival papers, the journal also publishes significant on-going research in the form of Short Papers (limited to 5000 words), and very short papers on "visions and directions" (no more than 3000 words, excluding bibliography). We conduct reviews in a timely fashion and inform authors of decisions with a target turnaround time of 3 months.

Selected papers from relevant conferences are welcome. Good papers with high quality reviews can be accepted after the expansion and revision is verified by an Associate Editor of the Editorial Board. Conference organizers are invited to contact the Editor-in-Chief for further information.
