Call for Book Proposals

Aims and Scope:
The Springer book series on Knowledge Systems aims to report and
encourage new developments in all topic areas related to knowledge
systems, such as knowledge engineering, data mining, ontologies,
agents, Web-based knowledge representation, knowledge management, and
knowledge-based software engineering. It publishes books that may
comprise (1) collected works on advanced topics in Knowledge Systems
with influential papers selected from various journals and
conferences, and (2) research and tutorial monographs on emerging
topics. Each book proposal in the book series will be reviewed by the
Series Editorial Board with possible additional reviewers.

The book series focuses on knowledge systems, including their
theoretical foundations, infrastructure, enabling technologies and
emerging applications.
