Welcome to KSS'2004
The significant feature of development of
knowledge sciences is the interdisciplinary program on an international scale.
We need to promote the exchange and interaction of knowledge across
disciplines and borders to explore the new territories and new frontiers. In
the present stage, attempts to strictly define the knowledge science may be
too ambitious, but a very tolerant, broad-based and open-minded approach to
the discipline can be taken. 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, was held in September 2000 (KSS'2000), then KSS'2001 in DUT (Dalian,
China), KSS'2002 in University of Shanghai for Science and Technology
(Shanghai, China), and KSS'2003 in South China University of Technology
(Guangzhou, China). Many scientists and researchers from different
countries/areas contributed to all those symposia. We own great thanks to
them. This year, the fifth Symposium, KSS'2004 will be held in JAIST with the
support of the 21st century COE (center of excellence) program in JAIST.
All people who are interested in knowledge and systems
sciences are welcome to attend the symposium. We hope to see a growing
community to distribute new ideas and latest research results.
