About the KSS Series
The International Symposium on Knowledge and Systems Sciences (KSS) is an annual academic conference focused on the interdisciplinary study of knowledge, systems, and complexity. It brings together researchers from systems science, information science, management, and related domains to explore theoretical and applied approaches to knowledge-based systems. Established in 2000, the series has become a significant forum for cross-disciplinary dialogue.
