Following the tradition of previous conferences on Knowledge, Information and
Creativity Support Systems, KICSS 2014 will cover all aspects of knowledge
management, knowledge engineering, intelligent information systems, and creativity in an information technology context, including computational creativity and its cognitive and collaborative aspects. Papers reporting original unpublished research results on theoretical foundations, IT implementations of decision support and expert systems, as well as case studies of successful applications of the above- mentioned ideas in various fields are equally solicited.

  Special session proposals may be submitted by email to the KICSS Organizing
  Committee. Although there is no formal template for such a proposal,
  the proposers should nevertheless specify the title of the session, describe
  briefly its essential content and relation to the conference topics, and specify
  the expected number of contributions, and titles, if already known.
