International Conference on Knowledge Engineering and Semantic Web (KESW)**

Favorite

The International Conference on Knowledge Engineering and Semantic Web (KESW), formerly the Russian Knowledge Engineering and Semantic Web Technology Conference (KESW) and the Russian Knowledge Management and Semantic Web Technology Conference (KMSW), is dedicated to discussing research results and directions in the areas related to Knowledge Representation and Reasoning, Semantic Web, and Linked Data. Its aim is to bring together researchers, practitioners, and educators, in particular from ex-USSR, Eastern and Northern Europe, to present and share ideas regarding Semantic Web, and popularize the area in these regions.

Main organizer of the conference is the International Research Laboratory “Intelligent Information Processing Methods and Semantic Technologies” (Laboratory ISST) at the University of Information Technologies, Mechanics and Optics (ITMO University) in St. Petersburg, Russia. Among others a co-organizer of the conference has been the Russian Association of Artificial Intelligence (2010-2012).
