The International Symposium on Knowledge and Systems Sciences (KSS), initiated by the School of Knowledge Science of the Japan Advanced Institute of Science and Technology, is the annual meeting of the International Society for Knowledge and Systems Sciences (ISKSS), formally established at the fourth KSS in 2003. The KSS symposium aims to promote the exchange and interaction of knowledge across disciplines and borders to explore new territories and frontiers in knowledge and systems science.

KSS is the successor of the workshop/conference on Systems Methodology: Possibilities for Cross-Cultural Learning and Integration (1995-1997) and other activities organized by the Cross-cultural Learning and Integration Systems Project which was established by systems researchers from China, Japan and the UK in 1995.
