The International Symposium on Knowledge and Systems Sciences (KSS), successor of the sponsored by the International Federation for Systems Research, is the annual meeting of the International Society for Knowledge and Systems Sciences (ISKSS), formally established at the fourth KSS in 2003. It aims to promote the exchange and interaction of knowledge across disciplines and borders to explore new territories and frontiers in knowledge and systems science.

Initiated by the School of Knowledge Science of the Japan Advanced Institute of Science and Technology, the symposium and society are rooted in the UK-China-Japan workshop on Systems Methodology: Possibilities for Cross-Cultural Learning and Integration (1995-1997) and other activities organized by the China-Japan-UK Systems Project: Cross-cultural Learning and Integration (Systems East & West) which was established by systems researchers from China, Japan and the UK in 1995 and sponsored by the International Federation for Systems Research.
