The
main aim of this conference is to bring together academics, researchers,
professional and industrial practitioners to discuss research ideas and to
explore the role of knowledge in the information age. The thread that links all
the themes of the workshop title is the exploration of the various aspects
of knowledge and understanding between between human users, human
user & machine, and machine-to-machine. There are many challenges
in all of these aspects and these are reflected in the themes and topics
envisaged for this workshop:
