============================================
 
KSEM is an international conference for research on knowledge science, engineering and management, which attracts high quality,
state-of-the-art research papers from all over the world. The conference provides a forum for researchers, practitioners and developers
to present original work, to share their views, to exchange ideas and to develop new insights into KSEM-related areas.
KSEM2010 will be held in Belfast, Northern Ireland, and is the fourth in the conference series, following three successful
