After seven highly successful interdisciplinary conferences organized in East Asia and Australia, the 8th International Conference on Knowledge, Information and Creativity Support Systems (KICSS'2013) was organized for the first time in Europe - in Kraków and Wieliczka, Poland. The previous conferences in this series were held in Ayutthaya, Thailand (2006), Ishikawa, Japan (2007), Hanoi, Vietnam (2008), Seoul, Korea (2009), Chiang Mai, Thailand (2010), Beijing, China (2011) and Melbourne, Australia (2012). The proceedings of KICSS conferences have been published a.o. by Springer in the LNCS/LNAI series, IEEE CPS and JAIST Press. KICSS conferences provide an international forum for researchers as well as IT practitioners to share new ideas and original research results. New research and development areas for knowledge, decision and creativity sciences are also determined and practical development experiences in all the areas mentioned above are shared.
Following the tradition of previous conferences on Knowledge, Information and Creativity Support Systems, KICSS’2013 covers the most relevant aspects of knowledge management, knowledge engineering, decision support systems, intelligent information systems and creativity in an information technology context. The conference specifically covers the cognitive and collaborative aspects of creativity. The focus theme of KICSS’2013 was “Looking into the Future of Creativity and Decision Support Systems”. As a result, the list of conference topics included for the first time future-oriented fields of research, such as anticipatory networks and systems, foresight support systems, relevant newly-emerging applications such as autonomous creative systems. Also included were areas of future research such as general creativity. In addition, several papers presented the results of the recent foresight project
SCETIST concerning the future trends and scenarios of selected artificial intelligence and information society technologies until 2025. Their topics included the development of decision and creativity support systems.
