China Conference on Knowledge Graph and Semantic Computing (CCKS 2018)

August 14-17,2018, Tianjin, China

Submission deadline: May 18,2018

CCKS2018(China Conference on Knowledge Graph and Semantic Computing, www.ccks2017.com) is organized by the Technical Committee on Language and Knowledge Computing (http://www.cipsc.org.cn/sigkg/) of The Chinese Information Processing Society of China (http://www.cipsc.org.cn), and is the combination of two conferences: the Chinese Knowledge Graph Symposium (CKGS) and Chinese Semantic Web and Web Science Conference (CSWS).  CCKS2016 took place at Xijiao Hotel Beijing, and more than 400 researchers from academia and industry attended the meeting. The theme of CCKS2016 was “Semantic, Knowledge, and Big Linked Data”.

CCKS2018 will be hold on August 14th,2018, Tian Jin, China. The theme is “Knowledge computation, and Language understanding”, discussing key technologies and applications of big data, language understanding, knowledge acquisition, and intelligent service.

The conference welcomes different types of contributions describing new concepts, innovative research work, standards, implementations and experiments, applications, and industrial case studies. Authors are invited to submit complete and unpublished papers, which are not under review in any other conference or journal.

The submissions can be either English or Chinese. All accepted English submissions will be included in an English proceeding published by Springer. Accepted high quality Chinese submissions will be recommended to major Chinese journals such as Journal of Chinese Information Processing (http://www.cipsc.org.cn/jsip/), and Journal of Pattern Recognition and Artificial Intelligence (http://prai.hfcas.ac.cn/), Elsevier Journal of Big Data Research, etc.

All submissions need to go to the submission website: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=ccks2017
