The aim of this interdisciplinary conference is to provide a forum for - searchers in the broad areas of knowledge science, knowledge engineering and knowledge management to exchange ideas and to report state-of-the-art - search results. Recent years have seen the growing importance of the synergism of knowledge science, engineering and management to provide stronger support for complex problem solving and decision making. KSEM aims at bridging the three areas and promoting their synergism. KSEM2007 attracted 124 submissions from 21 countries/regions around the world.Allsubmitted papers werereviewedbyatleasttwoPCmembers orext- nal reviewers. The review process was very selective. From the 124 submissions, 42 (33.8%) were accepted as regular papers, and another 28 (22.6%) as short papers. Authors of accepted papers came from 16 countries/regions. This v- ume of the proceedings contains the abstracts of ?ve invited talks, two of them with extended versions,and all the regularand shortpapers. The regular papers werecategorizedinto threebroadsections,thatis,knowledgescience,knowledge engineering, and knowledge management. The technical program featured ?ve invited talks, one panel discussion, and all the accepted papers. The ?ve distinguished invited speakers were John Debenham, Andreas Dengel, Lakhmi Jain, WB Lee, and Ling Zhang. ER -
