The Tenth International Conference on Information, Process, and Knowledge Management eKNOW2018, March 25 - 29, 2018, Rome, Italy

Researching the future can make use of the full capabilities of the present-day information technology. The related inforamtion systems are ofeten termed Foresight Support Systems. The variety of the information systems, their applications, and the heterogeneous nature of information and knowledge representation require special technologies to capture, manage, store, preserve, interpret and deliver the content and digital documents. Progress in cognitive science, knowledge acquisition, representation, and processing helped to deal with imprecise, uncertain or incomplete information. Management of geographical and temporal information becomes a challenge, in terms of volume, speed, semantic, decision, and delivery.

Information technologies allow optimization in searching an interpreting data, yet special constraints imposed by the digital society require on-demand, ethics, and legal aspects, as well as user privacy and safety. Nowadays, there is notable progress in designing and deploying information and organizational management systems, experts systems, tutoring systems, decision support systems, Foresight Support Systems, and in general, industrial systems.

• Knowledge fundamentals
