We have the pleasure to invite you to contribute to and to participate 
in the conference "Knowledge Acquisition and Management" and 2nd 
Workshop on “Artificial Intelligence for Knowledge Management” 
(KAM&AI4KM'14).  The predecessor of the KAM conference has been 
organized for the first time in 1992, as a venue for scientists and 
practitioners to address different aspects of usage of advanced 
information technologies in management, with focus on intelligent 
techniques and knowledge management. In 2003 the conference changed 
somewhat its focus and was organized for the first under its current 
name. Furthermore, the KAM conference became an international event, 
with participants from around the world. In 2012 we’ve joined to 
Federated Conference on Computer Science and Systems becoming one of the 
oldest event.

The “Artificial Intelligence for Knowledge Management” Workshop was 
initiated by IFIP Group TC12.6 in 2012 as the separate event during 
European Conference on Artificial Intelligence in Montpellier 
(ECAI’2012). From the beginning the workshop aims in bringing together 
researchers and practitioners involved in Knowledge Management using the 
methods and techniques of AI for building and improving all aspects of 
KM and of knowledge flow, among others, improvement of the innovation 
process. This year both teams KAM and AI4KM, have decided to join 
efforts in the FedCSIS framework with common challenge: “Collaborative 
Human-Machine Intelligence” under IFIP supporting.

The aim of this common event is to create possibility of presenting and 
discussing approaches, techniques and tools in the knowledge acquisition 
and other knowledge management areas with focus on contribution of 
artificial intelligence for improvement of human-machine intelligence 
and face the challenges of this century. We expect that the 
conference&workshop will enable exchange of information and experiences, 
and delve into current trends of methodological, technological and 
implementation aspects of knowledge management processes.
