The 21st International Conference on
KICSS 2026
About the Conference
The International Conference on Knowledge, Information and Creativity Support Systems (KICSS) provides an international forum for researchers, practitioners, and educators to exchange ideas and present advances in knowledge science, creativity support systems, decision support systems, and emerging information technologies.
KICSS 2026 welcomes original research contributions, practical applications, case studies, and emerging ideas that advance the understanding and development of knowledge, information, and creativity support systems. The conference particularly encourages interdisciplinary research connecting knowledge management, creativity, decision making, organizational learning, artificial intelligence, and collaborative innovation.
Publication & Submission
KICSS 2026 offers two independent submission tracks, allowing authors to choose the publication venue that best suits their research.
The Conference Track follows the standard KICSS conference review process and is managed through EasyChair.
The Journal Track is independently managed through the IEICE submission system and follows the journal review process. It provides authors with the opportunity to publish their work in a Special Issue of an IEICE Transaction journal through the standard journal peer-review process.
To maximize publication opportunities, papers submitted to the Journal Track that are not accepted for publication in the Special Issue may be recommended by the editors for transfer to the Conference Track.
The submission link will be announced once available.
All submitted manuscripts must be prepared using the official IEICE MS Word template. Authors are requested to follow the formatting instructions provided in the template. Manuscripts that do not conform to the required format may be returned to the authors for revision prior to the review process.
