Guest Editorial: Knowledge and Experience Engineering: Recent Advances with Applications

The discipline of Knowledge Engineering (KE), with its subdiscipline Experience Engineering (EE), has become a critical element for people, machines, organizations, and other entities that need to collaborate when pursuing a common objective, given that knowledge is an important and major asset that guarantees competitive advantage in a rapidly changing, economic-driven environment. Due to the advances in KE technologies and the need for efficient, dynamic knowledge acquisition and usage, the EE subfield has become crucial in any KE strategy. Experience is the major source of knowledge. It promotes the creation of new knowledge clusters and facilitates skills and knowledge upgrading. As a consequence, several new and interesting theories and proposals on EE are currently emerging in theoretical and applied research, and most of them are highly valuable contributions to the area of KE. Some of these new contributions are presented in this Guest Edition of Cybernetics and Systems. The overall benefit of this edition is that it provides guidelines for developing tools and approaches to smart engineering of knowledge generated by experience in diverse areas and application domains. Understandably, the journal’s Guest Edition does not presume to give ultimate answers; readers are encouraged to become aware of the multifaceted interdisciplinary character of such issues. This Guest Edition of Cybernetics and Systems contains carefully selected, peer-reviewed, and expanded studies that were presented in 2014 at leading knowledge, experience, and cognition-related international conferences in Europe and Asia.
