IES-KCIC

Knowledge creation is becoming more important topic for researchers and users in academic, management and industrial fields. The term has been widely used for the last couple of years, and refers to the formation of new ideas through interactions between explicit and tacit knowledge in individual human mind. To realise knowledge creation in real life, it is essential to transform human mind into computation in order to extract potentially useful information from data and create valuable knowledge. The use of intelligent techniques in computing-related fields can be useful to retrieve meaningful result in automated processes for knowledge creation.
