Knowledge, Information and Creativity Support Systems

Thisvolume consists of a number of selected papers thatwere presented at the 9th International Conference on Knowledge, Informationand Creativity Support Systems (KICSS 2014) in Limassol, Cyprus, after theywere substantially revised and extended. The 26 regularpapers and 19 short papers included in this proceedings cover all aspects ofknowledge management, knowledge engineering, intelligent information systems,and creativity in an information technology context, including computationalcreativity and its cognitive and collaborative aspects.
