Introduction
  
Data, Information, Knowledge and Wisdom, in short (DIKW), have been used widely as marking terms in various domains for expressing and exchanging semantic or conceptual subjective or objective understandings. However, there are still no unified understandings over the meaning of the DIKW concepts. Data, Information, Knowledge, and Wisdom as a whole concept of DIKW is also missing unified understandings of the relationships among them. Therefore, there have been proposals and models of DIKW as “layered hierarchy”, “architecture”, “framework”, “network”, “thinking mode”, “pattern”, “style”, “theory”, “methodology”, “model”, “graph”, etc.
  
2023 International Conference on Data, Information, Knowledge and Wisdom (DIKW 2023) aims to bring together scientists, researchers, and industrial engineers to exchange experimental and theoretical Data/Information/Knowledge/Wisdom modeling and processing results, novel designs, explainable AI, AI governance, work-in-progress and case studies on theories, design mechanisms and extensions on DIKW transformations and interactions in all areas, in all phases, empirical or theoretical solutions.

Submission Guidelines
Submissions must include an abstract, keywords, the e-mail address of the corresponding author and should not exceed 8 pages for main conference, including tables and figures in IEEE CS format. The template files for LATEX or WORD can be downloaded here. All paper. submissions must represent original and unpublished work. Each submission will be peer reviewed by at least three program committee members. Submission of a paper should be regarded as an undertaking that, should the paper be accepted, at least one
of the authors will register for the conference and present the work. Submit your paper(s) in PDF file at the submission site: http://www.swinflow.org/confs/2023/dikw/submission.htm.
