In the ever-changing world where more people are enjoying a better
life, there has been an increasing demand of new services across the
borders as well as a better quality of service. New, better services
are invented only through extensive market researches and constant
reflections on businesses, which both require an advanced application
of information and communication technologies. Among them, more
attention has been paid to various types of e-service, which is a
prominent application of various information and communication
technologies. In due course, advanced techniques on knowledge
management in a broad sense are becoming all the more important to
cope with gigantic, diverse data that are obtained from various
sources.

Following the success of the preceding two international workshops on
e-services and knowledge management, the third IIAI International
Conference on e-Services and Knowledge Management, IIAI-ESKM 2012,
brings together scientists, engineers, computer users, and students to
exchange and share their experiences, new ideas, and research results
about all aspects (theory, applications and tools) of E-Services and
knowledge management, and discuss the practical challenges encountered
and the solutions adopted. The conference will cover a broad set of
