The Internet and World Wide Web are milestone of information sharing. IT professionals are in the critical historical stage of creating the new brilliance -- a new interconnection environment. Semantics and knowledge are the basis of this environment. The International Conference on Semantics, Knowledge and Grid (SKG) is the unique cross-area international forum on semantic computing, knowledge networking, and grid computing.

The 2nd International Conference on Semantics, Knowledge and Grid (SKG2006) is to bring together researchers and practitioners in areas of knowledge and intelligence, semantics, and grid computing to share their visions, research achievements and solutions to real applications, to resolve the challenge issues and to establish worldwide cooperative research and development. SKG2006 will be held in Guilin, a city with natural beauty and historical treasures, located in the northeast of Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region of China.
