Society. Therefore, EICs play a critical role to the success of the Computer
Society.
SCOPE OF IEEE TKDE
IEEE TKDE includes the knowledge and
data engineering aspects of computer science, artificial intelligence,
electrical engineering, computer engineering, and other appropriate fields. TKDE
provides an international and interdisciplinary forum to communicate results of
new developments in knowledge and data engineering and the feasibility studies
of these ideas in hardware and software.
