Enterprise ontology is one of the conceptual pillars of enterprise engineering, next to enterprise design and enterprise governance, together accomplishing the goals of intellectual manageability, organisational concinnity and social devotion.

The book titled "Enterprise Governance and Management" will offer useful means to the reader for establishing governance and management in an organisation, as well as for dealing with changes, regardless the origin of their causes: internal or external. As the third and final book in its series (after the books on Enterprise Ontology and Enterprise Design), Enterprise Governance and Management has the same firm theoretical basis: the CIAO paradigm and its offspring of specific theories, which constitute the foundations of the emerging discipline of Enterprise Engineering. Like the two predecessors, the book is a theory-based but practical guide.

This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed proceedings of the 7th International Joint Conference on Knowledge Discovery, Knowledge Engineering and Knowledge Management, IC3K 2015, held in Lisbon, Portugal, in November 2015.The 25 full papers presented together with 2 invited papers were carefully reviewed and selected from 280 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on knowledge discovery and information retrieval; knowledge engineering and ontology development; and knowledge management and information sharing.
