With the advent of revolutionary technologies such as artificial intelligence, machine learning, cloud computing, big data, and IoT; Secure Knowledge Management (SKM) continues to be an important research area that deals with methodologies for systematically gathering, organizing, and disseminating information in a secure manner. The recent development of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in the security arena shows a promising future, and there is no doubt that AI can provide new ideas and tools for SKM. Therefore, this conference on SKM will bring together researchers and practitioners from academia, industry, and government on a global scale. The scope and focus of SKM-2019 conference are to present and discuss the most recent innovations, trends, and concerns including practical challenges encountered and solution adopted with special emphasis on AI. SKM-2017 was held in Tampa Florida and past iterations of SKM were held in SUNY Buffalo, SUNY Albany, SUNY Stony Brook, UT Dallas, Rutgers University, BITS Dubai and University of South Florida. Following the biennial tradition of the Secure Knowledge Management Workshop that began in 2004, SKM-2019 will be held during December 21 - 22, 2019, at BITS Pilani, Goa Campus, Goa, India. Papers offering novel research contributions in all aspects. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:


  *   SKM in specific technology domains such as:
     *   Artificial Intelligence
     *   Data mining and Machine Learning
     *   Hybrid Cloud Computing
