In 2011, the conference venue returned to Hong Kong, 10 years after its founding, and in 2012, it was held in Romania. This volume comprises papers from one collated symposium and four workshops from 2011 and 2012: 1. The FirstandSecondInternationalSymposiumonKnowledgeManagement and E-Learning (KMEL 2011/2012) 2. TheFirstInternationalWorkshoponEnhancingLearningwithSocial(ELSM 2011) 3. The4thInternationalWorkshoponSocialandPersonalComputingforWeb- Supported Learning (SPeL 2011) 4.

In pursuance of this, knowledge is seen as the core resource and learning is viewed as the important process. It is crucial for organizations to enhance the capabilities for effective learning and knowledge management (KM), especially via using infor- mation and communication technologies in the digital economy. The creation, operation, and evolution of such research and practice raise concerns that vary from high-level requirements and policy modeling through to the deployment of specific implementation technologies and paradigms, and involveawideandever-growingrangeofmethods,tools,andtechnologies.They also cover a broad spectrum of vertical domains, industry segments, and even governmentsectors.We intentionallyseekseducators,researchers,scientists,en- gineers, industry people, policy makers, decision makers, and others who have insight, vision, and understanding of the big challenges in knowledge manage- ment and e-learning (KM&EL). After review, we selected ten and eight quality papers in KMEL 2011 and 2012, respectively, for presentation covering various aspects of KM&EL. We appreciate the interest and support of all attendees. In particular, we thank the ICWL organizers, the International Journal of Systems and Service- OrientedEngineering(IJSSOE),andtheKnowledgeManagement&E-Learning: An International Journal (KM&EL) for their generous support. The great suc- cess of the symposium is indebted to the hard work of all Program Committee members. We also thank all the authors for their contributions. December 2012 Dickson K.W.
