Call for papers:

Knowledge Management (KM) is one of the key progress factors in organizations.  It involves explicit and persistent representation of knowledge of (geographically) dispersed groups of people in the organization, so as to improve the activities of the organization. Although KM is an issue in human resource management and enterprise  organization beyond any specific technology questions, there are important  aspects that can be supported or even enabled by intelligent information  systems. Especially AI and related fields provide solutions for important parts of the overall KM problem. Activities underlying knowledge management in an organization can comprise detection of needs, construction, distribution, use and maintenance of the corporate memory. It demands abilities to manage disparate know-how and heterogeneous viewpoints, to make it accessible and suitable for adequate members of the organization. When the organization knowledge is distributed on several experts and documents in different locations all over the world, the Internet or an Intranet inside the organization and Web techniques can be a privileged means for acquisition, modelling, management of this distributed knowledge. Papers are welcome in any area concerning knowledge management or  corporate memory or organizational memory.

Examples of interesting topics (but the list is not exhaustive) are:
 

  • Scenarios of knowledge management
  • User-centered approaches for KM & OM
