Call for papers:

 Knowledge Management (KM) is one of the key progress factors in organizations.  It aims at capturing explicit and tacit knowledge of an organization in order to facilitate the access, sharing, and reuse of that knowledge as well as creation of new knowledge and organizational learning. KM must be guided by a strategic vision to fulfill its primary organizational objectives: improving knowledge sharing and cooperative work inside the organization; disseminating best practices; improving relationships with the external world; preserving past knowledge of the organization for reuse; improving the quality of projects and innovations; anticipating the evolution of the external environment; and preparing for unexpected events and managing urgency and crisis situations.

One approach for KM consists of building a corporate memory or organizational memory (OM). Several techniques can be considered, according to the type of organization, its needs and its culture: knowledge-based approaches, document-based approaches, workflow-based approaches, CBR-based approaches, CSCW and cooperative approaches, ontology-based approaches, corporate Semantic Webs, Web-based approaches, agent-based approaches, distributed OMs, etc.

Several scenarios of KM can be tackled through OMs: project memory, skills management, communities of practice, strategic or technological watch, e-learning, e-government, etc. The workshop aims at gathering researchers from multiple disciplines, industrial participants and students in order to discuss models, methodologies, techniques and application dealing with these scenarios and approaches.
 

Papers are welcome in any area concerning knowledge management.
Examples of interesting topics are:
