>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.
