Workshop Summary :
--------------------------------
Workshop on Knowledge Management and
Organizational Memories
(Submisson deadline : February 15, 2001)
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:
- Identification and analysis of a company's knowledge-intensive work
processes (e.g., product design or strategic planning). Knowledge
Engineering and Enterprise Modeling techniques can contribute to this
topic. The analysis of
information flow and involved knowledge sources allows to identify
shortcomings of business processes, and to specify requirements on
potential IT support.
- In an organization, know-how may relate to problem solving expertise
in functional disciplines, experiences of human resources, and project
experiences in terms of project management issues, design technical issues
and lessons learned. The coherent integration of this dispersed know-how
in
a corporation, aimed at enhancing its access and reuse, is called
"corporate memory" or "organizational memory" (OM). It is regarded as the
central prerequisite for IT support of Knowledge Management and is the
means for knowledge conservation, distribution, and reuse. An OM enables
organizational learning and continuous process improvement.
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
World Wide Web (WWW) 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 are:
--------------------------------------------------
- Dimensions of knowledge management: organization, competence,
methodology...
- Enterprise modeling
- Artificial Intelligence methods or techniques for construction of
computational corporate memories (knowledge bases, case bases, intelligent
documentary systems, agent-based systems...)
- Business Intelligence Solutions for KM
- Intranet Solutions for KM
- Document Management Solutions for KM
- MultiMedia solutions for KM
- Content Management solutions for KM
- Architectures for KM/OM systems
- Integration of formal and informal knowledge in KM/OM
- Integration of knowledge from different groups in an organization
- Knowledge sharing between different groups in an organization
(possibly via Internet/Intranet)
- Cooperative (possibly WWW-based) building, adaptation and evolution
of a corporate memory
- Building and Exploiting a Corporate Semantic Web
WWW-based repositories for sharable ontologies and reusable
problem-solving methods
- WWW-based terminology servers
- Assessment of concrete applications for knowledge management
- Case studies of building KM/OM in enterprises
- Active, context-dependent knowledge supply
