CALL FOR PAPERS
KNOWLEDGE MANAGEMENT AND KNOWLEDGE DISTRIBUTION
THROUGH THE INTERNET
at the KAW-99
(Twelth Workshop on Knowledge Acquisition, Modeling, and Management)
Voyager Inn, Banff, Canada, October 16-22, 1999)
TRACK DESCRIPTION
Knowledge Management 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.
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".
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, corporate memory and knowledge distribution via
Internet / Intranet. Examples of interesting topics are:
Enterprise modeling
Dimensions of knowledge management: organization,
competence,methodology...
Artificial Intelligence methods or techniques for construction of
computational corporate memories (knowledge bases, case bases, intelligent
documentary systems, agent-based systems...)
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
WWW-based repositories for sharable ontologies and reusable
problem-solving methods
WWW-based terminology servers
Knowledge management for software development
Software development for knowledge management systems
Assessment of concrete applications for knowledge management

SUBMISSION OF PAPERS
Draft papers (up to 20 pages) should be sent electronically to Rob

the workshop will be expected to help with the refereeing of papers
submitted by other individuals.
Submission and review of papers, and coordination of all aspects of the
meeting, will be through the Internet. The proceedings will be
published on the World Wide Web and the only form of submission is
HTML. The paper should be converted to a single HTML file, not split by
section. For LaTeX, use the switch: latex2html -split 0 to achieve
this. Please do not use style sheets.
To submit a paper, simply e-mail the corresponding URL to

as possible in format to that required for the final proceedings. See
the final submission format for details of formats for both web and
paper versions.
