ECAI'2002 Workshop on Knowledge Management and
Organizational Memory
July 21, Lyon
July 21-26, 2002 Lyon
Submission deadline: March 15, 2002
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
