CALL FOR PAPERS
AIMS AND SCOPE:
================
To succed in a world characterisied by the accelerating pace of the
"internet age", organisations must efficiently leverage their most
valuable and underleveraged resource: the intellectual capital of
their highly educated, skilled, and experienced employees. The

knowledge that ages rapidly in a market place brimming with
innovation. PAKM2004 addresses all aspects of Knowledge Management
and their role in next-generation business solutions. We seek original
contributions in the triangle of business and organization sciences,
cognitive science, and computer science that represent a true
advancement beyond the state-of-the-art of Knowledge Management:
a.. Building and maintaining knowledge inventories
- knowledge directories
- automatic creation of semantic annotations
- skill management
b.. Collaboration and knowledge sharing
- social and cultural aspects of knowledge sharing communities
- collaboration platforms
- integration of processes across organizational boundaries
c.. Capturing and securing knowledge
- knowledge capturing within business processes
- lessons learned and debriefing
- organizational memories
d.. Knowledge utilization
- content-oriented search through ontology-based sematic annotations
- integration of knowledge and business processes
- graphical user interfaces for retrieving and visualizing knowledge
e.. Developing new knowledge
- innovation management
- ontology learning and development
- knowledge mining (from data, text and the Web)
f.. Measurement
