W. on Data Warehousing and Knowledge Discovery from Sensors and Streams with KAIS Spec Issue Datum: Fri, 13 Mar 2009 03:09:24 -0500 Von: Alfredo Cuzzocrea <cuzzocrea(a)si.deis.unical.it> Antwort an: Alfredo Cuzzocrea <cuzzocrea(a)si.deis.unical.it> An: AISWORLD Information Systems World Network <isworld(a)lyris.isworld.org> Call for Papers --------------- First International Workshop on Data Warehousing and Knowledge Discovery from Sensors and Streams (DKSS 2009) (http://si.deis.unical.it/cuzzocrea/DKSS2009/) in conjunction with the 5th International Conference on Distributed Computing in Sensor Systems (DCOSS 2009) (DCOSS 2009) (http://www.dcoss.org/index.php), June 8-10 2009, Marina Del Rey, California, USA. Selected papers from the workshop will be invited for submission to a special issus of Knowledge and Information Systems (http://www.springer.com/computer/information+systems/journal/10115), Springer (http://www.springer.com/?SGWID=5-102-0-0-0) Workshop Chair -------------- Alfredo Cuzzocrea (http://si.deis.unical.it/cuzzocrea/), ICAR-CNR and University of Calabria, Italy Aim and Scope ------------- During last years, the issue of effectively and efficiently supporting data warehousing and knowledge discovery from sensor networks, and, more generally, data stream sources, which can be reasonably intended as a meaningfully generalization of the former kind of networks, is gaining a more and more great deal of interest from the data warehousing and knowledge discovery research community. Main research issues in this scientific field arise from the clear and well-recognized unsuitability of traditional data warehousing and knowledge discovery methodologies, techniques and algorithms in dealing with the new challenges posed by sensor network data and, more generally, data streams. Indeed, traditional approaches are meant for multi-step methodologies and techniques, and multi-scan algorithms, which cannot be straightforwardly applied to sensor network data and data streams, due to well-known limitations such as bounded memory, online/timely data processing, need for one-pass techniques, energy consumption issues etc. Starting from these limitations, a plethora of data warehousing and knowledge discovery methodologies, techniques and algorithms have been proposed during these last years, and, simultaneously, a more and more large number of research events have focused their attention to this leading research challenge. Following this actual trend and the previous successful related event represented by the book Intelligent Techniques for Warehousing and Mining Sensor Network Data (http://si.deis.unical.it/~cuzzocrea/SensorBook2007/), the First International Workshop on Data Warehousing and Knowledge Discovery from Sensors and Streams, which will be held in Marina Del Rey, CA, USA, during June 8-10, 2009, in conjunction with the 5th International Conference on Distributed Computing in Sensor Systems (DCOSS 2009) (http://www.dcoss.org/index.php), will provide a leading forum for researchers and practitioners interested in data warehousing and knowledge discovery from sensor network data and data streams, to meet and exchange preliminary ideas and mature results, with emphasis on both the theoretical and practical point of view. The First International Workshop on Data Warehousing and Knowledge Discovery from Sensors and Streams will address all topics of data warehsouing and knowledge discovery from sensor network data and data streams, including: - Foundations of Warehousing Sensor-Network-Data/Data-Streams - Foundations of Knowledge Discovery from Sensor-Network-Data/Data-Streams - Theories for Warehousing Sensor-Network-Data/Data-Streams - Theories for Knowledge Discovery from Sensor-Network-Data/Data-Streams - Methodologies for Warehousing Sensor-Network-Data/Data-Streams - Methodologies for Knowledge Discovery from Sensor-Network-Data/Data-Streams - Techniques for Warehousing Sensor-Network-Data/Data-Streams - Techniques for Knowledge Discovery from Sensor-Network-Data/Data-Streams - Algorithms for Warehousing Sensor-Network-Data/Data-Streams - Algorithms for Knowledge Discovery from Sensor-Network-Data/Data-Streams - Integration Techniques for Warehousing Sensor-Network-Data/Data-Streams - Mediators for Warehousing Sensor-Network-Data/Data-Streams - ETL for Sensor-Network-Data/Data-Streams - OLAP for Sensor-Network-Data/Data-Streams - OLAM for Sensor-Network-Data/Data-Streams - BI for Sensor-Network-Data/Data-Streams - Distributed Warehousing Sensor-Network-Data/Data-Streams - Real-Time Warehousing Sensor-Network-Data/Data-Streams - Load-Balancing Issues in Distributed and Real-Time Warehousing Sensor-Network-Data/Data-Streams - Classification from Sensor-Network-Data/Data-Streams - Clustering from Sensor-Network-Data/Data-Streams - Association Rule Mining from Sensor-Network-Data/Data-Streams - Outlier Detection from Sensor-Network-Data/Data-Streams - Machine Learning from Sensor-Network-Data/Data-Streams - Statistical Learning from Sensor-Network-Data/Data-Streams - Distributed Knowledge Discovery from Sensor-Network-Data/Data-Streams - Real-Time Knowledge Discovery from Sensor-Network-Data/Data-Streams - Scalable Knowledge Discovery from Sensor-Network-Data/Data-Streams - Feature Selection Techniques for Sensor-Network-Data/Data-Streams - Dimensionality Reduction Techniques for Sensor-Network-Data/Data-Streams - Concept Drifting Problems for Sensor-Network-Data/Data-Streams - Change Detection Techniques for Sensor-Network-Data/Data-Streams - Knowledge Acquisition Models and Techniques for Sensor-Network-Data/Data-Streams - Knowledge Visualization Models and Techniques for Sensor-Network-Data/Data-Streams - Knowledge Provisioning Models and Techniques for Sensor-Network-Data/Data-Streams - Knowledge Fusion Models and Techniques for Sensor-Network-Data/Data-Streams - Knowledge Reasoning Models and Techniques for Sensor-Network-Data/Data-Streams - Spatio-Temporal Knowledge Discovery from Sensor-Network-Data/Data-Streams - Location-Aware Knowledge Discovery from Sensor-Network-Data/Data-Streams - Knowledge Discovery from Uncertain Sensor-Network-Data/Data-Streams - Knowledge Discovery from Incomplete Sensor-Network-Data/Data-Streams - Knowledge Discovery from Probabilistic Sensor-Network-Data/Data-Streams - Knowledge Discovery from Multiple Sensor-Network-Data/Data-Streams - Adaptive Knowledge Discovery Models and Techniques from Sensor-Network-Data/Data-Streams - Resource-Aware Algorithms for Large-Scale Scalable Data Warehsouing and Knowledge Discovery from Sensor-Network-Data/Data-Streams - Advanced Techniques for Efficient Scalable Knowledge Discovery from Sensor-Network-Data/Data-Streams (e.g., Histograms and Summaries over Sensor-Network-Data/Data-Streams, Semantics-based Compression of Sensor-Network-Data/Data-Streams, Correlation Discovery Techniques for Sensor-Network-Data/Data-Streams etc) - Applications of Warehousing Sensor-Network-Data/Data-Streams - Applications of Knowledge Discovery from Sensor-Network-Data/Data-Streams Workshop Location ----------------- Marina Del Rey, California, USA.

[Fwd: [isworld] UbiqUM 2009 - call for papers]
by Gustaf Neumann 12 Mar '09

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [isworld] UbiqUM 2009 - call for papers Datum: Thu, 12 Mar 2009 12:33:25 -0500 Von: Tsvi Kuflik <tsvika-k(a)bezeqint.net> Antwort an: Tsvi Kuflik <tsvika-k(a)bezeqint.net> An: AISWORLD Information Systems World Network <isworld(a)lyris.isworld.org> Ubiquitous User Modeling 2009 (UbiqUM 2009) (co-located with UMAP'09) UbiqUM 2009 will be the 7th International Workshop on Ubiquitous User Modelling. It will take place in Trento, Italy on Jne 22nd, 2009, as part of UMAP 2009. http://www.u2m.org/ubiqum2009/ Background and Motivation: In today's information world, small personal computerized devices, such as PDAs, smart phones and other smart appliances, become widely available and essential tools in many situations. The ongoing penetration of computers into everyday life leads to so-called ubiquitous computing environments, where computational power and networking capabilities are available (and used) everywhere to support the environment�s �inhabitants�. The strive of providing personal services to users made user modeling capability an essential part of any ubiquitous application. Ubiquitous user modelling (UbiqUM) describes ongoing modeling and exploitation of user behaviour with a variety of systems that share their user models. These shared user models can either be used for mutual or for individual adaptation goals. UbiqUM differs from generic user modelling by three additional concepts: ongoing modeling, ongoing sharing and ongoing exploitation. Systems that share their user models will improve the coverage, the level of detail, and the reliability of the integrated user models and thus allow better functions of adaptation. UbiqUM implies new challenges of interchangeability, scalability, scrutability and privacy. The workshop will focus on 2 topics: 1. User modelling in mobile and ubiquitous computing � collecting user information in a ubiquitous environment and converting it into meaningful user modelling data. This includes sub-topics, such as acquisition of distributed and context-aware user models; user modeling in intelligent environments; ubiquitous user modeling for entertainment and cultural heritage; pervasive and wearable user interfaces; privacy, security and trust in ubiquitous user modelling. 2. User model integration � combining the data acquired by various ubiquitous devices and systems. This includes topics, such as overcoming syntactic and semantic heterogeneity of distributed user models; conflict resolution in ubiquitous user modeling; user model representation, inferences with user and context models; spatial and temporal reasoning for ubiquitous user modeling; semantic web approaches and ontologies for ubiquitous user modelling, ontology mapping and alignment. Objectives: 1.To foster interaction and exchange of ideas within the UbiqUM Community. 2.To establish a research agenda in the area of UbiqUM by mutual discussion of the challenges for UbiqUM research issues by the research community. 3.To provide an opportunity for information exchange and possible future research collaboration within the UbiqUM Community Submission: Submitted papers should be up to 4 pages long, in LNCS format, by email, to ubiqum(a)googlemail.com. They should suggest novel research ideas in the workshop areas of interest, and preferably describe initial research results (if there are any). Important Dates: �Paper submission deadline: Friday, March 27th, 2007 �Notification of acceptance: Wednesday, April 15th, 2007 �Camera-ready papers due: Friday, April 24th, 2007 �UbiqUM 2009 workshop: June 22th, 2008 Workshop Format: The suggested workshop will be a full day workshop in the following format: 09:00 � 10:00 An invited talk about state of the art in ubiquitous user modelling 10:30 � 12:30 First session with short presentations of papers/ideas (about 10 minuts per speaker), 12:30 � 14:00, Demonstration and posters session of ubiquitous user modelling applications (during lunch break), 14:00 � 15:30 Second session discussion of the 1st sesseion papers, forming list of research topics, breaking to small groups discussions of the selected topics, 15:45 � 17:00, Closing discussion about research directions of ubiquitous user modelling and possible collaboration among the workshop participants in pursuing the defined research directions. * At least one of the authors of an accepted paper is expected to register to the workshop (separately than IUI conference), attend the workshop and present the paper/poster/demo.

August 19-21, - Aachen, Germany First Workshop on Virtual Worlds for academic, organizational, and life-long learning (ViWo Workshop 2009) Online Information: **http://www.iicm.tugraz.at/ViWo/ViWo2009Workshop <http://www.iicm.edu/ViWo2009>** This CfP is also available as PDF: http://www.iicm.tugraz.at/ViWo2009Workshop/ViWo2009-CfP.pdf This workshop will take place during the ICWL 2009 in Aachen, Germany (August 19-21) as a special program item. The Workshop ViWo 2009 provides an interdisciplinary forum for international scientists and practitioners to discuss various aspects of learning and training in virtual worlds. The 8th International Conference on International Conference on Web-based Learning, ICWL2009, will be jointly organized by Hong Kong Web Society, RWTH Aachen University, and Max-Planck-Institute for Computer Science. ICWL is an annual international conference on web-based learning. Background Our society of the 21st century makes great demands on its members caused by rapid developing and ever-changing political, social, economical and technological situations. Consequently, it is expected that members of the society keep pace with these mutable situations, adapt their skills and expertise. As a result, modern instructional design, learning goals and processes as well as appropriate learning environments must support the development of the aforementioned skills and expertises. Consequently, educational approaches have changed dramatically over time from less formal schooling in the agrarian society to remedial repetitive learning in the industrialization age to learning with an understanding in today’s knowledge society. Based on that, different modern educational strategies have been developed which includes aspects such as self-directed learning, collaborative learning, experiential-based learning and actively participating. Educational approaches have also been influenced by technology but have also increasingly applied technology over the last decades, such as motion pictures, radio, television, computers and other emerging information and communication technologies (ICT). Last year’s hype surrounding the virtual world “Second Life” has also generated significant interest in the education community. Although virtual worlds have been an active research topic for a long time, technology was not ready for complex application scenarios since recent years. New interesting and powerful platforms and tools, such as Second Life, Active Worlds, Multiverse, Open Croquet, OpenSim and Sun’s 3D Wonderland, have been emerged applicable to complement or even replace other knowledge transfer and learning settings. Modern virtual worlds are seen from an optimistic viewpoint as a disruptive and transformative technology. However, it still remains unclear to some extent where the real benefits and limitations of using virtual worlds as knowledge transfer and learning environments are when compared to more traditional methods. In order to avoid the same pitfalls of past e-learning solutions by just applying traditional learning approaches to a new technology, this special track is indented to offer a multidisciplinary platform which brings together international researchers from different organizations in order to share their experience with this technology. Topics We invite submissions of papers in the categories research, development, evaluation and best practices that deal with virtual worlds for academic, organizational, and life-long learning issues including, but not limited to: • Technological approaches, their limitations and how to overcome them • Virtual worlds and mobile learning • Virtual learning space design and architecture • Modern learning settings • Didactic and cognitive aspects • New learning and teaching activities • Interaction and behavior patterns • Distance and blended learning • Organizational learning, vocational training and certification • Academic learning, assessment and feedback • Collaborative and social learning • Mixed Virtual world and classroom learning • Virtual Laboratories and experiments • Knowledge Transfer and Collaboration • Artificial Intelligence Approaches • Usability and Human-Computer-Interaction Important Dates • April 30, 2009: Submission of the full papers (6 Pages) • Juni 15, 2009: Notification of acceptance • July 15, 2009: Registration • July 15, 2009: Camera ready version (6 Pages) • August 19-21 2009: ICWL 2009 Conference Submission Procedure File Types: Windows Word or PDF Language: English (British or US) Style Guides & Template: IMCL Template http://209.61.205.141/form/IMCL2009%20Template.doc • Replace Header with ”Conference ICWL 2009 August 19-21, 2009, Aachen, Germany” • Replace Footer with “ViWo Workshop 2009 http://www.iicm.tugraz.at/ViWo/ViWo2009Workshop” <http://www.iicm.tugraz.at/ViWo/ViWo2009Workshop%3F> Paper Submission System: https://www.easychair.org/login.cgi?conf=viwo2009workshop In case of problems or questions concerning the submission of papers, please contact the track chairs at ViWo2009(a)iicm.edu <mailto:ViWo2009@iicm.edu>.

[Fwd: [isworld] 2nd CfP: 4th International Workshop on Data Engineering Issues in E-Commerce and Services (DEECS 2009)]
by Gustaf Neumann 11 Mar '09

11 Mar '09

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [isworld] 2nd CfP: 4th International Workshop on Data Engineering Issues in E-Commerce and Services (DEECS 2009) Datum: Wed, 11 Mar 2009 12:41:58 -0500 Von: Joerg Leukel <joerg.leukel(a)uni-hohenheim.de> Antwort an: Joerg Leukel <joerg.leukel(a)uni-hohenheim.de> An: AISWORLD Information Systems World Network <isworld(a)lyris.isworld.org> ======================================================================== 2nd Call for Papers: 4th International Workshop on Data Engineering Issues in E-Commerce and Services (DEECS 2009) In conjunction with the 11th IEEE Conference on Commerce and Enterprise Computing (CEC 2009) July 20-23, 2009, Vienna, Austria http://www.ebusiness-unibw.org/wiki/Deecs2009 ++ Deadline for submission: March 16/23, 2009 ++ ++ Full papers, position papers, posters, and demos invited ++ ++ IEEE Computer Society Press proceedings ++ ++ Papers will be included in the IEEE Digital Library ++ ======================================================================== Workshop Theme ============== As part of their e-business activities, enterprises create, share, recombine, and process an ever increasing amount of data and documents that range from simple transactional data to complex business process definitions. In many respective processes, multiple spheres overlap, e.g., (1) inter- with intra-organizational data sources in collaborative processes, (2) master data with transactional data, (3) regular data with behavioral aspects of processes, or (4) facts with normative assertions. Since business entities are members of multiple value chains, same as data sources are often used in multiple contexts and processes, there are often conflicting requirements on the representation of such data. At the same time, enterprise computing infrastructures are currently transforming into service-oriented systems; this change has severe consequences as well as offers opportunities for the data management processes. All this in combination makes data engineering in e-commerce and service- oriented computing a very challenging task, already at the level of a single company but even more in value chains. Also, respective modeling choices may have long-lasting and far reaching impact, and affect (1) operational efficiency, (2) business process agility, (3) the range of analytical tasks for decision support, and (4) strategic options. Eventually, those choices determine the current and future degree of automation in content and process integration. While e-business standards in general help, standardization alone does not solve the problem. This is because yielding a consensual representation takes time, consumes resources, and constrains an entity�s ability to capture individual details. Moreover, the cost of implementing and enforcing the standards is sometimes prohibitive for small businesses. Proprietary representations, on the other hand, hamper interoperability, and complicate B2B integration. In service-oriented architectures (SOAs), this complexity is further increased by the behavioral dimension of e-business interactions, e.g., services choreography and orchestration. This workshop aims at providing a venue for discussion and the exchange of ideas on data and knowledge engineering issues in the dynamic environment of e-business, enterprise computing, and business services and transformation. The relation to CEC 2009 is that it addresses a core problem in enterprise computing. In the format of an interactive workshop, it focuses the intersection of three main areas: data engineering, knowledge engineering, and business process management. Topics ====== In particular, we are inviting full and short papers, posters, and hands-on demonstrations on the following topics: - Business data integration - Business data management - Business decision support - Business intelligence - Business modeling and analysis - Business process integration - Business process management - Business process monitoring - Business process intelligence - Case studies and applications - Corporate knowledge management - Customer relationship management (CRM) - Data-intensive decision support systems - E-commerce content - E-commerce standards - Enterprise application integration - E-procurement and e-sourcing - Folksonomies and collaborative tagging in business applications - Logistics data engineering - Ontologies and use of Semantic Web technology - Product data management - Product lifecycle management - Product specification standardization - Semantic business process management - Semantic Web Services - Sensors and actuators - Service-oriented architectures (SOAs) - Service-level agreements and their specification along and across value chains - Supply chain management - Ubiquitous / context-aware services - Web services Paper Submission and Publication ================================ We are inviting the submission of - full papers (up to 8 pages), - position papers (up to 5 pages), - posters (2-page extended abstracts or final posters), and - hands-on demonstrations (2-page descriptions of the demo) describing original research on the listed or related topics. Please follow the IEEE Computer Society Press Proceedings Author Guidelines to prepare your papers using the 8.5'' x 11'', two-column format. Submissions must be in the form of PDF documents using our electronic submission system, which is available at http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=deecs2009 At least one author is required to attend the workshop and present the work. Attendance of the workshop requires registration to the main CEC conference. Full papers will be published in the regular conference proceedings by the IEEE Computer Society Press and will be included in the IEEE Digital Library. Review Process ============== Each paper will typically be reviewed by three members of the Program Committee. Reviewers will score submissions according to their contribution, originality/novelty, technical depth/merit, and quality of presentation. For short position papers, clarity of exposition and the degree of innovation will be sufficient, while for full papers, a clear technical contribution is expected.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [isworld] CFP: Business Intelligence for the Real-Time Enterprise (BIRTE'09) Datum: Wed, 11 Mar 2009 00:35:46 -0500 Von: Malu Castellanos <malu.castellanos(a)hp.com> Antwort an: Malu Castellanos <malu.castellanos(a)hp.com> An: AISWORLD Information Systems World Network <isworld(a)lyris.isworld.org> CALL FOR PAPERS Third International Workshop on Business Intelligence for the Real-Time Enterprise (BIRTE 09) August 28, 2009 (tentative) In conjunction with VLDB�09 August 24-28, 2009, Lyon, France IMPORTANT DATES * Abstracts due: June 8, 2009 * Papers due: June 12, 2009 * Notification of acceptance: July 10, 2009 * Camera-ready copies: July 25, 2009 DESCRIPTION In today's competitive and highly dynamic environment, it has become critical to analyze data to understand how the business is performing, to predict outcomes and trends, and to improve the effectiveness of business processes underlying business operations. The traditional approach to reporting is no longer adequate, users now demand easy-to-use intelligent platforms and applications capable of analyzing real-time business data to provide insight and actionable information at the right time. The end goal is to improve the enterprise performance by better and timelier decision making, enabled by the availability of up-to-date, high quality information. As a response, the notion of "real-time enterprise" has emerged and is beginning to be recognized in the industry. Gartner defines it as "using up-to-date information, getting rid of delays, and using speed for competitive advantage is what the real-time enterprise is all about... Indeed, the goal of the real-time enterprise is to act on events as they happen." Although there has been progress in this direction and many companies are introducing products towards making this vision reality, there is still a long way to go. In particular, the whole lifecycle of business intelligence requires new techniques and methodologies capable of dealing with the new requirements imposed by the real-time enterprise. From the capturing of real-time business performance data to the injection of actionable information back into business processes, all the stages of the Business Intelligence (BI) cycle call for new algorithms and paradigms as the basis of new functionalities including dynamic integration of real-time data feeds from operational sources, evolution of ETL transformations and analytical models, and dynamic generation of adaptive real-time dashboards, just to name a few. The series of BIRTE workshops aims to provide a forum to discuss topics related to this emerging field and set research directions of business intelligence (BI) toward the vision of the real-time enterprise. Following the success of BIRTE 2006 held in Seoul, Korea in conjunction with VLDB 2006, and BIRTE 2008 held in Auckland, New Zealand in conjunction with VLDB 2008, submissions for research, position and experience papers on relevant topics are encouraged. TOPICS OF INTEREST Models, Architectures and Technologies for Real-time Enterprise Business Intelligence - Metadata management - Data quality and cleansing - BI over streaming data - Data capture in real-time - Performance and scalability - Real-time decision support - Tuning and management of the real-time data warehouse - Data warehouse evolution - ETL for the real-time data warehouse - Data mining and data analysis in real-time - Real-time Business Activity Monitoring (BAM) - Real-time OLAP - Real-time operational data stores - Staging - Visualization Applications of Real-time Enterprise Business Intelligence - Case studies - Pitfalls in applying BI tools to real-life problems - Lessons learned from large practical applications of real-time BI - Control of the real-time enterprise - Industrial experiences and challenges SUBMISSION GUIDELINES Papers should follow the LNCS format (see http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html for details).The first page must contain an abstract, a classification of the topic covered, preferably using the list of topics above, and an indication of the submission category (regular paper/position paper/industry paper). The length of a paper should not exceed 16 pages. Papers in PDF should be submitted electronically to the review web site https://cmt.research.microsoft.com/BIRTE2008/.

The problem all companies have is figuring out how to efficiently discover that knowledge, capture it, share it, and use it to gain competitive advantage in the marketplace. This article describes a simulation model designed to provide small to midsized enterprises (SME) with a means to understand the impact of barriers and value accelerators on the flow of organizational information. The simulation model reports the throughput of information, its timeliness, and provides for sensitivity analysis of the parameters describing a strategy.

The purpose of this study is to investigate perceptions, nature, and extent of knowledge sharing among graduate students in Singapore. A questionnaire was used for data collection, and 183 students from two public universities in Singapore participated in this study. The study suggests that academic institutions should review their instruction approaches.

Meloche, University of Wollongong, Australia Helen Hasan, University of Wollongong, Australia David Willis, BlueScope Steel Research, Australia Charmaine C. Pfaff, University of Wollongong, Australia Yan Qi, University of Wollongong, Australia Wikis have a growing reputation on the open Internet for producing evolving stores of shared knowledge; however, such democratic systems are often treated with suspicion within corporations for management, legal, social, and other reasons. This article describes a field study of a corporate wiki that has been developed to capture and make available, organizational knowledge in a large manufacturing company as an initiative of their knowledge management (KM) program. As this approach to KM is a controversial and rapidly changing phenomenon, a q-methodology research approach is selected to uncover employees' subjective attitudes to the wiki. The authors use activity theory to provide a deeper interpretation of the findings of the q-study. This article also demonstrates how meaningful and rigorous research on this new democratic direction of corporate KM should continue.

Allan, NASA Ames Research Center, USA Anthony A. Korolis, IBM Corporation, USA Terri L. Griffith, Santa Clara University, USA Transactive memory systems (TMS) support knowledge sharing and coordination in groups. TMS is enabled by the encoding, storage, retrieval, and communication of knowledge by domain experts. The NASA Ames Intelligent Robotics Group provides an example of how TMS theoretical boundaries are stretched in actual use. This group is characterized as being highly innovative as they routinely engage in field studies that are inherently difficult due to time and technology resource constraints. The authors provide an expanded view of TMS that includes the technology support system and possible further extensions to NASA's or other dynamic groups' practice.

This article explores the subject empirically through the study of how employees work with information and knowledge around a core business function-in this case a supply chain process. In order to do this, the organization needs to be viewed from a network perspective as it relates to specific business processes. Viewing the organization in this way enables the author to see how employees' preferred knowledge and information transfer mechanisms vary across the core process.

This article discusses the affect peer review processes and managerial/supervisory styles on job success, core values, and open-door policy environment for a quick tacit knowledge harvesting. This study directs future research towards evaluating possible objectives for utilization of KM technological resources, timeline for effective codification of tacit knowledge, and responsibilities for handling resources.
