Over the past 20 years, research on knowledge management (KM) has witnessed
considerable attention throughout the world and has become a strategic
factor for all industries to survive in today’s dynamic global business
competition (Cerchione et al., 2020; Shashi et al., 2021). The concept of
knowledge has been analysed in literature from different perspectives
concerning what is knowledge (Newell, 1982), where it is embedded (Alavi &
Leidner, 2001; Dalkir, 2017), and how it can be classified (Polanyi, 1958;
Nonaka, 1994; Holsapple, 2005). Starting from these conceptualizations, the
interesting recent trends have been appeared such as impact of knowledge
management on performance (Centobelli et al., 2019), market knowledge
sourcing determinants (Endres et al., 2020), heterogeneous knowledge ties
(Maghssudipour et al., 2020), role of international joint venture in
managing and exploiting knowledge, (Zhang et al., 2018), KM and sustainable
innovation (Abbas & Sağsan, 2019). These trends have given unique
conceptualization in the KM domain dealing with efficient and effective KM
processes, as well as systematic strategies pertaining to knowledge
creation, storage, sharing, and execution (Castagna et al., 2020).
Despite the growing interest in KM and the number of review papers already
published, there is a scarcity of contributions analysing how to revisit
the existing theories of KM in light of the different 4.0 enabling
technologies occurring within companies (Centobelli et al., 2021), such as
the usage of blockchain and Industry 4.0 enabling technologies (e.g.,
additive manufacturing, augmented and virtual reality, industrial internet,
cloud computing, big data and analytics), which enable to tackle
disruptions and achieve organizational resilience. Machine learning,
telecommuting and smart working paradigms are the pillars that are boosting
the growth of organizations. Drawing on KM theories we encourage papers
that examine digital knowledge management (DKM) domain, employ original
methodologies, and offer interesting theoretical and empirical contribution
to this research theme. The potential topics for this special issue may
include, but are not limited to:
• KM and learning strategies in the 4.0 transition
• KM and big data-driven decision-making
• KM and analytics for collaborative value creation processes
• KM and machine/deep learning
• Revisitation of the existing theories of KM in light of the enabling
technologies (e.g., blockchain, augmented/virtual reality, industrial
internet)
• KM & DKM in education and e-learning
• Business models for DKM
• DKM in manufacturing and service industries
• DKM in public and private companies
• DKM in large firms, SMEs and startups
• DKM in individual firms and networks
• DKM in universities and R&D projects
• DKM for organizational resilience and responsiveness
• DKM in social response to pandemic and crisis
• DKM, smart working and agile paradigms
• Knowledge management systems (KMSs) supporting digital transformation
• Knowledge-based learning systems supporting 4.0
• Ethics in KM in the era of digital transformation
Authors working in safety science across industries are encouraged to
submit papers on new advances in safety science research, knowledge
translation and mobilization.

Special Issue on
Enterprise Architectures in the IoT Era
- Challenges, Solutions, and Recommendations -
https://www.springer.com/journal/10586/updates/19533562
Internet of Things (IoT), one of the fastest growing Information and
Communication Technologies (ICT), is impacting organizations from all
perspectives (e.g., operational, legal, financial, and competitiveness)
forcing them to review their functional and non-functional practices.
According to the International Data Corporation (IDC), ``IoT spending will
increase by a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 13.6% from 2017 to
2022, reaching $1.2 trillion within the next four years. It is also
predicted 41 billion IoT devices by 2027 and 70% of automobiles will be
connected to the Internet by 2023.
To tap into the endless benefits and uses of IoT, the design principles and
foundations of organizations’ enterprise architectures are expected to
adjust to ensure a smooth integration of IoT into these architectures’
foundations namely organization, business, information, application, and
technology. Aiming at examining these foundations separately and then
collectively, this special issue will report about the latest advances and
developments in the dynamic field of enterprise architecture in the IoT
era. The special issue will cover issues like lack of techniques and
guidelines that would enable enterprises to integrate IoT into the life
cycle of designing, developing, and deploying enterprise architectures.
This integration should lead to a new generation of enterprise
architectures that would foster not only a deeper retrospect on the
involved interactive digital resources inside the life cycle covering data
collection, information analysis, knowledge reasoning and wisdom
strategies, but also a better understanding of potential threats as well as
the development of new ways of aligning business and ICT resources together
to improve the competitiveness of the enterprise in the background of the
Artificial Intelligence (AI) trend.
Whilst, on the one hand, IoT enacts many opportunities that enterprises
could tap into, there are also obstacles that could undermine these
opportunities, on the other hand. Some of these obstacles are lack of
standards that cover both enterprise architecture and IoT, security holes
that potentially exist in IoT devices making them questionable in terms of
trust, security, and privacy, IoT limitations like silo restriction,
computational capabilities, lack of semantic technologies that should
describe IoT in a machine-understandable manner, just to mention some.
Topics of Interest
Topics for discussions in this special issue include, but are not limited
to:
* Standards for IoT-based enterprise architecture.
* Enterprise architecture for Industry 4.0.
* Fog/Cloud collaboration in enterprise architecture (F2F, F2C, C2C)
* Data science for IoT-based enterprise architecture.
* Semantic technologies for IoT-based enterprise architecture.
* Agentification of IoT-based enterprise architecture.
* Interoperability inside and between IoT-based enterprise architecture.
* Guidelines and best practices for IoT-based enterprise architecture
* Privacy, trust, and security of IoT-based enterprise architecture.
* Context management and awareness for IoT-based enterprise architecture
* Case studies related to IoT-based enterprise architecture.

April 25-29, 2022, Brno, Czech Republic
<http://phuselab.di.unimi.it/GMLR2022> http://phuselab.di.unimi.it/GMLR2022
MOTIVATIONS AND TOPICS
======================
The ACM Symposium on Applied Computing (SAC 2022) has been a primary
gathering forum for applied computer scientists, computer engineers,
software engineers, and application developers from around the world. SAC
2022 is sponsored by the ACM Special Interest Group on Applied Computing
(SIGAPP), and will be held in Brno, Czech Republic. The technical track on
Graph Models for Learning and Recognition (GMLR) is the first edition and is
organized within SAC 2022. Graphs have gained a lot of attention in the
pattern recognition community thanks to their ability to encode both
topological and semantic information. Encouraged by the success of CNNs, a
wide variety of methods have redefined the notion of convolution for graphs.
These new approaches have in general enabled effective training and achieved
in many cases better performances than competitors, though at the detriment
of computational costs. Typical examples of applications dealing with
graph-based representation are: scene graph generation, point clouds
classification, and action recognition in computer vision; text
classification, inter-relations of documents or words to infer document
labels in natural language processing; forecasting traffic speed, volume or
the density of roads in traffic networks, whereas in chemistry researchers
apply graph-based algorithms to study the graph structure of
molecules/compounds.
This track intends to focus on all aspects of graph-based representations
and models for learning and recognition tasks. GMLR spans, but is not
limited to, the following topics:
- Graph Neural Networks: theory and applications
- Deep learning on graphs
- Graph or knowledge representational learning
- Graphs in pattern recognition
- Graph databases and linked data in AI
- Benchmarks for GNN
- Dynamic, spatial and temporal graphs
- Graph methods in computer vision
- Human behavior and scene understanding
- Social networks analysis
- Data fusion methods in GNN
- Efficient and parallel computation for graph learning algorithms
- Reasoning over knowledge-graphs
- Interactivity, explainability and trust in graph-based learning
- Probabilistic graphical models
- Biomedical data analytics on graphs
Authors of selected top papers of this track will be asked to publish an
extended version in a Special Issue of a Journal (the journal will be
announced soon).
