Forwarded message from [Rose.Dieng@sophia.inria.fr (Rose Dieng)] sent originally on Fri, 10 Mar 2000 10:20:55 +0100: : Dear colleagues, : : Please accept our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this call. : Please post forward to all your interested colleagues. : : ------------------------------------------------------------------- : You can also find the call on : : http://www-sop.inria.fr/acacia/WORKSHOPS/ECAI2000-OM/call.html : ------------------------------------------------------------------- : : Call for paper of : : ECAI'2000 : : Workshop on Knowledge Management and : : Organizational Memories : : Knowledge Management (KM) is one of the key progress factors in : organizations. : It involves explicit and persistent representation of knowledge of : (geographically) dispersed groups ofpeople in the organization, so as to : improve the activities of the organization. Although KM is anissue 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. : : Topics of interest include: : -------------------------------------- : : - 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 : - 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 : : Important dates: : ------------------------ : : Submission deadline: March 15, 2000 : Notification of acceptance: April 17, 2000 : Camera (Web)-ready: June 2, 2000 : Workshop: August 21-22 2000 : : Submission Procedure: : ----------------------------------- : : Contributions are invited in the form of a full paper (max. 20 pages). The : title page should include name, affiliation, and e-mail address of the : contributor. Papers will be judged on their contribution to the discussion, : and : some will be selected for presentation. Papers have to be submitted : electronically (in PostScript or HTML or pdf) to the contact persons: : Rose.Dieng@sophia.inria.fr and nada.matta@univ-troyes.fr. The proceedings will : be published on the WWW and as a report. : : We plan to schedule a demonstration session during the workshop. So : demonstrations (industrial or research prototypes) are also welcome. : : Organizing committee: : --------------------------------- : : Stefan Decker : Address: Universität Karlsruhe, Institut AIFB, D-76128 Karlsruhe, Germany : Phone: +49 721-608 6589 : Fax: +49 721-693 717 : E-mail: stefan@db.stanford.edu : WWW: http://www.aifb.uni-karlsruhe.de/~sde : : Rose Dieng (Co-Chair) : Address: INRIA Acacia Project, 2004 route des Lucioles, BP 93 : 06902 Sophia-Antipolis Cedex FRANCE : Phone: +33 4 92 38 78 10 : Fax: +33 4 92 38 77 83 : E-mail: Rose.Dieng@sophia.inria.fr : : Knut Hinkelmann : Address: Insiders GmbH : Luxemburger Str.5 : D-67657 Kaiserslautern : Phone: +49-631-36699-37 : Fax: +49-631-36699-11 : E-mail: k.hinkelmann@insiders.de : : Ann Macintosh : Address: International Teledemocracy Centre : Napier University : 10 Colinton Road : Edinburgh, EH10 5DT : United Kingdom : Phone: ++44 (0) 131 455 2421 : FAax +44 (0) 131 455 2282 : E-mail: A.Macintosh@napier.ac.uk : URL: http://www.teledemocracy.org : : Nada Matta (Co-Chair) : Address: Université de Technologie de Troyes (GSID/Tech-CICO) : 12, rue Marie Curie BP. 2060, : 10010 Troyes Cedex France : Tel: (+33) 3 25 71 58 65 : E-mail:nada.matta@univ-troyes.fr : WWW: http://www.inria.fr/acacia/personnel/nmatta/nada.html : : Juergen Mueller : Deutsche Telekom AG : Technologiezentrum Darmstadt FE14k : D-64307 Darmstadt : GERMANY : Phone: +49 6151 83 5682 : Fax: +49 6151 83 4124 : E-mail : muellerhj@tzd.telekom.de (Telekom AG) : DrHJM@computer.org (Überall) : : Agostino Poggi : Address: Dipartimento di Ingegneria dell?Informazione : University of Parma : Parco Area delle Scienze, 181A : 43100, Parma, Italy : Phone : +39 0521 905728 : FAX +39 0521 905723 : E-mail : poggi@ce.unipr.it : URL: http://www.ce.unipr.it/people/poggi : : Ulrich Reimer : Address: Swiss Life Information Systems Research Group Postfach : CH-8022 Zurich, Switzerland : Phone: +41 1 7114061 : FAX: +41 1 7116913 : E-mail: Ulrich.Reimer@swisslife.ch : : Carla Simone : Dipartimento di Informatica - Universita' di Torino : Corso Svizzera 185 - 10149 Torino (Italy) : phone: +39 011 6706736 : fax: +39 011 751603 : e-mail: simone@di.unito.it : : Steffen Staab : Address: Institute AIFB, : Karlsruhe University, : D-76128 Karlsruhe, Germany : Phone: +49-721-6084751 : Fax: +49-721-693717 : E-mail: staab@aifb.uni-karlsruhe.de : WWW: http://www.aifb.uni-karlsruhe.de/~sst : : Program committee: : ----------------------------- : : Hans Akkermans, University of Twente (NL) : Jean-Paul Barthès (UTC-Compiègne, France) : John Debenham, University of Technology, (Sydney, Australia) : John Domingue, Open University, (UK) : Jean-Louis Ermine, CEA, (Paris, France) : Jérôme Euzenat, INRIA Rhône-Alpes (Grenoble, France) : Gertjan van Heijst, CIBIT (Utrecht, The Netherlands) : Robert Jaspers, Boeing, (USA) : Dirk Mahling, University of Pittsburgh (USA) : Frank Maurer, University of Calgary (Canada) : Enrico Motta, Open University (UK) : Philippe Pérez, ATOS (France) : Joel Quinteton, LIRMM (France) : Myriam Ribière, SRI (California, USA) : David G.
