Practical Aspects
of Knowledge Management

************* FIRST CALL FOR PAPERS *************
Submission due

Conference:

to 12 November 2010
Workshops:

AIMS AND SCOPE
==============
The PAKM Conference Series offers a communication forum and meeting
ground
for practitioners and researchers. The conference focus is on
developing
and deploying advanced business solutions for the management of
knowledge
in organizations and other communities that can benefit from its
methods.
This year's conference we will pay particular attention to the
innovations
on the interaction between Business, Computer Science, Information
Systems,
and Library and Information Science.
PAKM is a forum for people to share their views, to exchange novel
ideas,
to develop new insights, and to envision, propose and demonstrate new
kinds
of solutions and new organizational methods and/or tools to Knowledge
Management
problems.
Management in companies deals with many things: people, energy,
materials,
etc. The management integrates them as a whole system and organizes the
flow between the parts efficiently. In some companies, the same is done
with knowledge. What methods are available and how well this
integration
of knowledge is understood?
Libraries and universities are examples of organizations where
knowledge
plays a major role within management. What methods are available to
integrate
knowledge (e.g., curricula, expertise, centers of excellence, programs)
with people and other resources in libraries and universities?
The topics will cover relevant and applicable aspects of knowledge
management.
We invite practitioners and researchers from all over the world to
submit
papers. We are looking forward to a conference which will address a
wide
spectrum of topics from a variety of perspectives.
We seek original contributions in the business and organization
sciences,
cognitive science, library and information science, information systems
and computer science that represent a true advancement beyond the
state-of-the-art
of Knowledge Management.
Business and organization sciences provide the overall framework for
developing
a knowledge management approach with a focus on the business aspects
rather
than on information technology aspects.
Computer science provides the tools needed to build the information
systems
that are often required to make certain aspects of a knowledge
management
solution work. Cognitive science helps to design knowledge management
solutions
in line with the cognitive capabilities of the people involved and
optimally
embedded in their work context.
Library and information science analyzes how to organize and understand
knowledge for the benefit of the users.
IMPORTANT DATES
===============
Papers Due:
7-Apr-10
Notification of acceptance: 28-May-10
Camera-ready Due:

SUBMISSIONS
===========
We wish to encourage the submission of contributions that espouse an
interdisciplinary
approach, which will therefore be favored over one-dimensional papers.
Apart from a clear description of the real-world problems they address,
papers must point out the business and/or the scientific benefits of
the
suggested solutions for a knowledge management task of an organization
or community. Furthermore, papers should emphasize the novel aspects of
the suggested approach.
Submissions will be anonymous and subject to blind reviews.
