CFP: Special Issue on Knowledge and Competence Management - Developing Enterprise Solutions

JOURNAL: Information Systems Frontiers, JCR IF: 0.761

------------

Scope, Purpose and Themes:

Knowledge Management (KM) initiatives promote the management, i.e. the creation, storage and sharing, of knowledge assets within an organization. The practical focus of this special issue is to bring together researchers, professionals and practitioners to present recent developments on the knowledge and competence management areas. KM focuses on techniques of managing a common base of organizational knowledge that allows organizational groups and functions to coordinate their efforts and share knowledge across time, function, discipline and business activities. In addition, knowledge may be geographically distributed and stored in a variety of different representations, e.g. tacit knowledge in managers’ minds, and structured information in distributed databases.

In the knowledge-based economy companies are facing systematic changes. New research topics and competencies have been developed in different knowledge domains. Management trends and web techniques such as knowledge acquisition and elicitation, competency mapping methods, enterprise web management and semantic web technologies are shaping the companies of the future, namely their business expertise, workflow and activities. This special issue aims to present state-of-art research challenges and corporate practical results in applying KM principles to information governance, competence management, and Intranet building and collaboration enhancement.

The main purpose of this special issue is to bring together a coherent set of research themes and corporate studies designed for the following areas: knowledge and competence management, knowledge engineering foundations and trends, including ontologies and semantic web technologies, workflow management systems, organisational memories, learning systems, KM initiatives and implementation, intranet modelling, intranet building and related cloud computing approaches. In this context, we welcome contributions about, but not limited to, the following themes:

Knowledge Management and Engineering - KM foundations - Web-based KM - Knowledge Intensive Organisations - Competence and talent management - Ontology Engineering

Workflow Management Systems - Information Technology (IT) Governance Model - Business Process Modelling - Workflow and KM Systems - Business Process Management and IT Governance
