CALL FOR PAPERS

6th Conference Professional Knowledge Management - From Knowledge to Action WM2011: February 21-23, 2011, Innsbruck, Austria http://www.wm-konferenz2011.org/indexEN.html --- Third Conference Workshop on Integrated Knowledge Management Systems (IKMS2011) http://www.ebs.edu/index.php?id=ikms2011

BACKGROUND AND MOTIVATION OF THE WORKSHOP: Information systems supporting knowledge management (KM), in brief knowledge management systems (KMS), are subject of research and practical application since more than a decade. Nevertheless, analyses show that user acceptance and usage of KMS vary significantly in different settings, ranging from high utilization to complete rejection. Empirical findings suggest that integration is a key success factor for the adaptation and efficient usage of KMS. Integration in this context has several dimensions: Firstly, it means to arrange and connect the different technical functionalities of a KMS or its components to deliver a consistent and integrated user experience. In addition to this, the KMS should be integrated soundly into the application landscape of the respective organization. Secondly, it means to embed a KMS into the business processes as seamlessly as possible so that users perceive it as a helpful, daily used tool (instead of a separate, isolated system). Thirdly, in a networked economy integration means to connect KMS across organizational boundaries. The ideally integrated KMS offers a rich set of well orchestrated functionalities, is imperceptible as a separate system because it is fully embedded into daily work processes and is seamlessly connected within value network surrounding its host organization. The workshop aims to provide a forum to discuss issues and exchange experiences about the successful implementation of KMS, where integration is one important line of thought which can be complemented by other important success factors.

TOPICS: Topics of papers submitted can be, but are not limited to: - Integration of different kinds of information and application systems within KMS - Comparison of traditional systems supporting knowledge management with social software applications - Integration of social media applications and Web 2.0 technologies within KMS as well as for community management - The role of personalization and search as integrating technologies - The integrating role of semantic technologies - Usage of modern software technologies (e.g., SOA, Web-Services) to integrate KMS - The interplay of KMS applications and generic KM processes - Embedding of KMS into business processes - Modeling KMS as socio-technical systems aiming at an holistic knowledge management solution - Establishing knowledge-intensive corporate cultures as a prerequisite for successful KMS - User-generated content and services in KMS - User-driven semantic integration of KMS (collaborative semantic tagging)

ADDRESSED AUDIENCE: The target group includes researchers and practitioners in the fields of knowledge management systems. Besides paper presentations, this workshop offers organized and open spaces for targeted discussions. It aims at offering a forum for the presentation and discussion of new directions and interesting work in progress.
