5th Conference Professional Knowledge Management: Experiences and Visions WM2009: March 25-27, 2009, Alte Spital/Landhaus, Solothurn, Switzerland http://www.wm-konferenz2009.org --- Second Conference Workshop on Integrated Knowledge Management Systems (IKMS2009) http://www.ebs.edu/index.php?id=ikms2009

CALL FOR PAPERS

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 content management, competence management, and collaboration management within KMS - The integrating role of semantic technologies - The role of personalization and search as integrating technologies - Usage of new software technologies (e.g. SOA, WebServices) to integrate KMS - Embedding of KMS into business processes - The interplay of KMS applications and generic KM processes - Modeling KMS as socio-technical systems (i.e. including individuals and organizations and related elements) - 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) - Integration of KMS with other information systems (e.g. ERP systems, business intelligence systems, portals)

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.
