Aims and scope of the conference
To succeed in the accelerating business pace of the "internet age",
companies must efficiently leverage their most valuable and
under-leveraged resource: the intellectual capital of their highly
educated, skilled, and experienced employees. The compression of
communication cycles and the omnipresence of information forces
enterprises to seek a faster return on knowledge - knowledge that
ages rapidly in a market place brimming with innovation. One of the
most important prerequisites in achieving this return is the
systematic management of the key success factor "knowledge" -
previously left to manage itself "somehow". Thus next-generation
business solutions must be focussed on supporting the creation of
value by adding knowledge-rich components as an integral part to
the work process. Therefore, an integrated approach is needed which
combines issues from a large array of fields, originating from
quite different areas such as business and organization sciences,
cognitive sciences, and computer science.
The PAKM Conference Series acknowledges the above situation and
offers a communication forum and meeting ground for practitioners
and researchers engaged in developing and deploying advanced
business solutions for the management of knowledge and intellectual
capital. We seek attendance and contributions from practitioners,
researchers, and developers who work at the leading edge of
Knowledge Management, pursuing integrated approaches which consider
both, the technological side as well as the proper business side.
PAKM is a forum for people to share their views, to exchange ideas,
to develop new insights, and to envision completely new kinds of
solutions to Knowledge Management problems. Like its predecessors,
PAKM2000 will provide ample time for interaction and discussion.
