CALL FOR PAPERS (CfP)
Special Track on
"Business Process Oriented Knowledge Infrastructures"
http://www.i-know.at/BPOKI
29 June 2005, Graz, Austria
This one-day special track, which is the second in a series and takes place
during I-KNOW '05 in Graz - Austria, provides an interdisciplinary forum for
international scientists and practitioners to discuss aspects of integrating
knowledge management efforts in organizational value-generating activities.
Background
Knowledge management initiatives in today's economy have to justify their
expenses. Therefore, knowledge management has to visibly contribute to value
generating activities of organizations. This urgent challenge increasingly
gained recognition in industry as well as in academia during the past years.
Therefore, a broad range of concepts in the domain of business process
oriented knowledge management has emerged to acknowledge that fact. Many of
these concepts focus on the development of knowledge infrastructures that
are tightly aligned to and supportive of an organization's business- and
knowledge processes. Thereby, knowledge infrastructures are considered to
represent the set of all organizational activities (e.g. KM initiatives),
guidelines (e.g. KM processes), agreements (e.g. KM-friendly culture) and
systems (e.g. KM software) that enable the effective and efficient
management of knowledge in organizations. Sucessful implementations of
business process oriented knowledge management approaches in organizations
are already available and motivate and fuel further research. Therefore, the
challenges that emerged from these past experiences are of highest relevance
for reseachers and practitioners.
These challenges include the following open questions:
How can especially complex, dynamic and weakly structured business processes
be supported through knowledge infrastructures?
What concepts aid in dealing with the effects of changing business processes
on aligned knowledge infrastructures?
How can the quality of knowledge processes and -infrastructures be assessed?
What are the most promising types of business processes to apply existing
bpoKM approaches?
Goals
This special track aims to tackle the challenges identified above and bring
together international researchers as well as practitioners to enable the
exchange of current research concerning the development of business process
oriented knowledge infrastructures. The special track as well provides
plenty of time for networking among attendees to establish focussed,
international relationships.
Topics of the Special Track
The special track seeks contributions that introduce and/or discuss concepts
as well as experiences concerning the development of business process
oriented knowledge infrastructures.
Topics may include, but are not limited to:
Business Process Oriented Development of KM Systems, -Portals
