Call for Papers

Fifth International Workshop on Theory and Applications of Knowledge 
MAnagement (TAKMA 2004)

in conjunction with DEXA 2004

Zaragoza, Spain
30 August - 3 September, 2004

Knowledge within an organisation is one of the most important assets. In 
industrialised countries, we can observe the shifting to global markets, 
which change the nature of work and of workforce itself. The most 
successful enterprises in this new "world" will be those who recognise 
the importance of knowledge management and investigate time and money in 
this new and very important field.

Knowledge Management is a field which must be investigated by academic 
researchers together with developers and users from the industry and 
public administration. Therefore researchers and practitioners are 
encouraged to submit papers to the TAKMA 2004 workshop addressing 
aspects of the TAKMA theme.

Topics of TAKMA workshops include (but are not limited to) the following 
aspects:

    * Extracting Knowledge from Documents
    * Knowledge Distillation using Intranets/Extranets
    * Knowledge Integration
    * Visualisation/Knowledge Media
    * Support Tools for Developing New Knowledge
    * KM Methods
    * Organisational Learning
    * Building Organisational Memories
    * Interaction between Workflow and Knowledge Management
    * Collaborative and Co-operative KM
    * KM Technology Environments
    * HCI Processes in Knowledge Management
