SUBMISSIONS
=============

We wish to encourage the submission of contributions that espouse an
interdisciplinary approach, which will therefore be favored over
one-dimensional papers.

Apart from a clear description of the real-world problems they address,
papers must point out the business and/or the scientific benefits of the
suggested solutions for a knowledge management task of an organization or
community. Furthermore, papers should emphasize the novel aspects of the
suggested approach.

Submissions will be anonymous and subject to blind reviews.

AIMS AND SCOPE
===============
The PAKM Conference Series offers a communication forum and meeting ground
for practitioners and researchers. The conference focus is on developing and
deploying advanced business solutions for the management of knowledge in
organizations and other communities that can benefit from its methods.

This year's conference we will pay particular attention to the innovations
on the interaction between Business, Computer Science, Information Systems,
and Library and Information Science.

PAKM is a forum for people to share their views, to exchange novel ideas, to
develop new insights, and to envision, propose and demonstrate new kinds of
solutions and new organizational methods and/or tools to Knowledge
Management problems.

Management in companies deals with many things: people, energy, materials,
etc. The management integrates them as a whole system and organizes the flow
between the parts efficiently. In some companies, the same is done with
knowledge. What methods are available and how well this integration of
knowledge is understood?

Libraries and universities are examples of organizations where knowledge
plays a major role within management. What methods are available to
integrate knowledge (e.g., curricula, expertise, centers of excellence,
programs) with people and other resources in libraries and universities?

The topics will cover relevant and applicable aspects of knowledge
management. We invite practitioners and researchers from all over the world
to submit papers. We are looking forward to a conference which will address
a wide spectrum of topics from a variety of perspectives.

We seek original contributions in the business and organization sciences,
cognitive science, library and information science, information systems and
computer science that represent a true advancement beyond the
state-of-the-art of Knowledge Management.

Business and organization sciences provide the overall framework for
developing a knowledge management approach with a focus on the business
aspects rather than on information technology aspects.

Computer science provides the tools needed to build the information systems
that are often required to make certain aspects of a knowledge management
solution work. Cognitive science helps to design knowledge management
solutions in line with the cognitive capabilities of the people involved and
optimally embedded in their work context.

Library and information science analyzes how to organize and understand
knowledge for the benefit of the users.
