The 5th International Workshop on Knowledge Management and Collaboration
(KMC 2016)
Call for Papers and Participation
As part of
The 2016 International Conference on Collaboration Technologies and Systems
(CTS 2016)
In Cooperation with ACM, IEEE, and IFIP
Paper Submission Deadline: July 29, 2016 - Extended
Submissions could be for full papers, short papers, poster papers, or posters
SCOPE AND OBJECTIVES
Knowledge Management (KM) has been occupying, at least since the beginning of the nineties, much more important place within organizations. The necessity to manage both explicit and tacit knowledge created and used in organizations has increased rapidly in the recent years. Organizations have become aware of the importance of the invaluable capital owned by their members which corresponds to their experiences and accumulated knowledge about the firm activities. Maintaining this capital is a powerful mean to improve the level of economical performance of an organization. Thus, companies should invest on knowledge management projects in order to amplify the creation, the sharing and the transfer of explicit and tacit knowledge.
Collaboration technologies can be used to handle KM in organizations. Several techniques can be considered to develop and implement knowledge management and organizational memory systems, according to the types of organization, its needs, and its culture as well as the nature of knowledge to be capitalized. For example, Knowledge-based approaches, corporate semantic web, CBR-based approaches, ontology based approaches, agent-based approaches, etc.
The objective of this multidisciplinary workshop is to gather both researchers and practitioners to discuss methodological, technical and organizational aspects of collaboration technologies and systems used for knowledge management, knowledge discovery, mining, feedback of KM applications, and especially using collaboration techniques for KM and employing KM to increase effective collaboration. A second aspect would be how to use collaboration systems and technologies in Knowledge management and discovery.
Researchers and practitioners are invited to present recent advances in methodologies, models and tools for managing knowledge in organizations and to discuss experiences of successful or unsuccessful knowledge management projects. Papers are welcomed in any research area concerning knowledge management and discovery such as knowledge engineering, artificial intelligence, information systems, CSCW, business management, and knowledge economy. Target applications of this research and real work case studies could be the following: Automobile, Biology, Design, Education, Medical Domain, Telecommunications, Aeronautics and Space, Tourism, Finance, Public Administration, Social, etc.

PAPER SUBMISSION
You are invited to submit original and unpublished research works on above and other topics related to knowledge management & discovery and collaboration. Submitted papers must not have been published or simultaneously submitted elsewhere. Submissions could be for full papers, short papers, poster papers, or posters (please specify). For Regular papers, please submit a PDF copy of your full manuscript, not to exceed 8 double-column formatted pages per template, and include up to 6 keywords and an abstract of no more than 400 words. Additional pages will be charged additional fee. Submission should include a cover page with authors' names, affiliation addresses, fax numbers, phone numbers, and all authors email addresses. Please, indicate clearly the corresponding author(s) although all authors are equally responsible for the manuscript. Short papers (up to 4 pages), poster papers and posters (please refer to http://cts2016.cisedu.info/1-call-for-papers/call-for-posters for posters submission details) will also be considered. Please specify the type of submission you have. Please include page numbers on all preliminary submissions to make it easier for reviewers to provide helpful comments.
Submit a PDF copy of your full manuscript to the workshop EasyChair paper submission site at http://cisedu.us/cis/cts/16/users/upload.jsp. Acknowledgement will be sent within 48 hours of submission. If the submission is for a poster paper or short paper, indicate that as well on the manuscript and in the submission form's Notes field.
Only PDF files will be accepted, uploaded to the submission link above. Each paper will receive a minimum of three reviews. Papers will be selected based on their originality, relevance, significance, technical clarity and presentation, and references. Submission implies the willingness of at least one of the authors to register and present the paper, if accepted. At least one of the authors of each accepted paper will have to register and attend the CTS 2016 conference to present the paper at the workshop.
Proceedings
Accepted papers will be published in the Conference proceedings. Instructions for final manuscript format and requirements will be posted on the CTS 2016 Conference web site. It is our intent to have the proceedings formally published in hard and soft copies and be available at the time of the conference. The proceedings is projected to be included in the IEEE Digital Library and indexed in all major indexing services accordingly.
If you have any questions about paper submission or the workshop, please contact the organizers.
