Context Modeling for Knowledge Management Systems
نویسنده
چکیده
Context-awareness is a common feature of contemporary knowledge management systems (KMS). The intended effect of context-awareness is to tailor appearance, functionality and behavior of KMS to the needs and individual preferences of knowledge workers and to contribute to flexibility in organizational KMS use by supporting the integration of knowledge use into work processes. The variability of organizational and individual tasks is essential for understanding context in organizations. Context modeling methods have been proposed which analyze this variability and identify context elements. This paper investigates whether there are recurring context elements across organizations and how these recurring elements could be used to improve context modeling methods and KMS configuration processes.

Context-aware Modeling for Spatio-temporal Data Transmitted from a Wireless Body Sensor Network
Context-aware systems must be interoperable and work across different platforms at any time and in any place. Context data collected from wireless body area networks (WBAN) may be heterogeneous and imperfect, which makes their design and implementation difficult. In this research, we introduce a model which takes the dynamic nature of a context-aware system into consideration. This model is con...

Explicit modeling of business processes and their enactment in workflow systems have proved to be valuable in increasing the efficiency of work in organizations. We argue that enacted business processes that is: workflow management systems (WfMS) form a solid basis for adequate information support in complex and knowledge-intensive business processes. To support this claim we demonstrate result...

متن کاملOntology-Based User Modeling for Knowledge Management Systems
This paper is presenting a generic ontology-based user modeling architecture, (OntobUM), applied in the context of a Knowledge Management System (KMS). Due to their powerful knowledge representation formalism and associated inference mechanisms, ontology-based systems are emerging as a natural choice for the next generation of KMSs operating in organizational, interorganizational as well as com...
