We envision knowledge management systems as a platform facilitating the extraction, storage, retrieval, integration, transformation, visualization, analysis, dissemination, and utilization of knowledge. We present a system framework for secure knowledge management systems which, in addition to implementing the functionality of knowledge management and providing standard security mechanisms such...

Myriad frameworks have been developed for knowledge management. However, the field has been slow in formulating a generally accepted, comprehensive framework for knowledge management. This paper reviews the existing knowledge management frameworks and provides suggestions for what a general framework should include. The distinguishing feature of this research is that it emphasizes placing knowl...

Plant maintenance is a critical role in the success of manufacturing enterprises. The concept of remote maintenance (or e-maintenance) n the industry refers to the integration of the information and communication technologies to service for plant maintenance remotely.

Organizations are increasingly implementing process-improvement techniques like Six Sigma, total quality management, lean, and business process re-engineering to improve organizational performance. These techniques are part of a process management system that includes the organizational infrastructure to support the improvement techniques. The knowledge-based view of a firm argues that organiza...

The purpose of this study is to support the learning activity in the Internet learning space. In this paper, we examine the knowledge management and the knowledge representation of the learning information for the collaborative learning support. RAPSODY-EX (REX) is a distributed learning support environment organized as a learning infrastructure. REX can effectively carry out the collaborative ...

While the concepts of organizational learning and knowledge management are essential in industry, relatively little attention has been devoted to how these same concepts can be applied to higher education. Despite the ready availability of the Internet and the World Wide Web, and the increasing familiarity of faculty and students with these tools, many universities seem reluctant to release the...

In this paper, we describe a knowledge management framework that addresses the needs of multimedia analysis projects and provides a basis for information retrieval systems. The framework uses Semantic Web technologies to provide a shared knowledge environment, and active Knowledge Machines, wrapping multimedia processing tools, to exploit and/or export knowledge to this environment. This framew...

This study identifies the main elements of knowledge management structures and examines their effects on knowledge management adequacy and subsequently on knowledge management effectiveness. A path model representing the antecedents of knowledge management structure adequacy and the consequence on knowledge management effectiveness is developed and tested empirically. The results indicate that ...
