Early warning system (EWS) is a technology to mitigate risk is used to disseminate timely information. Then knowledge management system (KMS) is used to support for decision facilitation will integrate with EWS to disseminate timely information with proactive early warning. Issues on timeliness for timely reporting and decision facilitation are regarded as main challenge for mitigation of risk....

Abstract. Given a thermal field theory for a certain temperature, we present a method to construct the theory at any finite positive temperature provided the number of local degrees of freedom is restricted in a physically sensible manner. Our work is based on a construction invented by Buchholz and Junglas [BJu 89]. Starting from the vacuum representation, they established the existence of the...

Innovation is considered a major driving force for the prosperity of firms and entire economies. Research suggests that a firm’s capacity to acquire and utilize relevant knowledge from internal and external sources, i.e. its absorptive capacity (ACAP), is decisive for innovation success. But what is the role of Knowledge Management Systems (KMS) for a firm’s ACAP and innovativeness? Surprisingl...

The shift from a product-based to a knowledge-based economy has resulted in an increasing demand for organizations to implement knowledge management systems (KMS) at an accelerating pace. However, little attention has been paid to what influences the employees’ intention to use such. This study presented an integrative framework to explore factors affecting employees’ KMS usage behavior, partic...

AbstrAct This chapter explores knowledge management, KM, and knowledge management system, KMS, success. The inspiration for this chapter is the KM Success and Measurement minitrack held at the Hawaii International Conference on System Sciences in January of 2007 and 2008. KM and KMS success are issues needing to be explored. The Knowledge Management Foundations workshop held at the Hawaii Inter...

This paper seeks to develop a better understanding of job performance in the context of a knowledge management system (KMS) implementation. This work adopts the context theorizing approach that informs the conceptualization of KMS use and identification of contingency factors. Specifically, the literature on rich system use is adapted to develop the construct in the context of a KMS. The litera...

C(4) photosynthesis involves cell-to-cell exchange of photosynthetic intermediates between the Kranz mesophyll (KMS) and bundle sheath (BS) cells. This was believed to occur by simple diffusion through plentiful plasmodesmatal (PD) connections between these cell types. The model of C(4) intermediates' transport was elaborated over 30 years ago and was based on experimental data derived from mea...

We are not only in a new millennium but also a new era. A variety of terms such as the Post-Industrial Era (Huber, 1990), the Information Age (Shapiro et al, 1999), the Third Wave (Hope et al, 1999) or the Knowledge Society (Drucker, 1999) are being used to describe this epoch. However, whichever term one subscribes to, most are agreed that one of the key defining and unifying themes of this pe...

Nowadays, knowledge management system is not doubtful as an important tool in an enterprise business process by reason of the effective knowledge management system can give a competitive advantage. Knowledge management system (KMS) is an information technology (IT) based system, which is developed to support and enhance the processes of knowledge creation, storage or retrieval, transfer, and ap...

The relativistic KMS condition introduced by Bros and Buchholz provides a link between quantum statistical mechanics and quantum field theory. We show that for the P (φ)2 model at positive temperature, the two point function for fields satisfies the relativistic KMS condition.
