The 3nd International Workshop on Service-Oriented Knowledge Management (SOKM'09)
(October 21-23, 2009, Macau, China, in conjunction with ICEBE 2009)
Knowledge management (KM) has been proven to be a key to service excellence and
success in traditional service industries. The global economy and enterprises
are evolving to become service-oriented, and many new e-services are emerging.
To address the growing complexity of the service sector at the age of
Information and Communication, traditional KM research and practices
have to be extended and adapted, particularly aiming at effective learning,
application, and management of new knowledge. On the other hand,
the Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) provides new opportunities and
challenges for knowledge and learning processes, such as integration and outsourcing.
Today the creation, operation, and evolution of such research and practice
raise concerns that range from high-level requirements and policy modeling through
to the deployment of specific implementation technologies and paradigms,
and involve a wide (and ever-growing) range of methodologies, tools, and technologies.
They also cover a broad spectrum of vertical domains, industry segments, government
and public services, from electronic and mobile commerce to real-time applications
for extended enterprises and virtual communities.
This workshop intentionally seeks scientists, engineers, educators, industry people,
policy makers, decision makers, and others who have insight, vision,
and understanding of the big challenges in Service Oriented Knowledge Management.
This event also aims at helping in communicating and disseminating relevant
recent research across disciplines, cultures, and communities.
Topics include but not limited to:
- Principles, theories, and challenges of SOKM
- Strategies, modeling, and requirements engineering for SOKM
- Architectures, implementations, and deployment of SOKM
- Cultural and economic issues in SOKM
- Knowledge and learning for emerging services and service innovations
- Inter- and Intra enterprise knowledge integration and engineering
- Knowledge / learning processes and service outsourcing
- Knowledge-based decision models and decision support systems for service provision
- Web services and semantic support for knowledge and learning
- Agent based technologies and logic for service knowledge and learning
- Virtual organizations and communities for service knowledge and learning
- Trust, reputation, security, and privacy in service knowledge and learning
- Service marketing, data mining, and relationship management
- Machine learning and cybernetics for service provision and management
- Automatic and semi-automatic services contract generation and management
Papers must be submitted electronically via the SOKM09 Paper Submission Site (https://www.easychair.org/login.cgi?conf=sokm09).
The format of
submitted papers should follow the guidelines for the IEEE conference proceedings,
limited to 6 pages. All papers will be peer reviewed by at least three reviewers. Accepted
papers will be published in the workshop proceedings of the ICEBE 2009 by the
IEEE CS Press. At least one of the authors of each accepted paper must register as a full
participant of the workshop to have the paper published in the proceedings.
Once accepted, please carefully check and improve your paper according to the
provided comments.
Selected best papers will be invited to create an extended version and submit to the
special issue of "Service-Oriented Knowledge Management" for the
International Journal of Systems and Service-Oriented Engineering (IJSSOE).
