Workshop overview:
Knowledge Management Systems refers to IT based systems for managing knowledge in organizations and communities for supporting the creation, capture, storage and sharing of information. On the other hand Social Computing is a general term for an area of computer science that is concerned with the intersection of social behavior and computational systems, including social software and Web 2.0, social network analysis, etc.
These two fields are becoming closer to each other and we can see a growing interest both by research and industry on the subject. In fact the adoption of Web 2.0 features and technologies is giving an important support to collaborative work essential for knowledge management initiatives and is our intention in this workshop to discuss how knowledge management systems are using social computing, in particular Web 2.0, to support knowledge management.
You are invited to participate in this workshop where we aim to bring together researchers, academics and professionals working in the field of Knowledge Management Systems and Social Computing in the Iberian space to promote a state of the art forum and create a space to launch a community of practice in the subject.
