<P align=justify>Knowledge Systems recognize the evolving nature of work and
society to being knowledge based. Competitive pressures are forcing
organizations to do more with less and to leverage all they know to succeed.
Knowledge systems are those systems developed to facilitate collaboration,
knowledge capture, storage, transfer and flow; knowledge use; as well as to
foster creativity and innovation. This track explores the many factors that
influence the development, adoption, use, and success of knowledge systems.
These factors include culture, measurement, governance and management, storage
and communication technologies, process modeling and development. The track also
looks at the societal drivers for knowledge systems including an aging work
force, the need to distribute knowledge and encourage collaboration in widely
dispersed organizations and societies, and competitive forces requiring
organizations of all types to adapt and change rapidly. Papers are
solicited for the following minitracks: (NOTE that the last minitrack is new and
is aimed at those practicing KM)</P>
