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:
