[AISWorld] Deadline extension KMEL Symposium 2015 Guangzhou

[Dr. Dickson K.W. CHIU]

The 5th International Symposium on Knowledge Management & E-Learning (KMEL
2015)
co-located with the 14th International Conference on Web-based Learning
(ICWL2015)
Guangzhou, China, Nov 5-8, 2015

Fierce competition, globalization, and dynamic economy have forced
organizations to search for new ways to improve
competitive advantage. In pursuance of this, knowledge is seen as the core
resource and learning is viewed as the important
process. It is crucial for organizations to enhance the capabilities for
effective learning and knowledge management (KM),
especially via using information and communication technologies in the
digital economy.
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 methods, tools, and technologies. They also cover a
broad spectrum of vertical domains, industry
segments, and even government sectors.

We are now in our 5th year, after our first meeting in Hong Kong in 2011,
Sinaia, Romania in 2012, and Kenting, Taiwan in 2013,
and Tallinn, Estonia in 2014.This event intentionally seeks educators,
researchers, scientists, engineers, industry people, policy makers,
decision makers,
and others who have insight, vision, and understanding of the big
challenges in Knowledge Management and E-Learning
(KM&EL) of interest include but are not limited to the theoretical,
technical, or empirical aspects of the following

Principles, theories, models, challenges, legal, social, and cultural
