A one-day special program for decision makers gives high-level, strategic information about what KM is and how KM improves organisational structures and processes. It offers several invited talks by acknowledged experts in the field, a tutorial, short presentations about implemented KM solutions, and a special VIP Round Table Discussion Forum.
Additionally, the conference aims at bridging the gap between application experts, who will actually set up knowledge management tools in an organisation, and the technology experts, who are familiar with the technology underlying the KM tools. Thus, the conference wants to make sure that those people who will actually establish the KM technology in an organisation become fully aware of its potential and get a clear idea of what is currently possible. To this end, several workshops have been set up, each one being dedicated to a specific subarea considered relevant to KM. The workshops give a compilation of what is currently feasible, what is easy and what is still difficult, and what is out of reach. Technology experts will thus obtain more information about how to design and install effective and efficient KM at her or his organisation.
Our wish is that the conference may stimulate and foster the mutual exchange between designers and users of KM tools so that, on the one hand, KM tools become more widely used, and on the other hand, become tailored to the actual, practical needs.
Finally, we like to express our thanks. An event like this cannot take
place without the help of many people. The organisation committee and the
program committee, the workshop organisers and the workshop contributors
all have had a time-consuming job to make the whole event happen. Our thanks
go also to the invited speakers for preparing and presenting their talks.
Special thanks go to the sponsors of PAKM '96: Without their financial
support it could not have taken place. Our thanks also include Mrs. Annemarie
Nicolet who took over many organisational tasks.
