Advances in Information, Communications and Knowledge Management Support Systems for R&D
Barry
on "Advances in Information, Communications and Knowledge Management
Support Systems for R&D" to take place 15-16 October 2007 at Bryn Mawr
College, Philadelphia, USA. The workshop will have a strong emphasis
on peer-to-peer discussions with each workshop session involving a
facilitated Knowledge Café discussion.
For Poster Presentations, you can present as a traditional poster or
setup a computer-based presentation of software for discussion.
Wireless and Internet connectivity will be available. Proposed
abstracts ca. 300-500 words should be sent to innovationwell -(-at-)-
douglasconnect.com for review.
We will discuss and share experiences with current information and
communications technology (ICT) supporting R&D, to discuss current
requirements and short term needs with electronic laboratory notebook
(ELN) systems, collaboration support and knowledge tools supporting
R&D, and to create a shared vision and roadmap for next generation
knowledge management (KM) support systems. A wiki will be opened prior
to the workshop to commence group documentation of supporting
materials and to help to populate the workshop program with
introductory materials, suggestions, ideas and experiences. The wiki
will continue to be available after the workshop for supporting
continuing interactions in 2008.
