KMEL 2014 - The 4th International Symposium on Knowledge Management & E-Learning

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 4th year, after our first meeting in Hong Kong in 2011, Sinaia, Romania in 2012, and Kenting, Taiwan in 2013.
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, and social issues of KM&EL
Knowledge management and learning strategies
Knowledge management and action research
Knowledge construction in e-learning
Knowledge-based learning systems
Learning and knowledge portals
Content management and library management
Web-based learning, teaching, and KM
E-learning design, usability, and evaluation
E-learning and training in the workplace
Electronic performance support systems

The submission web pages are http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=kmel201...
Each paper will be reviewed by at least two program committee members. Acceptance will be based on overall relevance, significance for cross-disciplinary dialogue, originality, and clarity and quality of presentation. There is no fixed acceptance rate. We welcome all quality contributions that are in accordance with ICWL workshops’standards and the topic and goals of our proposed workshop.
All accepted papers presented in the workshop will be published in a Springer Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) volume.
To attract more submissions of high-quality paper, the organizers (who are the respective editor-in-chief) are arranging a special issue in the International Journal on Systems and Service-oriented Engineering (IJSSOE) or Knowledge Management & E-Learning: An International Journal (KM&EL) after the proposal is accepted.
