[ ARCHIVE ] 1st International Workshop On Networking for Distributed Knowledge Management (NDKM'07)

Vilamoura, Algarve, Portugal, Nov 25 - 30, 2007

Proceedings will be published by Springer Verlag

 

Workshop Topic and Content

The way in which people (and systems) access and use knowledge has changed beyond all recognition over recent years, and technologies such as the Semantic Web hold the promise and expectation that further, perhaps more radical changes have yet to occur. At the heart of this knowledge revolution, however, is the belief that knowledge must be accessible and maintainable across a wide range of devices and networks, in other words, in a distributed environment. Hence, many of the challenges posed by our expectations concerning knowledge use and management in the future must be met by the underlying network and communications infrastructure.

The aim of this workshop is to serve as an active forum for researchers in the fields of knowledge management and intelligent networking and communications to meet and exchange ideas and current research with the goal of finding solutions to the problems of distributed knowledge management.


TOPICS OF INTEREST

Topics of interest to this workshop include, but are not limited to:

  • ontology-based routing by content
  • meta-data management in P2P networks
  • communications support for distributed reasoning
  • web topologies and distributed agents
  • content-based networking for distributed collaboration and virtual communities
  • decentralized access control and trust
  • protocols, techniques and methodologies for semantic interoperability in distributed environments
  • integration of knowledge networks and devices
  • experience, performance evaluation, and benchmarking of deployed systems
