Special Issue on Service-Oriented Knowledge Management and Business
Intelligence (SOKMBI)
from Bill Hefley
Knowledge management (KM) has been proven to be a key to service
excellence and success in traditional service industries. The global
economy and enterprises are evolving to become service-oriented, and many
new e-services are emerging. To address the growing complexity of the
service sector at the Age of Information and Communication, traditional KM
research and practices have to be extended and adapted, particularly
aiming at effective learning, application, and management of new
knowledge. On the other hand, the Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA)
provides new opportunities and challenges for knowledge and learning
processes, such as integration and outsourcing.
One key source of knowledge comes from Business intelligence (BI) while
knowledge provides the basis of further analysis for intelligence. BI is
evolving: from the traditional data-and-analysis exercise for supporting
management decisions to an integral part of business processes, providing
analytics for a wide range of users across organizations. In this end, we
merge SOKM with the International Workshop on Business Intelligence
Methodologies and Applications (BIMA), in order to form a stronger forum
with more participation and cross-disciplinary work.
Today 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 methodologies,
tools, and technologies. They also cover a broad spectrum of vertical
domains, industry segments, government and public services, from
electronic and mobile commerce to real-time applications for extended
enterprises and virtual communities. SOKM intentionally seeks scientists,
engineers, educators, solution developers, policy makers, management,
analysts, and others who have insight, vision, and understanding of the
big challenges in Service Oriented Knowledge Management.
This special issue also aims at helping in communicating and disseminating
relevant recent research across disciplines, cultures, and communities.

* Principles, theories, and challenges of SOKMBI
* Strategies, modeling, and requirements engineering for SOKMBI
