Theme and Objectives

 

Experience management and engineering (EME) is still a very new concept in the fields of computer science, information technology, and information systems, although knowledge management has become well-established in these fields. Knowledge management and engineering is the collection of processes that govern the creation, storing, reuse, maintenance, dissemination, and utilization of knowledge and it’s engineering. Experience is the life blood for individuals and organizations. Experience management and engineering (EME) deals with collection of processes that govern creation, storage, reuse, maintenance, dissemination, evaluation and utilization of experience in a particular situation or problem solving context and it’s systems engineering. 

How to manage, model, process, and engineer experience has become an important topic for computer science, information technology, information systems, and business development.  This workshop will focus on the role of intelligent systems and methodologies for managing, modeling and engineering experience. The workshop aims to provide an inter-disciplinary forum in which researchers and practitioners can exchange original ideas, methodologies, techniques and applications on experience management and experience engineering. 

 

EME’2006 is the second international workshop on experience management and engineering in conjunction with KES’2006 developed from the IWEM-05 in conjunction with KES2005. This workshop is organized by KES International (http://www.kesinternational.org/), the University of Wollongong and  (http://www.kuas.edu.tw/) and Bond University (http://www.bond.edu.au/).

 

Topics of interest for the workshop include but  are not limited to the methodologies, techniques, models, tools and applications for:

-    Experience Management in Organizations

-    Customer Experience Management in Customer Relationship Management

-    Integration of Experience Management Systems with Business Processes

-    Experience Management in Knowledge Management

-    Experience Management in Fraud and Deception

-    Experience Management Applications in education, customer relationship management, health care and medicine

      -    E-Commerce (Experience Management in E-Commerce)

-    E-Services (Experience Management  in E-Services)

-    Case-based Reasoning (its role in Experience Based Reasoning)

-    Soft Computing for Experience Management and Experience Based Reasoning

-    Knowledge vs Experience (logical, fuzzy logic, hybrid models)

-    Experience Discovery vs Knowledge Discovery

-    Experience Processing (storing, retrieving, updating, distributing)

-    Epistemological Knowledge and Experience,

-    CBR in Experience Management and Engineering 

      -    Natural Reasoning and Natural Computation

      -    Natural Intelligent System

-    Evaluation of Experience Management Systems

 

 

Submission of Papers:

Papers are invited from prospective authors with interests on the indicated scope and related areas of application. All contributions should be original and not published elsewhere or intended to be published during the review period. Details of the required paper format and submission details will follow. To ensure high quality, all papers will be thoroughly peer-reviewed by the Program Committee. The proceedings, in conjunction with KES’06, will be published by Springer-Verlag in Lecture Notes in AI as part of the LNCS/LNAI series. Please refer to the Springer-Verlag web site for directions on the Paper Format which must be strictly followed. All oral and poster papers must be presented by one of the authors who must register and pay fees. Please note that papers should be no longer than eight pages. Papers longer than this will be subject to an additional page charge.

Extended versions of selected papers will be considered for publication as book chapters by January 2007, to be published by Springer.
