PAKeM99
Knowledge Management is rapidly being recognised as an essential business
process concerned with locating, organising, transferring and using the
information and expertise within an organisation. The aim of this
conference is to bring together developers and users from commerce,
industry and academia to examine and discuss solutions for the management
of this knowledge.
PAKeM and PA Expo99
PAKeM is a key part of the Practical Application Expo: a unique five-day
multi-technology, multi-track event which takes place every Spring in
London. PA Expo99 will also include conferences on Agents, Data Mining,
Logic Programming and Java.
PA Expo combines the peer-to-peer review process of an academic conference
with the commercial relevance of an applied industrial event. This contrast of
theory and practice, research and deployment is rarely found elsewhere, and
makes an ideal forum for participants to network and share ideas.
PA Expo offers a rich blend of tutorials, invited talks, refereed papers,
panel discussions, poster sessions, social agenda and a full industrial
exhibition. The result is a varied technical programme which caters for
delegates of various levels of expertise, from beginner to advanced
practitioner, in a pleasant and productive environment.
You are invited to register your interest in PAKem99 by completing the

quality hotels and restaurants. For further information please visit our
