The association represents 1,100 two-year, associate degree--granting institutions and some 10 million students.
AACC provides leadership and service in five key areas: policy initiatives, advocacy, research, education services, and coordination/networking.
Community colleges should support the arts in their communities, foster partnerships that support cultural events, and strengthen programming when the college serves as the community's cultural focus.
Community colleges, alone or in collaboration with other groups, owe it to their communities to develop the skills, knowledge, and motivation of these future leaders.
To fulfill the commitment to lifelong learning, community colleges must look beyond their traditional age boundaries, because the key to success is teaching children how to learn and how to interact with people.

This study explored how such teams interact to overcome the barriers and reap the benefits of their "built-in" knowledge diversity.
We sought to expand the conceptual and empirical work on dispersed teamwork by exploring the role of technology use in the knowledge sharing practices of a particular type of virtual team, the dispersed, cross-functional development team.
The effectiveness of knowledge sharing in the long run seems to depend less on the features or characteristics of the particular technology medium chosen, and more substantially on the extent to which sharing practices, exercised through particular technology use, are well-established and represent habitual action within the team.

Alliance building has several stages, and the manager who leverages his organization's knowledge through each stage creates the foundation for a successful partnership.
The "make versus buy" decision that once confronted decision makers has expanded and is now a more complex "make versus buy versus partner" decision.
A record of past and current alliances, relevant strategy documents, existing legal contracts and industry-specific information are all critical when developing an alliance strategy and when screening and selecting alliance partners.
While some companies may invest in sophisticated alliance portal technologies that offer relationship management and collaboration tools, as well as search and retrieval capabilities, other organizations have succeeded by using their organization's existing IT infrastructure.

The developers early realized that the knowledge base can be captured in XML by a series of trees that represent taxonomies, analytical structures, and specific indicative facts, but over this a topic map is needed to express links across the trees.
Above this, the classification rules could form another topic map that points into the lower layers.
This structure allows us to have multiple trees in the knowledge base, and eachtree is easily extensible for as many layers of recursion as is needed for its subject.
All of these trees generally follow the pattern of the normally aspirated structure but have additional entries, such as waste gates among the lower-level contributors to the implication series in the layers for turbocharged engines.

Why Don't Technology Managers Want Our Knowledge?
We'll consider these under the general label of "Knowledge Discovery in Databases" (KDD) -- a rapidly evolving discipline that blends mathematics, statistics, and artificial intelligence to tease knowledge out of warehoused data [1,2,3].
Such software helps analyze information retrieved from large electronic databases to serve technology management [7].
To summarize, we have noted a new generation of "information products" that exploit large quantities of text information on particular topics (in our case, emerging technology topics).
In our modest survey of technology professionals and managers collaborating in our NSF project, 73% personally do some mining of external information resources these days and 42% were open to trying explorable, interactive reporting (e.g., web-based or CD-based hyperlinked elements).

To keep pace with these advances, training and best practices management must take a new direction, so personnel are able to take advantage of new measurements and techniques in real-time to improve efficiency and reduce operational risk.
Prior to 1999, the Schlumberger oilfield services organization operated largely as a series of semi-autonomous, regional organizations operating in over 100 locations across the world, with training and technology support provided from the operational center in Houston.
· Getting good input from the field community and keeping them informed of progress through designated local Knowledge Champions assigned in each operating location Phase 1 of the implementation also included finding the knowledge and good practices that were being used in the field and ensuring that this information was entered into the knowledge base before the site was announced to the community at large.
