This paper describes how AIAI has used the ideas and techniques behind Technology Road Maps in order to provide a framework for developing Knowledge Asset Road Maps to support knowledge management initiatives.
By carefully relating knowledge management actions upwards to business objectives and strategies, and downwards to specific knowledge assets, a co-ordinated picture of the various parts of an organisation's overall knowledge management programme can be visualized and justified.
The goal of developing a Knowledge Asset Road Map is to increase an organisation's competitiveness by: enabling all sections of an organisation to appreciate the current and future critical knowledge assets and their linkages to business objectives; guiding strategic research, development, marketing and investment decisions.

This paper describes Icarus, an agent architecture that embeds a hierarchical
reinforcement learning algorithm within a language for specifying agent
behavior.
We show that background knowledge increases learning rate and asymptotic
performance, and decreases plan size by three orders of magnitude, relative
to the typical formulation of the learning problem in our test domain.
While an Icarus agent will learn an optimal policy given appropriate
assumptions about the domain, we need empirical studies to establish
the system's behavior in practice.
In particular, Icarus supplies a novel capacity to incorporate domain
knowledge into learning, and we would like to know its effect relative
to a standard reinforcement learning design (like SARSA).
anyon http://tcla.gseis.ucla.edu/reportcard/tools/pdf/anyon.pdf
In the late 1970s, Jean Anyon talked with students attending New Jersey elementary schools that served either working class, middle class, or affluent communities.
Anyon points out that each school shaped students' beliefs about knowledge by providing certain types of learning materials and, more importantly, by teaching and introducing these materials in particular ways.
Her study pushes us to ask: How do we want young people to think about knowledge?
"Doing pages in our books and things."
"You can make knowledge by listening and doing what you're told."
"You can make knowledge if you invent something."
"I'd think of something to discover, then I'd make it."

We consider multi-user game engines such as Epic Megagames' UNREAL engine to be extremely useful tools for the design of knowledge spaces.
For a collaborative project with 10 Viennese museums1 we developed a semantic matrix for a cross-disciplinary exhibition showing items from different collections (Sigmund Freud Museum, Jewish Museum, Museum of Natural History).
The viewer/listener of our knowledge space explores a semantic structure by navigating virtual spaces with the topics being contained in these rooms.
UNREAL provides the possibility to rise up into the sky (the process is called ghost mode) and take a look down upon the architectural structure of the knowledge space.
The project has been carried out with the support of Austrian Bundesministerium für Verkehr, Innovation und Technologie and Bundeskanzleramt Sektion für Kunstangelegenheiten.

Rule for the U.S. Department of Agriculture, Food Safety and Inspection Service (USDA, FSIS).
It is noteworthy that although consumers report that they are more knowledgeable about food safety and have improved their safe handling practices, in reality, some consumers are still unknowingly practicing some unsafe behaviors.
In focus groups with parents of young children (RTI, 2002b), most participants reported that they were not aware of the health or food quality benefits of using a thermometer.
In 1998, FSIS began recommending that consumers use a food thermometer to check for doneness of hamburgers based on research that color is not a reliable indicator of doneness.3 Although color is not a reliable indicator of doneness, surveys often use color as a measure of doneness to collect information on how consumers cook hamburgers.

The fundamental problems that are approached in this paper are: the acquisition of the pedagogic knowledge, the design of the interface that is embedded in an ITS, and instruction design for implementing an efficient interaction and communication of knowledge.
This fact limits its application to students with learning problems: the motivation of the student along the automatic tutoring is affected negatively and the uncertainty about what the student is learning: the concept or the repetitive pattern showed by the software.
Many researchers in the field of education have begun to develop an understanding of student learning in terms of learning strategies.

Research on Question Answering has produced an arsenal of useful techniques for detecting answers that are explicitly present in the text of a collection of documents.
In order to bring fundamental issues of deep analysis to the fore, we have chosen to work on a task we call "knowledge tracking" that cannot be accomplished without interpretation of the source text.
A deep analysis based on Lexical Functional Grammar theory (Kaplan and Bresnan, 1982) combined with Glue Semantics (Dalrymple, 1999) produces a compact representation of the syntactic and semantic structures for each sentence.
The identification of the fundamental relations of inconsistency and redundancy are precursors to building more elaborate descriptions of the relationship of new information to old, and to finding non-local relationships that may serve to answer questions more completely from the knowledge in a collection.

'Edutainment' denotes educational and tent, but also methods for acquiring competence.
To be frank recreational systems for homes, schools and work.
Upon and perhaps also a little harsh: what we teach our students graduation, students may find careers in game design, project during their undergraduate years may well turn out to be management, systems development etc. KBUD emphasizes almost 'worthless' as up-to-date, working knowledge when participation in selection and creation of course contents, to they graduate!
A KBUD-packaged course of 5 credit points It is then up to the students, in cooperation with staff mentors, to create the new additional packages.
Few were used to reflecting on competence profiles.

With increasingly intensive competition, greater turbulence in the business environment, and a sharper focus on profitability, the race to track down lasting competitive advantages is hotting up.
Taking stock of knowledge management Enterprises are increasingly viewing the professional handling of the knowledge resource as mission-critical, even though the vast majority have been acquiring, distributing, and applying knowledge for as long as they can remember.
Core knowledge processes designed to achieve business goals The goal of the "Create and Localize" process is to identify and store explicit and implicit knowledge so that it is accessible within the company and can be reused (see graphic on page 18).
Future challenges More and more organizations are being transformed from relatively well-structured systems to interwoven business networks with indistinct boundaries.

An area of research that has seen a recent surge in commercial development is data mining, or knowledge discovery in databases (KDD).
Retailers, credit card companies, banks, and other such organizations are very interested in determining if there are groups or clusters of people who exhibit certain similar characteristics.
It is important to note that data warehouses are increasingly being used to store not only structured data that is collected from transaction databases, but also textual data.
An important technology associated with data warehousing that could potentially be better utilized in data mining is that of the metadata repository.
