Description & Coverage
Description:

In the last years, knowledge and learning management have made a significant impact on the IT research community. Open Source for Knowledge and Learning Management: Strategies Beyond Tools presents learning and knowledge management from a point of view where the basic tools and applications are provided by open source technologies.

Open Source for Knowledge and Learning Management: Strategies Beyond Tools explains an intense orientation to the critical issues of the open source paradigm: open source tools, applications, social networks, and knowledge sharing in open source communities. Open source technologies, tools, and applications are analyzed in the context of knowledge and learning, and this convergence formulates a challenging landscape for the deployment of information technology.

Reviews & Statements

"Scholars mostly of computer and information sciences from countries around the world explore a wide range of issues relating to the collaborative creation and free distribution of computer software - a movement that returns software from proprietary commercial product to scientific achievement."

Editor/Author Biographies
Miltiadis D. Lytras has co-edited/co-edits, 25 special issues in International Journals (e.g., IEEE Transaction on Knowledge and Data Engineering, IEEE Internet Computing, IEEE Transactions on Education, Computers in Human Behaviour, etc.) and has authored/[co-]edited 12 books (e.g., Open Source for Knowledge and Learning Management, Ubiquitous and Pervasive Knowledge Management, Intelligent Learning Infrastructures for Knowledge Intensive Organizations, and Semantic Based Information Systems). He is the founder and officer of the Semantic Web and Information Systems Special Interest Group in the association for information systems (http://www.sigsemis.org). He serves as the (Co) Editor-in-Chief of 12 international journals (e.g., International Journal of Knowledge and Learning, International Journal of Technology Enhanced Learning, International Journal on Social and Humanistic Computing, International Journal on Semantic Web and Information Systems, International Journal on Digital Culture and Electronic Tourism, International Journal of Electronic Democracy, International Journal of Electronic Banking, and International Journal of Electronic Trade) while he is an associate editor or editorial board member of seven more.

Ambjorn Naeve (http://kmr.nada.kth.se/people/ambcv.html or http://www.nada.kth.se/ ~amb) has a background in mathematics and computer science and received his PhD in computer science from KTH in 1993. He is presently coordinator of research on interactive learning environments and the Semantic Web at the Centre for user-oriented Information technology Design (CID; http://cid.nada.kth.se) at the Royal Institute of Technology (KTH; http://www.kth.se) in Stockholm, where he heads the Knowledge Management Research group (KMR; http://kmr.nada.kth.se). Ambjörn Naeve has been involved with research and development of interactive learning environments at CID since he initiated the Garden of Knowledge project there in 1996. He has taught mathematics at KTH since 1967, and during the last two decades he has headed the development of a multitude of tools for ICT-enhanced mathematics education (http:// kmr.nada.kth.se/math). Ambjörn Naeve is also a well-known industry consultant with extensive experience in various forms of modeling for software engineering and business applications. He has invented the concept browser Conzilla (http://www.conzilla.org) and has developed a modeling technique (based on UML) called Unified Language Modeling (ULM; http://kmr.nada.kth.se/cm) that has been designed in order to “draw how we talk about things,” that is, to depict conceptual relationships in a linguistically coherent way.
