The ultimate goal is to transform these relationships into greater profitability by increasing repeat purchase rates and reducing customer acquisition costs. Customer relationship management （CRM） has a significant potential to leverage an organization＇s performance, but it does not come without a clear sense of destination and typically without pain. For the research methodology we use the database of customers of a Romanian accounting services company Vulpoi ＆ Toader Management SRL, which is an important player in this market. The goal of our paper is to find out the link between knowledge management （KM） and CRM for this company and how these ＂innovations＂ contribute to increasing the value of the business.展开更多

The ...The paper is dealing with the design and development of a knowledge management （KM） system in radiology dedicated for learning and training to support radiologists in senology in the detection of breast cancer. The work has been performed in cooperation with the department of radiology of Gustave Roussy Institute in Paris （Villejuif）. It provides a case-based reasoning system to support diagnosis by finding similar cases to the case at hand. The outcome of the research effort is both conceptual and practical. It has also a methodological dimension. Conceptually, the paper contributes to the breast cancer diagnosis domain by defining an ontology and a conceptual model for representing cases which are generic solutions reusable in many different settings. It contributes to the case-based reasoning （CBR） field in two ways （1） by defining a case representation model, and （2） a retrieval algorithm which exploits the case representation model structure to find similar cases by aggregating similar cases. Last but not least, the research has a methodological contribution by which the retrieval algorithm is embedded in a broader process perspective including the capture of the actual case, the case-based reasoning related to this case and the support to decision-making by adapting the retrieved case. An interesting aspect of the process model is its intentional dimension which makes possible the representation of different ways to achieve the result. The research will be illustrated by a case study based on real clinical cases （n = 40） of patients provided by Dr. Corinne Balleyguier.展开更多

The problem is exacerbated by the growth in size, complexity and the number of chronic diseases in the NHS. In addition, there is an increase in demand for high quality care, processes and planning. Effective Discharge Planning (DP) requires practitioners to have appropriate, patient personalised and updated knowledge in order to be able to make informed and holistic decisions about a patients’ discharge. This paper examines the role of Knowledge Management (KM) in both sharing knowledge and using tacit knowledge to create appropriate patient discharge pathways. The paper details the factors resulting in inadequate DP, and demonstrates the use of Internet of Things (IoT) and Machine2Machine (M2M) as candidate technologies and possible solutions which can help reduce the problem. The use of devices that a patient can take home and devices which are perused in the hospital generate information, which can serve useful when presented to the right person at the right time, thus harvesting knowledge. The knowledge when fed back can support practitioners in making holistic decisions with regards to a patients’ discharge.展开更多

Such type of situations demand the addition of knowledge based layer to help the operators to be familiar with exact traffic problem and give the best choice of strategic control actions to the city. In current situation there is a necessity to build systematic, knowledge based tool to analyze and manage the recent or potential air quality issues and traffic noise issues. The paper comprises the creation of knowledge from the information which is extracted from the various data by using knowledge based modules （spreadsheets, database, software, etc.） and some management, optimization models. Such type of knowledge based management tool may act as a Decision Support System （DSS） which will be very supportive in traffic control system. The technology of knowledge-based systems may facilitate in designing and executing suitable knowledge structures to formulate conceptual models for traffic analysis and management and to use such approach for on-line strategic traffic management operations.展开更多
