Abstract

Based on the known theoretical models of knowledge management (KM), our investigation on existing KM systems and a prototype system designed for supporting the cooperative research in research institutes, we address three important issues in the design and implementation of KM systems, i.e., the software system architecture of a general KM system, the main functions of the KM systems and the information processing techniques and algorithms that can be used to implement the KM systems.
