We have immense pleasure to inform you that the
Department of Library and Information Science, University of Calicut in
collaboration with the C.H.M.K. Library, University of Calicut and Kerala
Library Association (KLA) Kozhikode Region is organizing a Two-Day National
Conference on Knowledge Discovery and
Management during 30-31 January 2015. Knowledge
has become the key strategic asset for the 21st Century. Knowledge Management is a rapidly growing
field with immense potential. Effective Knowledge Management is becoming a core competence and a key to the success of contemporary organizations. However, it is being observed that, while
knowledge has been acknowledged as source of competitive advantage, it has not
been managed well in organizations. Knowledge
Discovery is a non-trivial process of identifying valid, novel, potentially
useful, and ultimately understandable patterns from large collections of
data. The explosive growth of
the Internet and the widespread use of large databases have drastically
increased the volume and complexity of data to be mined, leading researchers to
explore new ways to glean non-trivial data automatically. The developments of
Knowledge Discovery and Management in recent years have become the key concern
for librarians and libraries.
Objectives
The conference will solicit high quality research papers and provide a
national forum for researchers, developers and practitioners to present applied
