    Project knowledge is as important as organisational knowledge since it is at the operational level of an organisation.The common ways of retaining knowledge from key employees are merely performed when the people intend to leave the organisation, whereas the retention of knowledge should be done on-goingly during the implementation of projects and tasks. It is also to mitigate knowledge loss during the process of project implementation. With the current technology of social messaging applications being taken for granted as communication tool alone, little did we realise the potential of the tool to be knowledge repository as well. Hence, this research analyses the commonly used social messaging application to understand the personal knowledge management processes within the conversation, in which the signs of knowledge retention happens.Qualitative data gathered from the conversation scripts is analysed to produce quantitative results.The outcome of this research is a proposed measurement technique for project knowledge retention in social messaging application, in which the mapped weight age of personal knowledge management processes is recommended to be used in project knowledge retention scoring model

    In academic management, it is a lecturer’s task to ensure that the delivery of a subject complies with the syllabus and curriculum design. In most cases, lecturers have their own way of managing their classes, aided by a personally prepared lesson plan. Usually, the contents of the lesson plans change from one semester to another, either due to a change of the lecturer in charge or improvement in delivery and assessment. However, these changes are not comprehensively tracked and documented to show improvements made on the subject, which is beneficial for curriculum design review. Consequently, subsequent curriculum review fails to consider the necessary changes for improvement in the curriculum. To mitigate the effect of this knowledge loss in tracking these changes, we propose a multi-agent knowledge management approach to conceptualise a framework in tracking and capturing lecturers’ initiatives for improving the course delivery, and this can be further integrated as the change process in CQI for curriculum design review. Quantitative and qualitative analysis approaches are deployed to identify the change and update processes that lecturers adopt in updating their course delivery. This is followed by a study in multi-agent system to be applied in animating the processes. A knowledge management framework is then synthesised by considering the dynamics of the change processes to manifest the tracking and capturing of new knowledge in course delivery. The outcome of this research is a model of knowledge management process that captures the knowledge of course delivery changes made by lectures. The outcome is significance in contributing to the CQI in curriculum design review

    Quarantine has been establish as a method to reduce the spread of infectious disease. Ensuring maximum compliance of quarantined individual has been the key to a successful quarantine. Tracking the movement and monitoring of vitals such as temperature can help health officials in their war against infectious diseases such as Coronavirus Disease 2019. The tracker and monitoring of quarantined individual system is developed with this goal in mind. The combination of device and system that carefully tracks and monitors quarantined individuals can be used to alleviate the task of health officials and reduce the risk of an outbreak from developing further
