Considering Tacit Knowledge When Bridging Knowledge Management and Information Systems for Collaborative Decision-Making
International audienceThis chapter introduces an approach aiming to evaluate the level of tacit knowledge consideration during collaborative decision-making processes within information systems. The presented approach relies on original theories in the area of collaborative decision-making and information systems. The link between knowledge management and information systems for collaborative decision-making can be considered as an accepted source of improvements by the organizations. Research has shown that considering tacit knowledge within information systems improves collaborative decision-making. Evaluating the level of tacit knowledge consideration during collaborative decision-making processes within information systems could improve these processes. The approach is illustrated with a case study, which has currently been tested within several large companies, and which could be improved in future studies
Towards a metric of the commensurability of interpretative frameworks
La connaissance, parce qu'elle est le résultat de l'interprétation par un individu d'une information, ne peut pas toujours être manipulée comme un objet. C'est en filtrant au travers de nos schémas d'interprétation les informations qui nous parviennent que nous créons des connaissances. La commensurabilité des schémas d'interprétation est un concept abstrait se basant sur une règle assez floue : plus il est probable que la même information prenne le même sens pour plusieurs individus, plus leurs schémas d'interprétation sont commensurables ; moins il est probable que la même information prenne le même sens pour plusieurs individus, moins leurs schémas d'interprétation sont commensurables. L'objet de cette thèse est de proposer des approches pour déterminer dans quelle mesure deux individus donnent le même sens à la même information.Knowledge resulting of the interpretation by an individual of information, it cannot always be handled as an object. Indeed, we create knowledge when filtering information through ours interpretative frameworks. The commensurability of interpretative frameworks is an abstract concept, relying on a quite unclear rule: higher is the probability that the same information will have the same meaning for several people, more commensurable are their interpretative frameworks ; lower is that probability, less commensurable are their interpretative frameworks. The purpose of this thesis is to propose approaches in order to determine to what extent two individuals will give the same meaning to the same information
Empowered cities? An analysis of the structure and generated value of the smart city Ghent
Smart cities have gained momentum as a conceptual model which embodies a fresh wave of techno-optimism and emphasizes the positive effects of ICT and other innovative technologies in a city, often in combination with multidisciplinary collaborative partnerships. This article assesses a series of six smart city initiatives within one local city ecosystem by proposing a conceptual framework which is then used to analyze the architecture, value flows and contextual dimensions of the smart city Ghent. The results of our analysis show the multi-level collaborative value creation potential in a smart city and shed light on the complexity of these processes. The main conclusion is that current smart city initiatives face the challenge of evolving from demonstrators towards real sustainable value. Smart cities often have a technological deterministic, project-based approach, which forecloses a sustainable, permanent and growing future for the project outcomes
Triple Helix in Smart Cities: A Literature Review about the Vision of Public Bodies, Universities, and Private Companies
Smart city is a recent topic, aiming at improving the quality of life of citizens in urban areas. Born like a bottom-up trend, it is now becoming crucial in urban planning in large cities all over the world. The smart city success depends on the synergic action by the triple helix key actors: public bodies, universities, and private companies. However, not ever these actors share the same smart city vision. This paper aims at individuating similarities and differences in key actors smart city vision, by a large and deep literature review on both scientific papers and practitioner or institutional reports.nonouirechercheInternationa
The Role of the Enterprise’s Information and Knowledge System within the Digital Enterprise
KMIKS 2015, Hammamet, Tunisia, April 16-18, 2015Since the last decades our world, completely transformed by the digital invasion, is becoming a digital world. Notably, enterprises, social lives, and even health care, subjected to the immediacy of this invasion, are confronted with drastic change challenges. Enterprises become digital enterprises. Whereas digital is an adjective related to digit, there is no unanimous definition of what this concept actually means in the scientific literature. Digital devices such as computers, tablets, and smartphones, give individuals the means to interact regardless where they are, and to share more than just information. The Enterprise's Information and Knowledge System (EIKS) considers individuals not only as users of the digital information system, but also as components, i.e. processors of information and holders of knowledge. Within enterprises we observe the emergence of digital departments differing from the information system department. Such digital departments are not under the supervision of a Chief Information Officer. In this paper, relying on three postulates and on the characteristics of the digital enterprise, we propose to present what the EIKS is, its role within the digital enterprise and what it is becoming, through the use of the General System Theory.nonouirechercheInternationa
Towards a new vision of Information System Engineering.
Information Technologies bear the potential of new uses. These uses provoke a new organization which induces a new vision of software engineering. Under the influence of globalization, and the impact of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) that modify radically our relationship with space and time, the hierarchical company locked up on its local borders becomes an Extended Company, without borders, opened and adaptable. In this context, this paper proposes a shift in the way the design of information systems is viewed, so that the digital information system and potential user are in harmony right from the design stage of the system. The goal is to help to design systems that are useful. It will therefore be a matter of distributed intelligence of the situation in terms of interactions and cooperative partners rather than in terms of a more passive user. This means putting at the disposal of the user, seen as a "partner", a system that will help him or her think more efficiently about a situation. The approach adopted is a global philosophy based on business process management within the framework of all the methodological principles. The research described here is therefore a contribution to the software engineering.User; Software Engineering; Information System; Business Process Management; Extended Company; Digital Information System;
Towards a new vision of Information System Engineering
Information Technologies bear the potential of new uses.
These uses provoke a new organization which induces a new
vision of software engineering. Under the influence of
globalization, and the impact of Information and Communication
Technologies (ICT) that modify radically our relationship with

opened and adaptable. In this context, this paper proposes a shift
in the way the design of information systems is viewed, so that
the digital information system and potential user are in harmony
right from the design stage of the system. The goal is to help to
design systems that are useful. It will therefore be a matter of
distributed intelligence of the situation in terms of interactions
and cooperative partners rather than in terms of a more passive
