Advancing Knowledge and the Knowledge Economy is an international
conference that brings together leading experts to examine how
processes for creating and organizing knowledge interact with
information technology, business strategy, and changing social and
economic conditions. The conference is designed to broaden and deepen
common understanding of how difficult-to-measure knowledge resources
drive an increasingly virtualized economy and to assess prospects for
advancing and regenerating knowledge infrastructure, institutions, and
policies.
Presenters will evaluate how distributed models of innovation and
learning are empowering users and challenging education, research, and
commerce. They will examine the emergence of software, the Internet,
and cyberinfrastructure as enablers of knowledge processes, and as
scaffolding for producing and using new tools and representations of
knowledge. Finally, they will consider how the management and
regulation of knowledge differs from the treatment of tangible inputs
in terms of the principles, tradeoffs, and policy models.
