Knowledge on the move

Abstract

Knowledge propagation is the challenge. Better society requires best knowledge management practices and use of latest tools and technologies. Knowledge management is dealing with the problem of different languages in big countries. Also knowledge is present in different forms. It may be knowledge encoded in laws, decrees, standards, policies, rules and regulations and orders. All these forms of knowledge must be combined together so that it is readily available for general public in their own language. In addition there should be a proper knowledge propagation mechanism. Knowledge propagation becomes difficult in multiple languages. Recently mobile phones and in car computers have become widely used in third world country. These moving devices have amazing features like continuous connectivity, location detection, facility of voice and data processing. This attracts Knowledge Management researchers to consider Mobile computing devices and mobile computers as the medium of knowledge propagation. This study proposes a framework for knowledge propagation through voiceXML in different languages using Mobile phone or in car pc as the delivery medium. Voice interface requires minimum resources and works well in the moving car. The study will enhance the knowledge of mobile computing community knowledge communication. In near future this area of study and its related studies will be greater part of applied mobile computing. © 2011 Asian Network for Scientific Information.
