• IFIP International Working Conference on Knowledge Management in Electronic Government (KMGov)**²⁾ // WG 8.3 & WG 8.5
  The IFIP International Working Conference on Knowledge Management in Electronic Government (KMGov), formerly the International Workshop on Knowledge Management in Electronic Government (KMGov), and the Workshop on Distributed Cognition and Distributed Knowledge, brings together academics and practitioners to discuss and disseminate ideas, concepts and experiences on the many perspectives and issues that deserve attention when developing e-Government/e-Democracy systems supported with effective Knowledge Management solutions. It is organized by the Department of Computer Science in Business, Administration and Society of the University of Linz.
• IFIP WG5.2 Workshop on “Knowledge Intensive CAD” (KIC)** // WG 5.2
  IFIP WG5.2 Workshop on “Knowledge Intensive CAD” (KIC), successor of the IFIP WG 5.2 Working Conference on Intelligent Computer Aided Design (IntCAD 1991) and the IFIP TC 5/WG 5.2 Workshop on Intelligent CAD (1987-1989), extends the concept of intelligent CAD to the concept of “knowledge intensive engineering.” The concept advocates that intensive life-cycle knowledge regarding products and design processes must be incorporated in the center of the CAD architecture. The concept focuses on the systematization and sharing of knowledge across the life-cycle stages and organizational boundaries. The aim of the workshops is to clarify and elaborate the concepts of knowledge intensive design and CAD by providing an international forum for mutual discussions and exchange of opinions of experts of the field. The first workshop focused on exploring the concept of knowledge intensive design as a part of knowledge intensive engineering activities. The second workshop will examine architectures and methodologies for “knowledge intensive CAD” based on the results of the first workshop.
