Theme I-11: Intranet and data tools for Small and Medium Enterprises (SME) – Prof. Henry Dou (France)

Presentation abstracts will appear here as soon as possible.


During the past three years, the development of the information network (public and private), in combination with the increasing impact of globalization, have induced a move towards the immaterial and the virtual.In this framework, people speak of virtutal companies, e-commerce, intelligent Intranets, etc.

The impact of the new technologies, as well as the necessary pluri-cultural approach to research, business and politics, requires enabling companies and institutions to create a new form of global knowledge. In this framework, the Intelligence Corporation plays a central role, and all the methodologies and tools that can help to create this supra-intelligence are of fundamental importance.

If large companies possess enough human resources and tools to promote this intellectual capital, the situation is very different for SMEs, and the challenge here is important.

The goal of this Session is to present the latest research and tools in this field. To promote synergies between or within SMEs, Intranet tools today have a key role in the development of company intelligence. In the same way, analysis of large quantities of information will help SMEs to have a better view of their near future and the trends in their area of competence.

In this Session, we want to give a large place to research work on methodologies, tools, experiments and case studies that will show why and how new information technologies help to promote knowledge in companies or institutions. This  Session  will consist of  invited papers, short papers, posters or demonstrations. A Round Table will promote a debate on this issue, encourage audience participation and help reach conclusions.
