Dear colleague, We are kindly inviting you to submit a structured abstract for the 11th International Forum on Knowledge Assets Dynamics (IFKAD 2016) on the theme: "Towards a New Architecture of Knowledge: Big Data, Culture and Creativity dots". The Forum will take place in Dresden (Germany)on 15-17 June 2016.   THEME OF THE IFKAD 2016: A core driver for rethinking and innovating knowledge work is the increasing interdependence of big data, culture, and creativity. Ubiquitous information and communication technologies produce an ever-expanding amount of data, whose value is hard to tap with principles of conventional data processing – but how to design new methods of analysis? Organizational and community culture is a decisive frame for unprejudiced and venturesome intra- and entrepreneurship, which may result in disruptive solutions – but how to display and nurture the volatile facets of culture? Finally, creativity is one of the remaining human faculties that cannot be replaced by computers by now – but how to reach higher levels of creativity and discover new application fields?   CONFERENCE TOPICS AND TRACKS: The IFKAD 2016 addresses three key topics leading towards a new architecture of knowledge: big data, culture and creativity. In view of radically changing demands on knowledge work as an eminent factor for personal, organizational, and societal success its patterns have to be rethought. New ways of creating, processing, and sharing knowledge must be discovered beyond the classic paths of established disciplines For more detailed information, please see main themes and topics and special trackssections of the conference website. For the PhD students we encourage them to submit their structured abstract for the Doctoral Consortium   PUBLICATION PLAN: All accepted and registered papers will be included in the Forum Proceedings with ISBN and ISSN number.
