Advancing Knowledge and the Knowledge Economy

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.
