Abstract

This paper addresses the challenge of enhancing the social dimension of lifelong Competence Development and Management Systems with social network-based concepts and tools. Our premise is that through a combination of social network visualization tools, simulations, stimulus agents and management policies, we may improve the self-organizing and knowledge sharing capabilities of communities of CDMS users. The ultimate objective is to increase system usage toward a sustainable level of knowledge exchange and creation.
