This page will not include information on how to reach people, except to post links to their websites, or the email address of our members who are publicly working to develop relationships with them. Our laboratory strives to build relationships among people as we work towards common objectives. We encourage our members to take the initiative in developing relationships. In doing so we intend to respect the time and energy of others just as we do our own.
Should you find yourself on this page, then we are very happy you have found us. We hope you understand the importance we place on your help. Please write to our director Andrius Kulikauskas at ms@ms.lt Describe to us how you understand your roles and why, how, what, and whether we might work together. We will gladly record such information here, so that we may all best work with you. If you prefer, we will remove your name entirely.
Our Investigator Updates

With your sponsorship I can attend the October meeting of IrDA in Japan, and also the International symposium on Mobile Multimedia Communication at Waseda University. In this way, your sponsorship also advances our work on the IrDAKiss standard.
Of special interest to: Makers of IrDA tranceivers.
Calibre, Mike Watson. xConnect for Windows 98 is for data transfer between PCs and other IrDA devices, FileConnect is for transfering files, PrintConnect switches the default printer of your laptop to the nearby IrDA printer, SyncMonitor enhances transfer with the Palm PDA. Usage cases can clarify how the IrDAKiss standard will allow you to expand the capabilities of xConnect, FileConnect, PrintConnect, and SyncMonitor, so that users can transfer new combinations of their thoughts and experiences - notes, images, voice, data, code, files.

Knowledge Management Consortium International, Unified Knowledge
Language,

management is the idea that for companies, knowledge is an asset, and should
be managed. The KMCI was started by consultants who wanted to keep
terms like "knowledge management" from being used by just anybody to mean
just anything.
The leader, Ed Swanstrom, is especially interested in
innovation, and a proponent of Extreme
Innovation, which is his term for accelerating innovation by using
the sociology of science, especially the work of Hollins. Chapters
are starting up around the world. I participated in the first and
only meeting of the UKL committee in January, 1999 and presented the only
concrete proposal,
hoping to use it as a forum for pursuing a standard for sequences, hierarchies,
and networks. Since then, the UKL committee has been inactive, and
the entire standards program has submerged. I met with Ed Swanstrom
at PAKeM'99. He had in mind a different
direction for this committee, related to knowledge based systems.
Although the UKL committee is inactive, it can be revived at any moment
by the KMCI leadership. We should be active here in order to make
clear the implications of the Threebook standard in grounding knowledge
management in terms of the individual. At the moment we should learn
for certain whether the UKL committee will meet at the Enterprise Intelligence
conference, and to participate, if it will. [9/99, Andrius Kulikauskas]
Tom Dale, tomdale@rcn.com, chaired the first and only meeting of the Unified Knowledge Language committee, January, 1999 in Silver Springs, Maryland. We met at that conference. He is a management consultant and is one of the leaders of the knowlede management company Applied KM. I spoke with him today, he is very supportive of our work on a standard for notes and wants to participate. In his words, knowledge management should start with the individual, "from the desktop out", rather than "from the server in". [9/99, Andrius Kulikauskas]
