Abstract

In many professional activities, the ability to retrieve and store knowledge in a mobile situation is crucial. This need, together with the progress of mobile devices, has led to the emergence of mobile knowledge management. In this paper, we propose a context-aware knowledge management architecture for mobile environments and apply it to an auditing use case. We developed the MobileAudit prototype using the proposed architecture. MobileAudit enables environmental audits according to US as well as European EMAS (ISO 14001) legislation.
