MEME: an adaptive email-based information sharing system for educational institutions
Michael Dain, Jack Brzezinski · 2002
Messaging systems are essential for circulating information within an organization, yet currently the e-mail-based exchange of information does not take advantage of technologies that could change several aspects of the way people share information and knowledge. In this paper we discuss functionality and technologies of an adaptive messaging system. Potentially, messaging systems could be utilized in a number of different modes. They help users to distribute information based on certain explicit of implicit criterions. They can help to find the recipient or a group of recipients for a message to be sent. Proactive information delivery based on information semantics and user profiles is another feature. Finally, messaging systems can influence corporate culture by creating dynamic knowledge sharing communities and supporting complex interactions between the users. Those users who created groups will become group administrators.
