Use of Intelligent Agents As Data Mining Tools In Knowledge Management

Abstract--In this paper we argue that data mining can make a significant contribution to knowledge management initiatives. We use two studies to show how data mining can make the difference during the knowledge management process. First, we describe how data mining was used as part of the knowledge management. Data can be viewed as an abundant, vital and necessary resource in the field of knowledge management. Second Intelligent agents can be used as data mining tool to extract the meaningful information from the raw data. Knowledge management involves the identification and analysis of available and required Knowledge assets from the acquired information. These knowledge assets, related processes and the subsequent planning can be exploited to develop both the assets and the processes so as to fulfill organizational objective
