Nov 14, 2001 De Liu, CREC Peer-to-peer Knowledge Management Propose the idea of P2P knowledge management What does P2P mean? How can peer-to-peer help KM? Discuss problems with P2P KM Free-ride Issue and incentive design Impact of technology on organizational exchange network What does Peer-to-Peer mean? Participating computers are both clients and servers. Three kinds of P2P applications P2P information sharing (Napster; FreeNet) distributed resources and/or peer-to-peer routing P2P Collaboration/Communication (groove; ICQ) Distributed computing (SETI@home) Coordinate multiple computers for complex tasks More Features of P2P information sharing Information available at certain time is the sum of the information content each node shares. Nodes can easily join or quit. Make use of under-utilized resources It usually create some redundancy to reduce the impact of single node failure. Load-balancing mechanism. Drawbacks of P2P information sharing Anonymous v.s. Copyright Redundancy v.s. Up-to-date Quality of Service Search Efficiency Free-Ride! Nearly 70% of Gnutella users share no files, nearly 50% of all responses are returned by the top 1% of sharing hosts. … We argue that free riding leads to degradation of the system performance and adds vulnerability to the system. If this trend continues copyright issues might become moot compared to the possible collapse of such systems. (Adar and Huberman 2000, Free Riding on Guttela) Why we propose P2P KM P2P technology fit well with KM objectives Unlock “hidden” organization knowledge Enhance interactions through “push” “pull” Foster knowledge sharing communities Contribute to propagation of tacit knowledge Tolerate fuzzy knowledge and different points of view We expect free-riding issue can be better handled within organization context. Other desirable features: flexible, robust, secure, cost efficiency (?) So what is P2P KM? two components: P2P information sharing component ? explicit knowledge transfer Notificatio
