mobile information systems and found a promising approach in the interdisciplinary combination of KM and mobile computing to overcome the shortcomings of both areas. Also termed as mKM
THE RESEARCH FIELD TRIES TO COMBINE SPECIFIC STRENGTHS OF BOTH AREAS:
1. Extending knowledge management systems by the anytime, anywhere information access metaphor and making KM functionality available on ultra portable devices.
2. Extending mobile computing to a user-centered discipline that supports the user actively in mobile, knowledge intensive working environments.
