Abstract:
Distributed technologies attract researchers interest as they propose many technological, but as well organizational and end-user benefits. With development of Web 2.0 and Cloud computing, distributed networks are considered as new source of business opportunities. The present research will identify advantages and limitations of distributed knowledge management systems (DKMS). Thus technologies and models of distrubuted KMS will be assessed as an alternative approach to centralized KMS. A review of several theoretical DKMS model will be made in order to outline the common characteristics and alternative approaches to DKMS architecture. At the end will be summarised conclusions for development of new theoretical model of user-centered DKMS.
