Risk Management in a Mobile Scenario

Tilo DickoppResearcher
University of Mannheim, Germany

Technology risk management is a mostly uncovered area for knowledge management applications in finance. In this presentation a method is presented that applies semantic web technologies such as the Web Ontology Language (OWL) and automatic reasoning for supporting knowledge-intensive risk management processes. Since effective risk management requires decision makers to access a knowledge base often and from everywhere it is the next logical step to implement mobile applications for this purpose. However, semantic web technologies are heavy-weight and difficult to implement in the limited resources of a mobile environment. Solutions for this problem are investigated in this presentation.
