Welcome! (Please read KSL News here.)
Knowledge is the key asset in today's organizations. Proper management and discovery of knowledge can contribute significantly to the survival and prosperity of organizations. As information systems and technologies support the management of knowledge, tremendous opportunities exist for the development of new paradigms, technologies, and methodologies to enhance knowledge management in various domains, such as business intelligence, cybersecurity, and web mining.
The Knowledge Systems Lab (KSL) is an environment to facilitate such development. We develop and validate scalable, intelligent information systems and technologies to contribute to the society. The KSL also serves to support the missions of the School of Business and Economics and the UNC Fayetteville State University.
We invite you to peruse this website and hope you will find some things of interest to you. We encourage you to contact us to discuss your ideas, share your insights, and collaborate on research!
