 KNOWMATICS'''

Knowmatics is the scientific study of the structure, representation and communication of knowledge using mathematical and engineering tools for developing Knowledge Industries and bringing out value-added Knowledge Packages, Services and Solutions. Knowmatics is based on Mathew's Theories of Knowledge Consumption- Production Growth (1985).

Knowmatics was propounded in Jan. 2005 at Calicut University, Kerala, India in connection with a Conference on Twenty Years of Mathew's Theories of Knowledge Consumption- Production Growth. Dr. K. N. Soman's doctoral research on the Application of Mathew's Theories of Knowledge on Skill Acquisition and Scientific Productivity, Dr. Vijayakumar's doctoral research on the theoretical foundations of Information Technology and Dr. M. Muraly's work on the Knowledge Structure of the Vedas and Upanishads, held at Calicut University, helped Mathew to propound Knowmatics.

The theoretical basis and practical applications of Knowmatics were explored in a two day conference, 'Knowmatics, Knowledge Industries and Kerala's Development' held at Calicut University on 28-29 May 2005. Knowmatics was introduced for the first time before the global academic community for the Fourth World Universities Forum held at Hong Kong, Jan. 14-16, 2011 by Dr. Raju M. Mathew and Ranjit Mathew. Its video presentation has been posted in YouTube.The paper 'Knowmatics - A New Revolution in Higher Education' was published in the Journal of the World Universities Forum 4,1,2011:1-11. The paper was nominated as a finalist for the international award of excellence.

A series of power point presentations on Knowmatics and Mathew's Theories of Knowledge have been posted in www.slideshare.net/drrajumathew that help a major business group to invest heavily in developing Knowmatics and Knowledge Industries, using the vast untapped brain power and knowledge bases of Kerala, for the global knowledge market, by treating Knowledge as a Product for Consumption, Production and Marketing.
