Abstract
Knowledge Management (KM) can be considered a management theory that links concrete temporal activities to the production of concrete effects in humans or information-encoding artfacts. Information System support for KM thus requires the engineering of software-supported tasks of a concrete kind in which functional size should be linked to a notion of activity support more specific than those currently used in software size estimation techniques. This paper explores the novel concept of sizing of KM software support which could be used both as a measure of a specific kind of software and also as a comparative tool for Information System coverage of KM elements.
