Recommending Domain Experts in a Social Network

This paper presents the expert recommender system, called SWEETS, in its version 2.0, and its implementation in the environment A.M.I.G.O.S., a web based social network (WBSN). This environment is used as a communication and cooperation tool among employees from C.E.S.A.R. - a Brazilian innovative institute in software products. SWEETS uses folksonomy´s emergent ontology to spread the employees´ tacit knowledge throughout the company and thus an interaction improvement will be developed among them. By this, the communication and cooperation among the C.E.S.A.R. employees tend to significant improvements.
