Computer Science—the theory, representation, processing, communication and use of information—is fundamentally transforming every aspect of human endeavor. The Department of Computer Science at Iowa State University advances computational and information sciences through; 1. educational and research programs within and beyond the university; 2. active engagement to help define national and international research, and 3. educational agendas, and sustained commitment to graduating leaders for academia, industry and government.
History
The Computer Science Department was officially established in 1969, with Robert Stewart serving as the founding Department Chair. Faculty were composed of joint appointments with Mathematics, Statistics, and Electrical Engineering. In 1969, the building which now houses the Computer Science department, then simply called the Computer Science building, was completed. Later it was named Atanasoff Hall. Throughout the 1980s to present, the department expanded and developed its teaching and research agendas to cover many areas of computing.

Abstract
An Organization's success and growth are increasingly becoming dependent upon how efficiently the Business Processes are managed. Knowledge Management and Organizational Memory have become critical components in the management of Business Processes. As, the Business Process Managers, Participants and End Users are dependent upon information and knowledge from myriad sources, thus their ability to proficiently access, use and generate new knowledge from existing knowledge has become quite vital. Organizations today work as an interconnected web of their Business Processes. Thus to ensure success, to garner the enhanced organizational capabilities and to have sustain performance improvements, they should incorporate knowledge-sharing among different teams. We present a model, based on Shared Group Topic Map approach which uses these concepts and illustrate its use by way of supporting a group search implementation. The design, implementation and example scenario of this system are given and explained.
