  We propose, in this paper, a model of continuous use of corporate
collaborative KMS. Companies do not always have the guaranty that their KMS
will be continuously used. This statement can constitute an important obstacle
for knowledge management processes. Our work is based on the analysis of
classical models for initial and continuous use of technologies. We also
analyse the regulation concept and explain how it is valuable to support a
continuous use of KMS. We observed that awareness may be a regulation means
that allows taking this problem into account. Awareness is a concept, which has
been profusely used to improve user experience in collaborative environments.
It is an important element for regulation of activity. In our model, we assume
that one can integrate awareness in information systems to positively influence
beliefs about them. The final objective of our work is to refine some concepts
to fit the particularities of collaborative KMS and to propose an awareness
regulation process using the traces of the users' interactions with the
systems.
