24 – Hour Knowledge Factory : One Instance of Services Computing
نویسندگان
چکیده
The 24Hour Knowledge Factory is a service oriented architecture model that goes beyond the conventional global delivery model. It involves round-the-clock operations through the establishment of three or more development teams around the globe. Complex projects are iteratively broken down into simpler modules, with each “composite persona” (CP) being responsible for one such model. Developers around the globe only work during their regular day hours; unfinished work is handed off to the next CP driver. The 24-Hour Knowledge Factory concept brings together business processes and IT services to provide a new services computing solution.

Inspired by round-the-clock manufacturing, the 24-Hour Knowledge Factory endeavors to transform the production of software and other intangibles into a process of continuous development. While the concept of offshore software development is well established, few enterprises are currently able to develop the same code artifacts around the clock. We discuss the benefits of applying the 24Hour Kno...
متن کاملOffshore-Onsite Team Dynamics: Applications of the 24-Hour Knowledge Factory
Purpose: Starting from the observation that new types of distributed work arrangements across organizational and national borders are emerging, we decided to investigate a particular type of globally distributed team (GDT): the 24-hour knowledge factory, where individuals work “around the clock” or “follow the sun”. Our research question is: “How do individuals share knowledge during hand offs ...
متن کاملThe Use of Information Systems in Collocated and Distributed Teams: a Test of the 24-hour Knowledge Factory
Recent academic and policy studies focus on offshoring as a cost-of-labor driven activity that has a direct impact on employment opportunities in the countries involved. This paper broadens this perspective by introducing and evaluating the 24-hour knowledge factory as a model of information systems offshoring that leverages other strategic factors beyond cost savings. A true 24-hour knowledge ...

متن کاملLeveraging temporal and spatial separations with the 24-hour knowledge factory paradigm
The 24-hour knowledge factory paradigm facilitates collaborative effort between geographically distributed offshore teams. The concept of handoff, along with the vertical segregation of tasks, enables software development teams to work on a continuous basis on the project. This notion is made possible through efficient knowledge representation, as the process of handoff essentially entails all ...
