Making Knowledge Sharing Visible in Software Engineering
نویسنده
چکیده
Most of the problems in software engineering projects seem to have their origin in knowledge sharing difficulties. While software engineering is one of the most knowledge intensive professions, the understanding of the role of knowledge sharing is vital. It requires making knowledge and knowledge sharing more visible than those currently are in practice. Making visible means here to identify what kinds of knowledge sharing there exists and especially what kinds of problems there are in knowledge sharing. This study produced a Knowledge Sharing Framework (KSF) to help making knowledge sharing visible in software engineering work. The KSF was utilized in an empirical case study. The resulting findings can be used for improving knowledge sharing in the organization.

متن کامل8 Reusing Requirements in Global Software Engineering
Knowledge sharing and reuse in global software engineering (GSE) are challenging issues. Knowledge management (KM) is specifically impacted because on top of distance, culture and language mismatches, there is also the perceived risk of sharing something which could mean that others could take over some work. Mistrust and protectionism are often the consequence, leading to insufficient reuse. T...

In this paper, we propose a new approach to software engineering. We organize software engineering concepts, ideas and knowledge along with software development methodologies, tools and techniques into ontologies and use them as a basis for classifying the concepts in communication and allowing knowledge sharing. The explanation of software engineering knowledge formed in our ontologies clarifi...
