Know-how management in distributed engineering environments
نویسنده
چکیده
Enterprises need flexibility in application of engineering know-how and continuous increase of engineering know-how to lower cost of production while the speed of changes in the global market place increases. A threat for enterprises however is loss of engineering know-how through floating staff: staff is hired on temporary contracts and experts continuously are looking for new opportunities for self-development. Information and Communication Technology (ICT) offers opportunities for support of management, conservation, accumulation and flexible application of engineering know-how. ICT also can be applied to support synergy between staff know-how and accumulated enterprise know-how. In the paper opportunities created by ICT to realise continuous increase and flexible application of know-how are illustrated by creation of virtual engineering environments.

DisTriB: Distributed Trust Management Model Based on Gossip Learning and Bayesian Networks in Collaborative Computing Systems
The interactions among peers in Peer-to-Peer systems as a distributed collaborative system are based on asynchronous and unreliable communications. Trust is an essential and facilitating component in these interactions specially in such uncertain environments. Various attacks are possible due to large-scale nature and openness of these systems that affects the trust. Peers has not enough inform...

متن کاملAn Improved Token-Based and Starvation Free Distributed Mutual Exclusion Algorithm
Distributed mutual exclusion is a fundamental problem of distributed systems that coordinates the access to critical shared resources. It concerns with how the various distributed processes access to the shared resources in a mutually exclusive manner. This paper presents fully distributed improved token based mutual exclusion algorithm for distributed system. In this algorithm, a process which...
متن کاملHigh performance computing in simulation that fulfils user-driven quality criteria
Simulation is part of engineering processes. Considerations in the present paper concern simulation as a stand-alone process, with (on application level) no interrupts from the simulation environment. Simulation environments consist of computer systems, software, data and supporting documents. Accessibility of the simulation environments for engineers and performance of the computers determine ...
متن کاملLeadership and Leadership Development in Healthcare Settings – A Simplistic Solution to Complex Problems?
There is a trend in health systems around the world to place great emphasis on and faith in improving ‘leadership’. Leadership has been defined in many ways and the elitist implications of traditional notions of leadership sit uncomfortably with modern healthcare organisations. The concept of distributed leadership incorporates inclusivity, collectiveness and collaboration, with the result that...
