The development of knowledge management (KM) and e-learning (EL) naturally brings both disciplines closer and encourages integration. There are several models that offer possible ways of such integration. With the goal to develop practically applicable integration solution for specific organization, existing integration models are analysed in this paper. The main criterion for analysis is appli...

This report summarizes presentations and discussions of the IEEE WETICE 2003 Workshop on Knowledge Management for Distributed Agile Processes. The main goals of the workshop were to bring together practitioners and researchers from the areas of Knowledge Management and Agile Processes from different domains to discuss the current state of ongoing research efforts and to share practical experien...

The paper presents a knowledge-based reverse engineering approach to identify several parametric CAD models from point clouds and manage the relationships between the CAD models. This knowledge intensive process enables designer interaction to capture design intents and to integrate digital data from previous product in a new product lifecycle. The obtained parametric CAD models are easy to cha...

When conducting workshops with business people, there is a significant risk to become bogged down in the details of the underlying business process rather than seeing the big picture of the value provided by the process to its stakeholders. In this paper, we describe combination of methods that we use in workshops with business people to entice them to be more creative when thinking about new p...

This paper first introduces a new discipline knowledge science and the role of systems science in its development. Then, after the discussion on current trend in systems science, the paper proposes a new systems methodology for knowledge management and creation. Finally, the paper discusses mathematical modeling techniques to represent and manage human knowledge that is essentially vague and co...

This paper describes ICOT’s research and development activities on knowledge base systems. Our approach is to investigate knowledge base systems from the viewpoint of logic programming. We have defined several models on the bases of which knowledge base systems will be developed step by step. Two types of knowledge base management software system models are discussed. One is a model combining a...
