Special Projects: Acquisition, Preservation and Re-use of Programmatic Knowledge

Gonzalez，Avelino J.中央佛罗里达大学特别项目：程序性知识的获取、保存和再利用。 这项建议旨在提供工具和方法，以管理商业机构的基本知识，目的是将有价值和易变的知识保存在以知识为基础的媒介中，以便于再利用。这项工作代表了一个控制调查的过程中管理的知识作为一个案例研究的NSF的工业/大学合作研究中心计划（I/UCRC）的程序性知识，使未来再利用的知识。将从NSF I/UCRC项目办公室以及各个中心的主题专家那里获得项目知识。这些知识将被纳入一个以知识为基础的系统，以供保存和再利用。在确认和验证该系统后，将进行培训。严格衡量的好处，其预期的效用的评价将遵循拟议项目的智力价值和贡献在于长期的案例研究中的应用现代知识为基础的技术在知识管理在现实世界的领域。长期的案例研究可以为知识管理社区提供知识获取、表示和重用方面的宝贵经验。这些研究在出版的文献中很少，更广泛的影响是通过学生和潜在的推广过程到其他组织。该项目涉及两名计算机工程专业的研究生，涉及启发和开发。一个，专注于知识启发，将居住在DC/VA地区，并将参加和密切关注该计划所需的现场访问。另一个侧重于鉴定和核实，将获得知识并为专家系统的开发作出贡献。此外，案例研究将被纳入知识管理课程。

Gonzalez, Avelino J. University of Central Florida Special Project: Acquisition, Preservation, and Re-Use of Programmatic Knowledge . This proposal, striving to provide tools and methods to manage essential knowledge in business organizations, aims at preserving valuable and volatile knowledge in a knowledge-based medium for ease in re-use. The work represents a controlled investigation into the process of managing knowledge using as a case study the programmatic knowledge of NSF's Industry/University Cooperative Research Centers program (I/UCRC) enabling future re-use of the elicited knowledge. Programmatic knowledge will be elicited from the subject matter experts at the NSF I/UCRC program office as well as at various centers. The knowledge will be incorporated into a knowledge-based system for preservation and reuse. After validating and verifying the system, training will ensue. Rigorously measuring the benefits, an evaluation of its projected usefulness will follow.The intellectual merit and contributions of the proposed project lie in the long-term case study about the application of modern knowledge-based techniques in knowledge management within the real-world domain. Long-term case studies can provide invaluable experience in knowledge elicitation, representation, and re-use for the knowledge management community. These studies are scarce in the published literature.Broader impact is addressed through students and potential generalization of the process to other organizations. The project involves two graduate students in computer engineering addressing elicitation and development. One, focusing in knowledge elicitation, will reside in DC/VA area and will attend and follow closely the site visits necessary for the program. The other, focusing in validation and verification, will receive the knowledge and contribute in the development of the expert system. Moreover, the case study will be incorporated into classes in knowledge management.
