4-th International Symposium on Intelligent Distributed - PowerPoint PPT Presentation

4-th International Symposium on Intelligent Distributed Computing Articulation and Sharing of Distributed Design Project and Process Knowledge a short paper  Vadim Ermolayev Frank Dengler Eyck Jentzsch Wolf-Ekkehard Matzke Tangier, Morocco, September 16, 2010 IDC 2010 September 12, 2010 1

Agenda Agenda Accent pretty much on what is not in the paper  … Research in the context of ACTIVE IP  ◦ Case Study – focus on performance management (informal processes) Approach and Prototype Architecture  Implementation Results  Knowledge Representation  Summary  IDC 2010 September 12, 2010 2

ACTIVE Integrated Project (FP7) ACTIVE Integrated Project (FP7) Aim:  Increasing the productivity ◦ of knowledge workers in a pro-active, contextualized, yet easy and unobtrusive way Approach:  Convert tacit and unshared ◦ knowledge – the "hidden intelligence" of enterprises – into transferable, interoperable and actionable knowledge to support seamless collaboration and to enable problem solving Focus:  Productivity in informal ◦ processes IDC 2010 September 12, 2010 3

ACTIVE: Informal Processes ACTIVE: Informal Processes Informal processes are carried out by knowledge  workers with their skills, experience and knowledge, often to perform difficult tasks which require complex, informal decisions among multiple possible strategies to fulfill specific goals In contrast to business processes which are formal,  standardized, and repeatable, knowledge processes are often not even written down, let alone denoted formally, vary from person to person to achieve the same objective, and are often not repeatable Knowledge workers create informal processes on the  fly in many situations of their daily work IDC 2010 September 12, 2010 4
