Technology for management and reuse of
enterprise knowledge in software production processes
GESPER aimed at developing software technologies enabling capitalization and distribution of IT knowledge to better face and solve problems related to the development of products and services.
THE PROJECT
GESPER focused on:
- enterprise knowledge formalization and rationalization – to allow all stakeholders to quickly and efficiently share production process information;
- enterprise knowledge classification and management – to unify technical and cultural approach in production process definition;
- enterprise knowledge gathering and extension – to ease reuse of previous expertise;
- enterprise knowledge mining (research functionalities) – to support the exploitation of the information collected in the development of new production processes;
- enterprise knowledge sharing – to establish better collaboration between working groups and industrial clusters in complex and critical project activities.
GESPER studied and designed a set of services to facilitate management and reuse of expertise in software production process, in particular by SME clusters.
GESPER enterprise knowledge management cycle includes:
- enterprise knowledge capturing and gathering – expertise formalization in terms of expertise unit definition
- enterprise memory management – extension and update of available expertise units, inclusion of new expertise units
- enterprise knowledge reuse – problem solving based on previous expertise in similar production processes / application scenarios (expertise unit filtering and customzied views)
Finally, GESPER (web) Window allows to publish a selection of knowledge expertise for the convenience of other IT companies, so to support commercial offer finalized to the establishment of SMEs clusters and networks.
