Facilitating Design Knowledge Reuse Through Relationships
Design reuse is an approach in which the creation of new designs is based on the identification of previously employed solutions and the incorporation of those into new contexts. This notion has been extensively studied especially by software engineers. This research seeks to support the reuse of …

Knowledge Reuse as a Foundation for Security Metrics
… of conceptualizing attack difficulty in terms of knowledge reuse. To this end, we present two models---one abstract model inspired by artificial intelligence search and another model, product family algebra, inspired by software components. Using these models we propose three new metrics: …

Knowledge Reuse Through Electronic Knowledge Repositories: An Empirical Study And Ontological Improvement Effort For The Manufacturing Industry
<p>Knowledge management adoption is growing, and will continue to grow in no small part because of its recent inclusion into the ISO 9001 quality standard. As organizations look towards ways in which to manage their knowledge, the codification of explicit knowledge through Knowledge Management …

Visual Graphic Knowledge Management Methodology
… of three major components: visual graphic knowledge representation, automatic knowledge reuse, and automatic knowledge retrieval. In the visual graphic knowledge representation, the knowledge engineers apply the visual graphic knowledge base technology (67) (68) to preserve the domain …

Supporting Requirements Reuse in a User-centric Design Framework through Task Modeling and Critical Parameters
… offers natural user centricity and facilitates knowledge reuse through the generation of claims. Unfortunately, the requirements-analysis phase of scenario-based design does not offer sufficient built-in and explicit techniques needed for capturing the critical-parameter requirements of a …

Representing information flow and knowledge management in product design using the design structure matrix
… philosophy. Reusing the past engineering design knowledge helps to speed up the product development process. The Ford Direct Engineering (DE) program semi-automates the product design process and increases the knowledge re-use capability of the organization. This thesis uses the Design Structure …

Examining the Continued Usage of Electronic Knowledge Repositories: An Integrated Model
Knowledge has long been recognized as one of the most valuable assets in an organization. Managing and organizing knowledge has become an important corporate strategy for organizations to gain and maintain competitive advantages in the information age. Electronic knowledge repositories (EKRs) have …

User-Centered Critical Parameters for Design Specification, Evaluation, and Reuse: Modeling Goals and Effects of Notification Systems
… inhibiting scientific growth and knowledge reuse that should help designers advance the state-of-the-art. To this end, we developed a framework (referred to as the IRC framework) for notification systems research based on a core taxonomy of critical parameters describing user …

Integrating scenario-based usability engineering and agile software development
… because there has not been adequate transfer of knowledge between practice and academia. This motivated my creation of the eXtreme Scenario-Based Design (XSBD) process, an integrated agile usability approach. XSBD provides key usability benefits of the scenario-based design (SBD) approach (an …

Exploring Support for Knowledge Utilisation: Decision Making in Complex Interdisciplinary Engineering Systems
… their organisation for decades accruing specific knowledge. Many of these engineers are nearing retirement and the resulting knowledge loss is predicted to be highly detrimental, especially for innovation in organisations that use adaptive designs that have a high level of complexity. Many …

Representation decomposition for knowledge extraction and sharing using restricted Boltzmann machines
… algorithms based on RBMs, the question of how knowledge is represented, and could be shared by such networks, has received comparatively little attention. Neural networks are notorious for being difficult to interpret. The area of knowledge extraction addresses this problem by translating …
