Knowledge Management in Process Engineering
The symposium “Knowledge Management in Process Engineering” will present the state-of-the-art survey of the research in this rapidly developing field. It will also create an opportunity to present the results of the recent research as well as the emerging challenges from the perspective of process engineering.
The major topics of this conference are :
- Tools and methods for enhancement of engineers' creativity
- Literature based knowledge discovery – data, graphics and text mining
- Knowledge reuse in product and process design
- Codification and communication of tacit and formal knowledge for design and process operation
- Knowledge structuring – ontologies for practical use
- Knowledge mapping for management of R&D activities
- Update of engineering and legal documents repositories
Scope
The dynamic development of chemical and process engineering observed in the last twenty years has resulted in the generation of a vast amount of data, information, and knowledge. The heterogeneity of the representation and diverse context of applications makes their use a non-trivial task. The additional challenge is a permanently growing demand for the improvement of quality of information retrieval as well as shortening the time needed for getting access to relevant knowledge. The needs of practitioners, researchers and administrators to generate, discover, maintain, use, communicate and up-date knowledge makes knowledge management an important research issue.
