CREATIVE DESIGN BASED ON KNOWLEDGE MANAGEMENT IN ENGINEERING DESIGN

To support and serve engineering design, creative design based on knowledge management is proposed. The key knowledge factors of creative design are analyzed and discussed, and knowledge extraction tools are utilized to distill the important knowledge to serve for knowledge resource of creative design. The implementation of creative design mode is described and executed, which can promote the intelligent asset of the enterprise and shorten the period of creative design. With this study, design afflatus and conceptual design can be achieved expediently and effectively.

The Knowledge Fermenting Theory and Model

Despite of the fact that knowledge management has become the focus of current literature and management practice, the core process of knowledge has. not been identified. After comparing the pl：ocess of knowledge movement and that of fermenting, we put forward a new model-knowledge fermenting model. In this paper, we thoroughly analyze the element of knowledge fermenting model, and show how knowledge increase is realized through that model.

Research on Knowledge Sharing Behavior Based on Knowledge Convening and Fermenting Model

Despite of the fact that knowledge sharing has become the focus of current literature and management practice, the core process of knowledge sharing has not been identified. What are the main barriers and incentives for people to share their knowledge, what is the internal mechanism of knowledge sharing, and how people evaluate the benefit coming from knowledge sharing are the core areas in knowledge management. In this paper, we reexamine the knowledge sharing based on knowledge convening and fermenting model. After comparing the process of knowledge movement with that of biotic fermenting, several important attributes that knowledge owns are discovered, they are existence of origination, inheritance and variation, the need of assembly for knowledge evolution and medium for knowledge assemblage. Furthermore, the authors put forward a new model--knowledge convening and fermenting model and in this way consider knowledge sharing as a process of knowledge fermenting. The authors thoroughly analyze the biotic attributes of knowledge, the elements of knowledge share fermenting model, and typical knowledge share fermenting.

Research on the Mechanism and the Model of Knowledge Innovation

This paper reviewed the theories about knowledge innovation and proposed the characteristics of knowledge propagating in knowledge innovation. Furthermore, this study adopted the bionics principle and discussed knowledge-fermenting model of knowledge innovation, which is used for uncovering the core course of organizational learning and knowledge innovation and guiding the practice of organizational knowledge innovation. The contribution of this paper is to reveal the mechanism of knowledge innovation.

Expert knowledge maps for knowledge management: a case study inTraditional Chinese Medicine research

OBJECTIVE:To design a model to capture information on the state and trends of knowledge creation,at both an individual and an organizational level,in order to enhance knowledge management.METHODS:We designed a graph-theoretic knowledge model,the expert knowledge map(EKM),based on literature-based annotation.A case study in the domain of Traditional Chinese Medicine research was used to illustrate the usefulness of the model.RESULTS:The EKM successfully captured various aspects of knowledge and enhanced knowledge management within the case-study organization through the provision of knowledge graphs,expert graphs,and expert-knowledge biography.CONCLUSION:Our model could help to reveal thehot topics,trends,and products of the research done by an organization.It can potentially be used to facilitate knowledge learning,sharing and decision-making among researchers,academicians,students,and administrators of organizations.
