Abstract
The disciplines of knowledge engineering and knowledge management
are closely tied. Knowledge engineering deals with the development
of information systems in which knowledge and reasoning play pivotal
roles. Knowledge management, a newly developed field at the intersection
of computer science and management, deals with knowledge as a key
resource in modern organizations. Managing knowledge within an organization
is inconceivable without the use of advanced information systems;
the design and implementation of such systems pose great organization
as well as technical challenges. The book covers in an integrated
fashion the complete route from corporate knowledge management, through
knowledge analysis and engineering, to the design and implementation
of knowledge-intensive information systems. The CommonKADS methodology,
developed over the last decade by an industry-university consortium
led by the authors, is used throughout the book. CommonKADS makes
as much use as possible of the new UML notation standard. Beyond
information systems applications, all software engineering and computer
systems projects in which knowledge plays an important role stand
to benefit from the CommonKADS methodology.
