AKM Vision, Mission and Strategy

• The AKM Vision is to allow industrial practitioners to compose and manage services, and model-configure workplaces for services execution.

• AKM Mission is to develop AKM platforms, enabling cross-enterprise and interdisciplinary design collaboration

• Our strategy is to work in leading innovation projects with selected industries, harnessing leading knowledge, best practices and novel solutions

Business Opportunity

• The collaborative business need– “Innovative design is the most competitive instrument of global

engineering and manufacturing”, says Peter Fingar

• The timing is right– Industry challenges remain unsolved, demands have exploded, other

technologies have failed and visual web-computing have matured

• Enabling industrial services– AKM and web technologies, enabling Model-configured solutions,

constitute a knowledge-sharing medium and layers of generic platforms and services

AKM of Enterprises - Objectives

Learn how and what about:

Active or interactive knowledge models, supporting new approaches, methodologies and solutions to support innovative design

The approach to transfer static and fragmented information into active, sharable and reusable knowledge

Creating collaboration spaces of reusable knowledge constructs to involve SMEs and novices without IT investments and training

Integrating the enterprise by aligning knowledge worker views as models, model-configured solutions and workplaces

New approaches to solutions development, and new ways of creating workplaces and performing design and creative work

Contents - Modules

• Welcome address• Motivation for AKM,:

- Value Propositions, Benefits, Industrial Challenges• Industrial Examples:

– Repeating some core modeling concepts– car seat heating and aircraft landing gear

• C3S3P Approach, – an AKM model focusing customer delivery

• Coffee Break• CPPD Methodology,

– navigating a model (links to solution)• AKM Platform and Service layers

– Model-configured, user-composed platform services• AKM Concepts and Principles,

– Supporting innovative design• Q and A and evaluation (portal)

What is Active Knowledge Modeling?

Externalizing, sharing, discovering, harnessing and cultivating knowledge:

Models are created by experienced knowledge workers

Models and modeling languages evolve as work is performed

Models are composed of reflective views of many types

Representation of enterprise knowledge spaces: Enabling multi-dimensional modeling to handle complex dependencies

Developing and extending the Enterprise Knowledge Architecture

Enabling view types, role views, and user defined views

Based on a web platform supporting model management: Model-designed and -generated workplaces

Model-designed and -configured platforms and services

Model Designed Solutions – new approach to SD&SE

Social and organizational development Supporting user networking, and competence and skill management

Supporting human collaboration and coordination

Supporting on-the-job-training and individual and team role-play

Value Propositions

• Unleash the power of IT to support creative work– Drive IT by pragmatics, competent people’s knowledge

– Compose customized business solutions from PLM, BPM, and SOA

– New approach to IT development, delivery and support

• Reduce product development lead time– Reuse and adapt existing knowledge and product structures

– Enable collaborative design and concurrent engineering

– Reduce re-work and change management

• Increase innovation– Facilitate knowledge capture and osmosis

– Implement visual collaboration spaces

– Power networked innovation across supply- and consumer-networks

Benefits

• Cut IT costs dramatically, particularly for networked partnering

• Reduce time-to-market for products by 20 to 30 %,

• Support on-the-job training, preparing workers for more aggressive bidding

• Support goal-oriented team-working raising peoples motivation

• Increasing stakeholder involvement, user interactions and interoperability

Industrial Challenges

Early design is poorly supported (by courtesy of CR Fiat)

Activation

• Activation = Initiative + Interpretation + Action• Three ways

– Manual: The users interpret the model and act accordingly – Automatic: The system interprets and executes the model– Interactive: The users and the system cooperaet or share actions

• Who does what when? Who takes the initiative?

What is Active Knowledge

1. Enterprise aspects are mutually dependent – ”knowledge spaces”

2. The real-world is role, task, information and view oriented

3. Most models are schemaes of diagrams, charts and ”calculus”, ie. no knowledge layers, no reflection, and no reuse

4. Workflow and time-dimension phases must be relaxed/expanded,

5. Present Systems Engineering do not handle multiple parameter sets and aggregation , se upper figure

6. Visual knowledge representation and properties are poorly understood

7. Learning, design and problem-solving use similar methods and have similar needs, se lower figure

8. Legacy systems are a barrier to interoperability and reuse, made worse by legacy thinking.

Contents - Modules

- Value Propositions, Benefits, Industrial Challenges• Industrial Examples:

Models and Containers

POPS Dimensions

• The POPS dimensions– Product– Organization– Process – System/Infrastructure

• In a design situation a Process requires an Organization and a System to develop the Product– The process describes what to do – The organization provides the resources and the skills– The system provides the services required

Templates and Meta-models

Mutually Reflective Views

Product

Complex relationships,

tasks, decisions

Process

• An object in one view will have reflections in other dimensions– No orthogonal, layered meta-hierarchy– No difference between modeling and metamodeling

• View connections and dependencies are designed or automatically created

• Types and kinds of views for each design role

• A content view for role A may be a definition view or functional view for role B

Contents - Modules

- Value Propositions, Benefits, Industrial Challenges

• Core Modeling Concepts• Industrial Examples:

– navigating a model (links to solution)

• AKM Platform and Service layers– Model-configured, user-composed platform services

• AKM Concepts and Principles,– Supporting innovative design

• Q and A and evaluation (portal)

AKM’s shown in the Seminar

Models Kongsberg Automotive AB (KA)• Scaffolding Model to illustrate approaches to introduce AKM• Solution Model, focusing Requirements Handling and agreed

purpose of the models• Scenario Model, piloting Material Specification etc. to illustrate

the applications of executable task-patterns

• CPPD Methodology Model to illustrate what is involved in terms of methodologies and services for customer adaptation and extension

Models from other sources, Athena and AKM• Collaboration Space Model from the Athena project to

illustrate platform and services for formation and use• AKM Approach Model from AKM to illustrate the steps of

introducing and delivering AKM solutions to industry

Holistic Design Approach

Supporting Collaborative Design

• Design requires support for– Instance-driven modelling– Designer-managed meta-data– Strong viewing and presentation capabilities– Model and view comparison, merging, alignment and

differentiation– Parameter-structure propagation and aggregation to manage

values– Concurrently working on alternative solution models

• Concurrency requires support for– New ways of supporting work management– Task definition, monitoring, assignment, execution and

management– Service-team organizations– Managing multiple types and kinds of views

Operational Knowledge Architectures

• A common framework (model) for reusing sub-models across networks

• Clearly defined ownership of each model and main variants

• Clearly defined links to support:– Sub-model inclusion– Clearly defined ownership to cross-model relationships

• Common views for analysis and presentation:– Handling overlapping and conflicts– Achieving simplification and reuse

Modeling Architecture

Each container represents a sub-model

Relationships imply sub-model inclusion
