CLOCKWORK: Creating Learning Organisation with Contextualised Knowledge-Rich Artifacts

The Clockwork project is based in the dynamical systems engineering field. In common with other innovation and developments areas, even when the easily articulated knowledge is captured, the work of development teams is still not well supported. This is because much of the important knowledge is not held in static documents giving abstract, decontextualised and rationalized accounts of what was done and how. Therefor, the main objectives of the project were to support teams in sharing knowledge enriched simulation models of dynamical systems, to support reuse of simulation and modelling knowledge across the organisation, and to support cautious knowledge sharing between engineering companies.

The partners of the project were five European universities and institutes and two industrial partners from car and heating industry. More details about the project can be found at the Clocwork project homepage.
