Presentation title: Knowledge capturing, storing, keeping up-to-date: It’s all about communication
Presentation abstract: This KSEE is about knowledge capturing, storing and keeping it up to date. For all these, there has to be a transfer of knowledge. Transfer of knowledge means communication [Nonaka and Takeuchi, 1995]. There are different ways of storing the results (MBSE, Architecture Models, A3 Architecture Overviews, etc.) of which we will see examples in the KSEE. These all relate to the right hand side of the Nonaka and Takeuchi model. As the concept of common ground [Clark and Brennan, 1991], also used by [Schramm, 1954] explains, the formalisms used in the right hand side of the Nonaka and Takeuchi model have to be understandable by all involved to have successful communication.
In this presentation, we will look how the different formalisms, methods and models fit within the communication framework of Schramm, and how they contribute to knowledge creation as seen by Nonaka and Takeuchi. Special attention will be paid to the A3 Architecture Overviews, how they evolved and ways to extend them even further.
Biography: G. Maarten Bonnema is an associate professor in multidisciplinary systems design at the Department of Design, Production and Management of the Faculty of Engineering Technology at the University of Twente, and is part-time associate professor at the Norwegian Institute of Systems Engineering (NISE) in Kongsberg, Norway. He studied Electronic Engineering, and did a two year designer course on Technical Systems. He has worked as a Systems Engineer at ASML, contributing to the TwinScan system design. He received his PhD in 2008 from the University of Twente on FunKey Architecting. In 2006 and 2007 he was involved in the design of a wafer stepper at MAPPER lithography (part time).
In the young multidisciplinary systems design group at the UT, the various tracks of research aim at supporting system designers, conceptual design and mechatronic design by improving multidisciplinary communication. Also systems thinking is researched.
At NISE, he is mainly researching Electric Mobility from a Systems Engineering point of view. This involves modelling the system and supersystem, investigating the charging infrastructure, and looking at man-machine interaction.
An overview of publications can be found at http://doc.utwente.nl/view/author/297548018.html. He has a broad teaching expertise spanning design in general, industrial design, and systems engineering. He is involved in various student projects as a tutor.
