Chapter 5: Knowledge Management (starting May 20
th
, 2014)
Knowledge is THE critical factor for
successful technological developments.
In simulation and modeling experts need to
share their knowledge to achieve
synergies. This means explicating tacit
knowledge.
As it is a most success-critical resource, we
need to find out how we can make
knowledge available to the development
processes in simulation and modeling.
