Ontology and Agent Based Model for Software Development Best Practices’ Integration in a Knowledge Management System

  • Conference paper

Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Computer Science ((LNISA,volume 4278))

Abstract

In this paper, we will focus on the importance of management of knowledge held by the organization’s human resources and gained through experience and practice. For this issue, we propose a model for software best practices’ integration in a Knowledge Management System (KMS) of a Software Development Community of Practices (SDCoP). This model aims on the one hand, to integrate human, organizational, cultural and technical dimensions of the Knowledge Management (KM) discipline and on the other hand, to cover all the KM’s process. In response to these needs, the proposed model, purpose of this paper, is founded on the basis of ontologies and intelligent agents’ technologies.
