This discussion group at Stanford, led by Anna Perini and others, delves into the standardization of Agent-based Management Knowledge Models (AMKM). Key questions explored include defining what constitutes a standard and the essential requirements for an AMKM standard. The session emphasizes existing frameworks such as FIPA and Semantic Web while focusing on knowledge management's unique needs. The conversation outlines necessary support for KM processes, knowledge representation, and the adoption of standard languages for effective system architecture and design.

AMKM Standardization Unified Architectures, Methods and tools Discussion group: Nuno Santo, Anna Perini, Norman K. MA Renata Guizzardi, Joao Alfredo Magalhales, Cesar Tacla Tanner Jackson, Gianluca Mameli AMKM03 – Stanford, by A. Perini
Taking into account the following considerations: 2 basic questions have been discussed: • What is a standard? • What should an AMKM standard require? (i.e. how should an AMKM standard look like?) • Use what already exists, e.g. FIPA, SEMANTICWEB, AOSE. • Try to focus on KM and its peculiar needs • Concepts. For us: - AGENT: as in FIPA - AMKM is a sw system supporting KM processes AMKM03 – Stanford, by A. Perini
1) What is a standard? • WEAK definition:a reference for developers of AMKM applications, providing guidelines for: • Specifying the requirements of an AMKM system • Specifying basic components of an AMKM system Architecture • STRONG definition: a set of tests an AMKM system must respond in order to be compliant with "AMKM.0 standard" AMKM03 – Stanford, by A. Perini
2) What should an AMKM standard require? 1/3 • it should require that an AMKM system supports KM processes such as: • Perspective making (i.e. building the local knowledge of an actor, i.e. a person or a group, in such a way that it can answer the question "what I know, what I do?") • Representing knowledge • Representing a context • Mantaining knowledege • Preserving knowledge • Publishing knowledge • Knowledge evolution • … - Perspective taking (i.e. coordination processes) • Context matching • Cooperative info retrieval • Knowledge evolution AMKM03 – Stanford, by A. Perini
2) What should an AMKM standard require? 2/3 • it should require to adopt standard knowledge representation languages/techniques, such as: • A standard content representation language • A standard K. context representation and matching language AMKM03 – Stanford, by A. Perini
2) What should an AMKM standard require? 3/3 • it should require to adopt a standard specification language for: • Requirements (including modeling of the KM processes in the organization) • Architectural and detailed design (including the specification of the KM processes carried out/ supported by the system) How can we go on? • detailing further a), b) and c) • looking at available proposal for standards: e.g. FIPA and pointing out amKM needs • suggestions???
