Abstract
The KIM project was a 3 year, £5million programme funded primarily by the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) and the Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC). It brought together a team of some 70 academics and researchers from 11 universities to look at the knowledge management challenges associated with the move towards through life support.
Our focus was on ‘Managing the Knowledge System Life Cycle – Life Cycle Decision Support’, which was one of the sub-tasks of the overall project. The research team working on this sub-task was a composition of teams from the Universities of Salford, Cambridge, Reading and Loughborough. The Loughborough team focused on investigating the wider implications of DMS (Decision-Making Systems) and also providing different views on the decision context.
