School of Electronic, Electrical and Systems Engineering

This is an industrially sponsored research programme. The primary aim is to investigate and identify improvements for managing knowledge within the context of capability engineering. This involves activities such as contextualising and developing an understanding of the problem situation; examining the activities necessary to transform a multi-organisational enterprise; and developing a sector-independent “management of knowledge” approach to support capability engineering. The exploitation route involves embedding and disseminating the results through the company and enterprise processes. The deliverables from this will be a set of publications, guidance notes and an information model, integrated within the capability engineering activity model, for mapping information and knowledge to the processes relevant to the capability support business.
