Abstract

Software design processes are complex, highly collaborative and usually performed under time pressure. Knowledge is volatile due to constant turn over in software organizations and continuous advances in design technology. Software engineers usually depend on tacit knowledge shared among them in order to perform their tasks. Communicating this type of knowledge can only be facilitated by creating a shared context among actors. The aim of this paper is to present a proposal for modeling and use of shared contexts for improving software organization's knowledge management, collaboration and learning. We propose a strategy for organizing, capturing and retrieving knowledge into/from organizational memory including contextual information.
