1. Background

Increasing number of multidisciplinary complex works in construction industry (CI), particularly for maintenance / restoration of old and CH buildings.

The nature of these works requires small, highly competent and flexible organisations, i.e. specialised SMEs.

Lack of information flow between different actors taking a role in the processes.

2. Needs

Innovative solutions to support new forms of collaborative working networks of SMEs and RTD experts for restoration and maintenance.

SMEs need to:

– Create business collaborations to carry out complex projects

– Access to competitive knowledge in materials/processes


5

3. Business Objectives

Advanced and cost-effective solution The project plans to develop an ICT solution, which will

include:– (1) an advanced support for realisation of new forms for SME-RTD

networking through their specific knowledge/competence integration, within a new collaboration structure and

– (2) innovative services for competitive knowledge sharing and training providing

The system should provide the possibility for interactive sharing, generation and reuse of the branch specific knowledge and essential expertise


6

4. S&T Objectives

Methodology for creation of SME-RTD Virtual Collaborative Networks (VCNs), supported by a set of models and methods for:– Network set-up (respecting organisational, cultural and technical aspects) and – Procedures/models for knowledge structuring and management, adapted

specifically for and by SMEs.

SOA platform, hosting a set of services for: 1. Management of Social Interactions (MSI) Services enabling a framework for

collaboration (VCN establishment).

2. Ontology and KM Services for efficient knowledge collection and sharing within the RTD-SME networks.

3. Technology Enhanced e-Learning (TEL). Definition and development of an optimal form of e-learning from inputs of KM Services. The platform should enable interactive knowledge sharing among RTDs & SMEs within VCNs.

5. H-KNOW Concept (II)

MSI Services– Creation of Virtual Collaborative Networks (VCNs) out

of a Virtual Breeding Environment (VBE)• Searching for optimal team (VCN creation)• Searching for expertise

– Collaboration tracing (statistics)– Select communication needs (voice, e-mail, chat, etc)

5. H-KNOW Concept (III)

KM Services and Ontology– Knowledge collection from CKR and experts

• Ontology definition

– Resource discovery (searching) for similar works– Customized services to support works (CASS)

• Business Cases Specific Services


10

5. H-KNOW Concept (IV)

TEL Services– Discovery of Learning pills from inputs of the Ontology

and KM Services• Learning Objects creation

– Courses scheduling– Courses tracking

6. Business Cases (I)

BC1 (German) - Gathering of knowledge related to new materials/processes & VCN business aspects (MSI & KM Services) – Focus on the realisation of the Collaborative Application Specific

Services "Energy-efficient buildings restoration" and "Old Building Maintenance".

– Application of the:• MSI services for organisation of the innovative long-term

collaboration forms, • KM based services for monitoring of new materials related

knowledge sources and for collection of documents related to business aspects in SME networks.


14

6. Business Cases (II)

BC2 (Spanish) - CH restoration knowledge gathering & transfer into a learning content (KM & TEL Services) – Focus on the realisation of the Collaborative Application Specific

Service "CH Object restoration“.– KM services:

• Appropriate structuring of the large knowledge corpus collected from international sources

• Knowledge structuring to be done aiming at its reuse in future CH restoration works as a kind of e-Guidelines for Restoration

– TEL services:• Generation of training content (using knowledge from KM) and its

transference to the learning objects/pills.


15

6. Business Cases (III)

BC3 (Portuguese) - Knowledge resources discovery and teams creation (MSI & KM Services) – Focus on the realisation of the Collaborative

Application Specific Services "CH Object restoration" and "Old Buildings Maintenance”

– Resources discovering using the eConstroi e-marketplace created and managed by partner VORTAL


16

6. Business Cases (IV)

BC4 (Italian/French) - Knowledge resources discovery and On-site provision of the climatology related knowledge to teams (KM & MSI Services)– Focus on the realisation of the Collaborative Application Specific

Service "CH Object restoration". – KM: Existing knowledge on specific aspects related to the

influences of the past and present climate changing will be collected and made available for reuse

– MSI: Online support to mobile workers in a construction site, which is often in remote areas

7. Current Actions

Project Status: M11 out of 36M (30%) Activities:

– Methodology and Ontology Specification based on:• SotA and requirements analysis, Methodology and System Concept

and Business Cases

– Platform specification• MSI Services specification

• KM Services specification

• TEL Services specification


19

8. Next Actions

Activities:– Methodology and Ontology development

• Based on the specification

– Early Prototype implementation for the 4 BCs• Testing and assessment procedures in order to gather users’

feedback for the full prototype implementation

– Demonstrators• Validation of H-KNOW results within the VCN to bring these to the

related Construction Industry community


20

7. Current Actions

– First version of the exploitation plan released on M9• Exploitable Foreground identified:

– ICT tool– Methods of application of technologies for VCN management within CI

• Purpose of Exploitable Foreground:– In further research activities– For developing and creating a new product– For providing a service

• Exploitation ways:– First 12 months after the end of the project: Enhancement of the SW

services based on the application at the end-users and presentation of H-KNOW to other potentially interested ICT providers

– Following stages: Exploitation of H-KNOW methodology and services in other industrial sectors

• In parallel to the joint exploitation activities, each partner will develop own plans for the exploitation of project results
