APOSDLE (year 2) |
APOSDLE
Lifelong Learning has become an essential ingredient for success within our knowledge society. The EU project APOSDLE develops a software platform and tools to support you to learn @ work: Learn within the context of your immediate work and within your current work environment. The new Advanced Process-Oriented Self-Directed Learning Environment will provide you with practical guidance, learning content and expert advice when you need it and where you need it.
APOSDLE is a 48 months research and development integrated project partially supported by the European Community under the Information Society Technologies (IST) priority of the 6th framework programme for R&D.

Dyonipos
The goal of the DYONIPOS project is to optimize and ease the modeling of business processes for organizations by utilizing semantic technologies. In the knowledge management department of the Know-Center a key research area of DYONIPOS is to analyze low-level usage data for identifying the actual task of a knowledge worker and support him with resources and task guides. These analysis and identifications of tasks will serve as a base for automatic process deviation and modeling based on the observed task patterns and information.
In the Call for Proposals 2006 of the FIT-IT Key Research Program Semantic Systems the research proposal DYONIPOS submitted by the Know-Center was honored as the best of the 18 submitted proposals. The DYONIPOS project is carried out in cooperation with the IICM of the Graz University of Technology, HP, and m2n in the next 2 years.

TDSP/ I2F Linux
Cooperation partner:TDSP/ I2F
In the past TDSP/I2F and the Know-Center have successfully collaborated in designing learning resources for MOS (Microsoft Office Specialist) and MOSE (Microsoft Office Specialist Expert).
Target of this project is to adapt the results from former projects to the necessities of the Linux operating system. In parallel strategies for TDSP/ I2F are to be developed especially with respect to the future target group for TDSP/ I2F’s offerings. Know-Center’s results from research in the field of “Workplace Learning” shall be considered as well as concepts from the “Trainer Academy”, which has also been developed for TDSP/ I2F under the aegis of the Know-Center in 2004.
TDSP/ I2F Vista IC3
Cooperation partner: TDSP/ I2F
TDSP/I2F and the Know-Center are planning to research into how to adapt existing learning material for Windows XP into material that fits for Windows Vista.
Several constraints need to be considered in order to come to didactical and technical concept for Windows Vista. First of all, it needs to be investigated how the certifications according to IC3 (Internet and Computing Core Certification), MOS (Microsoft Office Specialist) and MOSE (Microsoft Office Specialist Expert) have changed over the last years.
Then it needs to investigated how the operating Windows itself as well as the essential applications (Office and other components) have changed from Windows XP to Vista.
Target of this year’s project is to come to a sound and consistent course program, which is compliant with the IC3 certification. A didactical and technical concept shall be developed and prototypically designed. As always in the long-lasting collaboration between TDSP/I2F and the Know-Center, results from work executed in the last years will be incorporated into the current approaches. This includes (but is not limited to) Know-Center’s research results with respect to “Workplace Learning” and the “Trainer Academy”.
iMarket 2007
Cooperation partner:isn , bravestone
Web 2.0, Social Software, Collective Intelligence and Service oriented Architectures are big trends in the "new" web's development. There are arising many new possibilities for the development, the application and utilization of content and services.
The goal of this project is to apply some of these techniques to the field of Innovation Management and develop an Online Community Platform.
Some results of the preceding years's projects Neurovation and iMarket 2006 such as an Online-Creativitytool and a first prototype of an Innovation-Marketplace will be used.
The platform will be progressively enhanced; Other Methods (Knowledge Services and new Technologies) regarding Community aspects will further be implemented, systematically evaluated, and the community content will be analysed.
Semantic analysis of social software environments with multimedia content (SASU)
Strategic project
The declared goal of SASU was to create (semantic) structures based on the resources available in an online social software environment with multimedia content (for this prototype: Flickr) and to use these structures to automatically tag new multimedia content. The generated structures are a picture-similarity-database, a term network based on WordNet and on statistical distribution of Tags and a social network.

The Concept of a High Performance Workplace (HPW)
Cooperation Partner: Telekom Austria, SUCCON (non-funded project)
The goal of this project was to develop a concept of a portal solution for the business area “Business Solutions” of the Telekom Austria. The solution indented to provide a central access point to the required information in the “Sales Process” (Presales, Sales/Distribution, Fulfillment) for all the employees of the Business Solutions (>550 employees).
Based on an outline of the “High Performance Workplace” (short HPW) the application areas and the spheres of action of the HPW were elaborated via 24 expert interviews. The requirements of the HPW were developed through a scenario based approach in several workshops. In cooperation with the core project team (8 members of the Telekom Austria Business Solutions) the scenarios were ranked and further particularized in a success oriented manner. The vision of the HPW resulted in an integrated portal solution that should cover amongst others the following areas: internal and external communication, document- and project management and workflow support.
The round off the project consisted of the definition of a technical specification that includes the elaborated scenarios and the corresponding functional requirements. A comprehensive set of interactive mock-ups were developed to provide a visual simulation of the capability and functionality the HPW.
