Dams, Flows and Views: Cross-Aspect Use of Knowledge in Collaborative Software Development

Abstract

Collaboration between organizations raises significant knowledge management issues, especially in software development of complex projects, in which both product and process are themselves knowledge. While research has examined direct, explicit flows of knowledge within project aspects, or forward between aspects, there is less investigation of the need and support for backward, implicit or emergent flows.
