....to the synergy of the organization [20] This is also referred to as organizational learning . Organizational learning is defined as a skilled process in which knowledge is created, acquired, and transferred, and through which behavior is modified based on the new knowledge and insights [16]. It is important to note that organizations cannot learn: the individual people can learn and learn together [36] This definition reflects that learning happens when new insights arise. Such new insights alone are, however, insufficient. Without accompanying changes in the work processes, only ....

....cannot learn: the individual people can learn and learn together [36] This definition reflects that learning happens when new insights arise. Such new insights alone are, however, insufficient. Without accompanying changes in the work processes, only a potential for improvement exists [16]. Similarly, George Huber states that learning takes place when the potential behaviors are changed [17] Behavior does not need to be changed for every situation, however, the potential ways in which one can work need to be expanded. So effective learning results in potentially) changed ....

And by object , we mean not only cars, movies and telephones, but software systems, architectural blueprints and ....

Putting in place a process of constant learning is of strategic importance to Origin. Anyone, including Origin s competitors, can learn a new method.

....output. When developing new solutions, we will gain more experience, come up with new guidelines, and obtain more patterns and (partial) reference solutions. By learning from its experiences in the development of solution, the development organisation itself may become a learning organisation [22, 25 27]. The context architecture itself may also change as a result of the ongoing development process. While developing a solution, the enabling effects of parts of the solution may trigger the context in making further changes. It may eventually also lead to a change of the original problem ....

....Europe, to develop a standard like TT meta model (see the ESI web page) Our work reflects our having taken the following positions. Software is an experimental science. It evolves by cyclical quality improvement processes (QIP (Basili, 1993) and improvement iterations are learning cycles too (Garvin, 1993). In order to have learning capitalized for reuse, software companies can install an Experience Factory (EF) Basili, 1989; Basili, Caldiera and Rombach, 1994a) This is a conceptual architecture that is adequate to enact QIP processes. It needs to be specialized to the particular organization ....

....activities with the other organizational tasks, a possible integration of the suggested MMLC within an Experience Factory based software organization is proposed. The Experience Factory [20,21] is a learning from experience focused organization, and a model for adding learning organization [23] to software factories. The Experience Factory aims at continuously improving software processes, products, and technologies by analyzing, synthesizing and packaging, in a reusable form, any kind of data, lessons learned, and experience. Acting as repository of the gained knowledge (organization ....

....These can be dedicated agents or multi role agents, depending on the specific organization. The knowledge roles are performed inside an organizational framework too. The experience factory [11] EF, is a learning from experience focused organization and, a model for adding learning organization [13] to software factories. The EF model can be specialized in many ways, e.g. domain factories, component factories [14] etc. MMs play a fundamental role in the EF organization; in fact, MMLC activities are intrinsic of the EF model and its specializations. Figure 4 shows how MMLC activities may be ....

As Garvin states, learning organizations are skilled at . learning from their own experience and past history . and transferring the knowledge quickly and efficiently throughout the organization (Garvin, 1993). Such collaboration and learning support, although a key goal of Digital Libraries (Fox and Marchionini, 1998) is often missing in the web environment due to historical limitations with the HTTP protocol. To give an advance look at what lies ahead, the Annotate system enhances traditional web ....
