Knowledge refinement for aircraft design and other processes with long cycle time
研究了航空工业研发与生产支持中收集和精炼知识的技术流程，评估现有技术解决信息处理问题的可行性，并指出所需的发展方向。
Abstract This paper is concerned with possible technical processes for collecting and refining knowledge and expertise within the Research and Development and Production and Support functions in the aircraft industry. It is also concerned with processes for facilitating the use of stored knowledge and expertise in providing for example continuity of good practice. Features of humans as processors of information, which will influence the collection and use of relevant knowledge and experience, are considered. The feasibility of ‘solving’ information processing problems with currently available techniques and hardware and software products is assessed. Indications are given of the kinds of developments that seem to be needed in the context of aircraft design and other activities considered in this paper. Human privacy considerations are identified as a possible problem and are discussed briefly.
