This paper aims to present an original approach to build up an information model to a Brazilian regulation agency. The methodology was developed based on an integration of five different views focusing at information and its assets. Its main contribution is to combine the Knowledge Management (KM) Method and Software Engineering (SW) Method. 2 The Proposed Project This section describes the reasons over which the decision to design and to develop such project was made, the main benefits, the main phases and the expected results.

This paper aims to present and discuss a methodology for building an integrated model for information and knowledge management, based on the identification of strategic information assets (IA). It begins with the collection of best practices and benchmarks and the analysis of internal documentation, including the organization mission and vision statements, to then identify strategic information assets that give business support. During field visits and structured interviews for collecting information, information assets are analyzed and partial formal models are then produced. Those models are gradually consolidated into an integrated model. The adopted modelling techniques include: definition of business requirements; development of business use cases and an information model; the representation of information flows; and the identification of knowledge, skills and professionals. The ontology model is used to clarify concepts definitions in this domain. The methodology includes current situation analysis (as is), identification of gaps and the proposal of improvements, which are all reflected in the desired situation models (to be). Project innovation lies, mainly, in the use of IAs and the combination of complex elements to build a unique model that integrates information management and knowledge management components in the same framework.

This paper presents the application of an Interactive Method for Modelling and Knowledge Management on Business Environment for an Organizational Unit of Road Infrastructure Operation, from the Brazilian National Ground Transport Agency. As part of an innovative project named MIKM for the Knowledge and Information Manage Model of this agency adopts Knowledge Management fundamental concepts, knowledge and competence, mobilized by professionals on their activities for building information goods. For the method's development and application were needed activities of identification, collection, mapping, representation and analysis of the knowledge and competences needed to the execution of the activities related to knowledge assets of the already mentioned Organizational Unit. Materials and documentation available were analyzed and techniques of meetings and interviews with managers and employees in the steps of identification and collection; for mapping a methodology developed by Rezende (2007) and a knowledge tree concept (Authier and Lévy, 1992) was applied. On knowledge management's analysis and improvement proposals the knowledge conversion modes (Nonaka and Takeuchi, 2009) about knowledge flow, from Road Infrastructure Cycle of Regulation.

This paper presents the main contributions of the Iterative Model for Knowledge Management proposed by Universidade Federal Fluminense (UFF) in cooperation with the Brazilian Agency for Land Transport Regulation (ANTT). The method's great innovation is to combine to the KM diagnosis and prognosis, the concepts of conversion and knowledge flow, with the application of the 5W1H method and Enterprise Architect (EA) software to integrate the models built, also allowing its graphical representation. The models and products obtained have allowed: to understand the culture of the Agency's current KM; view existing gaps and needs in their knowledge flow construction and in the process of converting knowledge; propose a set of KM practices and tools appropriate to their reality and predict future actions of improvement that impact on the efficiency of the regulatory process.

This article introduces an approach per competence to curriculum construction in Computer Science and relevant implications, also demonstrating how important is to be famihar with theoretical -conceptual matrixes that the process involves. It proposes an Iterative Method for Identification and Mapping of Competences based on an analysis of pedagogic projects of Computer Science courses already implemented in Universities, which allows us to generate competence matrixes for Universities and Companies. Such matrixes, when crossed, should provide qualitative and quantitative contribution to Universities in constructing and developing pedagogic projects to Computer Science.
