“…An application example in the context of digital factories is the SmartBricks prototype [Flores, Sommaruga, 2009], developed within the DiFac project, whose purpose is to develop intelligent tools for Business Processes Management (BPM) to be used by a multinational company. The system design was based on the analysis of the company needs, which leads to the adaptation of the generic tools to the enterprise specific requirements.…”

Modem companies and enterprises, to be competitive, need to be able to capture, integrate, connect, manage and share heterogeneous information and knowledge, about the different actors and elements involved in their systems: processes, activities, procedures, people, documents, etc. Knowledge comes from different sources, in different formats, and sometimes is implicit and not written; in addition, it dynamically evolves, it often requires the contribution of a collaborative team. This paper describes how intelligent web tools can provide new opportunities for knowledge representation, formalization, management and sharing. It firstly introduces the concept of "intelligent web" as a synergic combination of Web 2.0 and Semantic Web technologies. The second part of the paper presents the A WI environment to demonstrate the practical applicability of the intelligent web approach for knowledge management, in particular in the field of manufacturing and business process management.

Abstract.Recently there has been an explosion of new technologies and tools such as wikis, blogs, tags, Facebook, among many others, that are commonly identified under Web 2.0 and which promise a new digital business ecosystem fed by formal/informal and internal/external relationships and interactions. Although Web 2.0 is very promising to enable such collective knowledge creation, technology by itself is not the only ingredient. It is also required to define the right strategy, governance, culture, processes, training, incentives among others, before implementing such innovative open spaces for collaboration and knowledge sharing. Therefore, the objective of this paper is to present a Knowledge Management (KM) Framework and a Maturity Model developed by a CEMEX and EPFL collaborative research project to discover the AS-IS collaboration practices in CEMEX before the implementation of the SMARTBRICKS Web 2.0 prototype for Business Process Management (BPM), currently under development by the Intelligent Manufacturing Systems (IMS) Swiss Digital Factory (DiFac) project.
