  • Conference paper
Innovation through Knowledge Transfer

Abstract

This article describes the research project MAEOS that has been launched six months ago for a three year duration. The goal of this project is the modelling of the support of the evolution of Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs). The developed models will constitute the foundations of a knowledge based system that will permit consultants to improve the effectiveness of their missions thanks to the implementation of theoretical and practical domain knowledge.
