DESCRIPTION:Dr. Alok Choudhary is a Lecturer in Operations and Supply Chai
 n Management at the Management School of the University of Sheffield. He i
 s also acting as a key member for the Logistics and Supply Chain Research 
 Centre and leading a MSC Programme on Masters in Logistics and Supply Chai
 n Management.  In recent years\, he has contributed to several research p
 rojects funded by European Commission (FP7)\, EPSRC\, IMCRC and industries
  including Rolls-Royce\, AstraZeneca\, Defence Technology Centre (UK) and 
 TATA Motors Ltd (INDIA) on topics related to Green Logistics and Supply Ch
 ain\, knowledge management (particularly knowledge discovery). He has cons
 ulting experience with McKinsey & Company.\nKnowledge sharing is a major c
 hallenge for collaborative networks and is essential to improve the produc
 tivity and quality of decisions taken by both collaborative networks and t
 heir member organisations. A critical aspect of effective knowledge sharin
 g within virtual organizations (VOs) is the identification of the most app
 ropriate knowledge for reuse or exploitation in a particular context\, as 
 this requires efficient tools and mechanisms for its identification\, shar
 ing or transfer. Additionally\, partners need to be aware of when knowledg
 e needs to be shared\, the implications of doing so and when their decisio
 ns are likely to affect other partners within the collaboration. Therefore
 \, tools and methods are needed for identification\, acquisition\, mainten
 ance and evolution of knowledge and to support effective knowledge sharing
  which includes awareness of possible consequences of actions and increase
 d awareness of other partner’s needs during the collaboration. This semi
 nar discusses the evolution of Moderator Services from first application i
 n the MOSES research project to its current application in SYNERGY researc
 h project as collaboration moderator services (CMS) funded by European com
 mission. A moderator is a specialist software system that supports collabo
 rative working by raising awareness of the priorities and requirements of 
 other contributors. We proposed Knowledge discOvery And daTa mining inteGr
 ated (KOATING) framework for Moderators to enable them to continuously lea
 rn from the operational databases of the company and semi-automatically up
 date their knowledge about team members. This seminar will further discuss
  how KOATING framework can:\n• Be used to support knowledge based collab
 oration by extracting useful knowledge from the past project reports using
  a case study from construction industry.\n• Raise awareness of business
  opportunity and possible collaborative between the members of the collabo
 rative network using techniques from text mining using a case study.
