About the DK Group
Can Knowledge be Distributed? The Dynamics of Knowledge in
Interdisciplinary Alliances
The DK project is one of the key DKRC projects and is funded by NSF under its Knowledge and
Distributed Intelligence (KDI) initiative. This project
explores knowledge processes in distributed,
interdisciplinary teams. The teams we are looking at are the
Application Technology
(AT) teams associated with NCSA and the Alliance.
Our research effort focuses on how members of six AT teams
(cosmology, environmental hydrology, molecular biology,
chemical engineering, nanomaterials and scientific
instrumentation) exchange and create knowledge across
disciplinary boundaries, and how technologies support these
processes. This study adds to the understanding of
fundamental knowledge processes in a leading-edge research
and high-performance computing environment.
