Computer Research Project Management

Most research project managers, laboratories directors, young researchers at the beginning stage of thesis or professional research projects leaders are well effective at dealing with planned, scheduled events — they know how to function in conducting their research projects according to traditional knowledge areas of classical processes lied to time, cost, human resources, risk, stakeholders, and quality management. Unfortunately, they may have little specific training in selecting the best thematic of research. Indeed, they have no experience in identifying adequate research problems. Despite their motivation for the selected project and research thematic, they don’t well master research problematic and how to deal with: Literature for the selected thematic of research: (Sources, Documents, reports and technical folders): List of problems encountered during the research theme conducting and how to make profit of the obtained solutions approaches for these kinds of research problems. - How to decide if this research theme and the list of connected problems are already resolved or not by any other research team. This paper aims to develop this idea and finally to propose ontology named "Onto-Research-Project" that formalizes all the domain knowledge of computer research projects. Our final goal is to propose an approach for historical research projects reusing. The output of this approach is a computer research project memory. In this way, we have to make use and to restructure the knowledge obtained from the research computer projects stored in the database “HAL-Archives-Nouvelles”.
