KBE and Knowledge Management
KBE is related to knowledge management which has many levels itself. Some approaches to knowledge are reductionistic, as well they ought to be given the pragmatic focus of knowledge modeling. However, due to KBE dealing with aggregates that can be quite complicated both in structure and in behavior, some holistic notions (note link to Complex systems) might be apropos.
Also, given all the layers of KBE and given the fact that one part of an associated space is heavily mathematical (namely, manifold in nature), KBE is extremely interesting from the knowledge viewpoint (or one would hope).
All one has to do is note that the KBE process's goal is to produce results in the 'real world' via artifacts and to do so using techniques that are highly computational. That, in essence, is the epitome of applied science/engineering, and it could never be non-interesting.
