The purpose of this paper is to define the concept of KAD/KAM, furthermore is to establish my own idea on the knowledge related works in engineering domain for a next decade ahead. KAD/KAM is represented as "Knowledge Everywhere" based on the concept of ubiquitous computing in engineering domain. At the beginning of the paper, the definition of KAD/KAM is described. And the related technologies to realize KAD/KAM, such as augmented reality, ontology, data mining, and knowledge management, are introduced. The concept of KAD/KAM is still immature. But this will be a new paradigm to change entire engineering environment in near future.

Ubiquitous computing is a model of computing in which computer functions are integrated into everyday life, providing services and information in anywhere and anytime fashion. Augmented Reality is one of ubiquitous computing technologies to provide new paradigm utilized to interact between human and computer. By adding computer-generated non-visual information to real information and their interaction. user can get the improved and more knowledgeable information about real world. The purpose of this paper is the integration of AR and knowledge-base reasoning technology in ubiquitous computing. Through the introduced concept, it is enable to provide adequate knowledge in the process of ship design and manufacturing easily (Knowledge Everywhere). That is, this is a basic research to construct knowledge-based ubiquitous environment (KAD/KAM) in shipbuilding industry.
