Sharing knowledge across projects is a necessary challenge to ensure the competitive advantage of organizations. With temporary structures, multiple roles, multiple activities, and limited time, the project-based organization needs to retain the knowledge gained in a project and share it with others. “Lessons learned” processes are implemented in order to systematize the transfer of this knowledge,...
A Species List of Flora is a working list of scientific descriptions of all known plants occurring within a given region. It represents an inventory in process, i.e., updates and new plant species are added every working day. The Flora checklist has an important value for the scientific community, government, industry and society, since it gathers accurate data on flora diversity. Knowing the Brazilian...
Crowdsourcing is both a new paradigm of collaboration and a new frontier for CSCWD. Since its introduction in 2006, the notion of Crowdsourcing has been the object of a number of studies. Crowdsourcing has a multidisciplinary nature with a huge diversity of applications that encompasses many practices. The concepts that shape crowdsourcing are still under construction and it is difficult to reach...
Smartphones are increasingly present in our daily lives. Since the launch of the Apple store, more than 500,000 applications were built and some 25 billion downloads were made. We are facing an era where the traditional medical paradigm is leaving the traditional physician-centred model and evolving towards a new de-centralized model where patients are given more responsibility for their health. In...
Citizen Science projects are characterized by mass collaboration of ordinary citizens with scientific research. The advent of new crowdware technologies and the ease of access made possible by the Internet are reshaping the way people and scientific organizations work together. However, the particular nature of this form of collaboration requires a tailored approach that increases the chances of all...
The medical paradigm is leaving the traditional doctor-patient relationship, i.e., the physician-centred model and evolving towards a new de-centralized model where patients are given more responsibility for their health. This article seeks to understand what is changing in this relationship and what role the Web and the interconnected crowds of people play in this state of affairs. Our work discusses...
Citizen science projects generally use the Web platform to promote scientific research and recruit volunteers to assist them. Through a crowdsourcing platform, a large amount of data is submitted and some factors may lead the scientific community to doubt the seriousness of some projects. This may be due to the unreliability of data collected on a voluntary basis and the absence of criteria for quality...
According to some researchers, the wave of crowds we are witnessing in recent years is another example of the challenges for the CSCW community, a line of research that fights against the dilemma of fragmentation. The reflexes of this phenomena in projects of different branches have caused a change of paradigm in how products and services are idealized and how the projects are conducted in a collaborative...
