Undo/Redo can help rolling the whole system back to some previous state. However, many group Undo/Redo researches are based on co-edit system of text object. This paper firstly addresses the Undo/Redo in 3D collaborative solid modeling system. After analysis of the existing Undo/Redo method, this article proposed a multiuser Undo/Redo method in replicated collaborative modeling system. The implementation...
Advances in textile-friendly electronics devices, smart materials, sophisticated interfaces, and intelligent software have combined to make intelligent garments increasingly practical. This paper introduces Co-eTex, a framework designed to support collaborative development of intelligent garments. It is based on a newly-invented construction platform for eTextiles and Wearable Computing, which was...
Collaborative networks are composed by people from all over and all kind of background that meet to exchange common experience. The great challenge lies in finding significant, reliable information in view of the swelling volume of information output. Recommender systems emerged as a solution to reduce the problem of information overload. Collaborative filtering (CF) technique in particular automates...
This paper discusses the proposal for a systematic approach to computational support specification for Digital Democracy. The basis for this proposal is the definition of a model for Digital Democracy support through communication and information technology comprising three aspects: collaboration, transparency and memory. The paper presents an exploratory study which analyses the proposed model potential...
Innovation is the fundamental source of value creation in organizations. Despite its importance, many companies fail to systematize the innovation process. The innovation process depends on a complex combination of factors related to organizational culture, which are not easily identified. This paper proposes a collaborative approach to identify innovation factors by using the group storytelling approach...
Traditionally, process planning and scheduling were performed sequentially, where scheduling was done after process plans had been generated. Considering the fact that the two functions are usually complementary, it is necessary to integrate them more tightly so that the performance of a manufacturing system can be improved greatly. In this paper, a Multi-agent-based approach has been developed to...
The paper develops and discusses a conceptual model for a mixed reality-based remote collaborative system (MR-Collab) based on motivated learning agents. The proposed MR-Collab system is described in details as well to help better understand this model. Self-development agent based on previous work is an intelligent agent, which not only receives information from sensors in the environment, but also...
We present a model for the certification of trust in multi-agent systems based on encryption. The objective is to raise the level of efficiency that client agents have when contracting specialized service agents. We make three hypotheses: (i) client agents are able to measure and inform the quality of a service they receive from a service agent; (ii) distributed certificate control is possible because...
To overcome the disadvantages of the existing recommender system such as intelligence, adaptive, flexibility ability and the limitations of accuracy and efficiency for the results, the framework model of integration with semantic Web and agent personalized recommendation system in e-commerce (SWAPRS) is designed based on semantic Web and agent and Web mining technology. The function module of SWAPRS...
Engineering asset management (EAM) process is a broad discipline and the EAM functions and processes are characterized by its distributed nature. However, engineering asset nowadays mostly relies on self-maintained experiential rule-bases and periodic maintenance, which is lacking a collaborative engineering approach. To enrich the maintenance efficiency and customer relationship, this research proposes...
In this paper, based on the discussion of some important issues related to cooperative design, and the analysis for niche technology, a group classifier algorithm and a sharing learning algorithm in a multi-agent cooperative system are put forward. The aim is to use socio-cultural perspectives and niche technology for supporting design reuse and share in a cooperative design system.
This paper introduces a new agent-based algorithm for scheduling in CSCWD. Distributed artificial intelligence provides a lot of research areas, including CSCWD, with efficient decentralized optimization and problem solving techniques. In this paper we focus on how DCOP (distributed constraint optimization problem) can be used for scheduling in CSCWD, discussing a new algorithm. Our algorithm is almost-complete,...
CSCW requires efficient support to distributed teams. Groupware is efficient but rather inflexible, multi-agent systems are more flexible but difficult to implement. OMAS (open multi-agent system) is a multi-agent platform derived from a number of previous research projects and teaching courses. With OMAS we tried to answer the problems of architecture, skill definition, protocol implementation, ontologies,...
Most CSCW and groupware systems focus the activities of distributed teams involved in large projects by means of tools for communication and awareness. The activities of small collocated teams are often neglected. Analyzing preliminary requirements of small teams, it is possible to observe the need of tools to help the elaboration of project documentation. This paper presents a multi-agent system...
The new challenges and the increasing complexity of the environment in which organizations are deepened lead on to develop new strategies based on the development of Collective Cognition. These issues require the definition of new organization focused on actors learning, interacting and communicating in small groups of employees. Our aim is to present in this article the modeling of intermediation-based...
In an increasingly sophisticated global business environment there is often a need to be able to bring together professionals from all types of organizations from all over the world. Those professionals operate under severe time constraints and a conventional face-to-face meeting is both impractical and expensive. Virtual meetings have proved to be a convenient alternative, offering a flexible meeting...
This paper presents the development of an intelligent agent used to assist vehicle drivers. The agent has a set of resources to generate its action policy: road and vehicle features and a knowledge base containing conduct rules. The perception of the agent is ensured by a set of sensors, which provide the agent with data such as speed, position and conditions of the brakes. The main agent behaviour...
Computer-aided design organizations worry much about the management of the communication between the various multidisciplinary teams working on the same project. The good management of this communication is very important for the success of the engineering change management process. Each discipline must approve or reject a change request according to its constraints and inform the other disciplines...
With the improvement of enterprises' informationalization level, traditional technical service method already cannot meet the need of modern production mode. To solve many problems existing in traditional technical services model and improve quality and efficiency of technical service, shorten the producing cycle of product, a new mode of the technical service is presented, which is the collaborative...
Airfreight forwarding is becoming more important with the increase of international trade. For an international company, sometimes, it would have several branches associating with different airports in the same region. When a branch is overloaded, nearby branches of different airports can offer help and share the workload. A framework of agents has been proposed to support collaborative cargo packing...
