Synchronous online learning environment is becoming increasingly popular because of its ability to promote emergent interactions through real-time feedback. This study examined the role of co-regulation in synchronous online learning environment to capture the dynamics of social interaction in learning. A study was conducted to examine the relationships between co-regulation strategies and group performance...
Volunteer cloud computing is a paradigm where idle computing resources owned by a certain user are offered in the cloud to be utilised by others in order to reduce operational costs. Engaging people in volunteer cloud computing is an obstacle which requires novel motivational methods, ideally online. Gamification is a method for increasing people motivation and changing their behaviour towards certain...
New information and communication technologies (ICTs) are offering unprecedented opportunities and challenges for innovating in a collaborative way at the academic and research realm. With the purpose of taking advantage of these opportunities, a project called "Parallel Virtual Workshop (PVW)" has been set in a Master's Program to pursue academic internationalization, to provide professional...
A significant number of software development methods have been published over the last 40 years that purport to be properly based on empirical, adaptive and collaborative development. All suggest, some by name, rapid development; bringing systems to production rapidly and at lower cost. The latest manifestation of these methods is Agile Development. This paper pursues the idea that in normal, everyday...
Multiple UAVs collaborative operation which has high-level of autonomy will be an important mode of the future war. Fuzzy Virtual Force is proposed to solve the problems of collision avoidance and simultaneous arrival in collaborative UAVs path planning. Collision is avoided based on extended threats from which the repulsions are utilized to optimize the space of UAVs and to ensure their safety. The...
Based upon the analyzing of the defects existing in the traditional product packaging design solution generation system, this paper propose the new system-PSGS which contains packaging case Agent. The packaging case Agent can self-aware the packaging design requirement of the system, so as to further interact with customer based on the requirement circumstance. It can also self-selecting the most...
In this paper, we study the contracting issues in IT outsourcing projects. Our analysis also applies to other collaborative services, such as consulting, financial planning, and auditing. We consider that the client gets utility from the project throughout the development period since the software can be used as it is being developed by the vendor(s). The service output is contingent on the effort...
Extreme events include both natural and man-made emergencies, disasters, and catastrophes of exceptional and unthinkable magnitude, which would surpass the ca-pacity of local government to effectively respond. Often organizations plan and prepare for 'average' disasters, which, as the Tohoku earthquake and tsunami exemplified, can lead to unseen vulnerabilities and costly dam-ages. For this paper,...
Collaboration is a critical competency for modern organizations as they struggle to compete in an increasingly complex, global environment. A large body of research on collaboration in the workplace focuses both on teams, investigating how groups use teamwork to perform their task work, and on the use of information systems to support team processes ("collaboration engineering"). This research...
This paper describes a global software development project undertaken in an educational setting with students from Senegal, India and the US. Similar initiatives have been carried out for five years at Pace University, but it was the first time that it adopted Agile Methodologies and Scrum for the development of a mobile application. Another novel aspect was that developers were distributed across...
Importance of developing human adaptive robots or systems is increasing these days. To accomplish it, we have to clarify features of human-human communication. In this study, we analyzed human speech while completing computerized collaborate task to clarify how humans speak in collaborative work. We extracted questioning speeches from conversations using CLAN, and classified them into four categories...
The IAF Methods Database has 455 as of 29 August reported techniques used by facilitators divided into 3 levels: Applications, Methods and Models, and Interventions. Methods and Models are the same level of abstraction as ThinkLets. We use the ThinkLet pattern language to define requirements for a redesign of the database. We also discuss the implications for collaboration engineering and examine...
This paper discusses how to design a team teaching program for language teaching and learning for an undergraduate intensive reading course. The purpose of this study is to investigate how team teaching is applied and how it influences faculty and students. Team teaching plan, methodology, and pilot study were discussed in order to suggest the concrete steps to team teaching in this kind of course...
Conducting an international summer program is difficult enough, but combine that with a project-based program that combines undergraduate and graduate technology and business majors from the United States, Europe, and China; working on real project for real companies and providing meaningful results in six short weeks; and you have a uniquely challenging program. The 15 program (immersion into international...
The R&D expenditure in Korea has increased in the past decade. We have also tried to foster the institutions including universities and research institutes in order to strengthen the innovation capability. The present study was undertaken to investigate the centralities of the universities and the research institutes in Korea by analyzing the networks of the domestic/international collaborative...
This short paper describes an innovative project-based learning experience for software engineering education and training. A global software development project is currently underway to unite students from across the globe, with widely different backgrounds and learning objectives, in distinct project roles that are designed to leverage skill sets and foster overall quality and success. The background...
