Interdisciplinary research is currently the central scientific approach, assumed to be the answer to large-scale research problems (e.g., health and aging, economics and production in high-wage countries). Although it is quite popular, there is still a lack of knowledge about how to measure, steer, support, and manage interdisciplinary success. This paper presents an approach to analyze, steer, and...
The worldwide revolution of information technology triggers numerous computing in creative ways that changes and improves human life dramatically, e.g., Google search engine, Facebook. Although the term, “Creative Computing” is used and practiced widely, there is still no well accepted and ‘scientific’ definition for Creative Computing. We report our attempt to develop the definition, research scope...
In this paper we discuss the current state of our work regarding the development and planned in-situ testing of a computer-based system to enhance community relations through the Neighbourhood Watch scheme. The system is intended for use in a community to help the residents interact with each other more easily and to encourage the reporting of suspicious behaviour or crime. We discuss some details...
There is a growing concern among universities that students in undergraduate and graduate engineering and business programs will be unprepared or underprepared to work in global workforces. In their 2005 publication, Engineers for 2020, the National Academy of Engineering (NAE) urged university engineering schools nationwide to embed curriculum and assessment measures into academic programs that provide...
Choosing the most appropriate collaborators is becoming increasingly crucial to biomedical research as many research questions evolve into complex and multidisciplinary projects. Despite a growing emphasis on translational and interdisciplinary research, little is known about how biomedical researchers form collaborations. We conducted 27 semistructured interviews with scientists from the University...
REVEL is a professional development program sponsored by the National Science Foundation (NSF) for science teachers who are selected to participate in funded-seagoing research cruises, and to contribute to ongoing scientific research. During the first five years of the program, the research focused on scientific issues ranging from the origin of life to new aspects of biotechnology related to the...
