We have developed an image editing application, Quiccamera and an idea generation consistent support system, GUNGEN-SPIRAL II. Quiccamera was created for the idea collection part of GUNGEN-SPIRAL II. Quiccamera can upload data briefly. GUNGEN-SPIRAL II is a Web-based system, which can support shared ideas and the circulation of information for an idea generation method, the KJ method. We applied these...
Much work is underway within the broad next generation technologies community on issues associated with the development of services to foster collaboration via the integration of distributed and heterogeneous data systems and technologies. In previous works, we have discussed how these could help coin and prompt future direction of their usage (integration) in various real-world scenarios such as...
Hybrid intelligent systems which take advantage of the Bayesian/Fuzzy collaboration have been explored in the literature in the last years. Such collaboration can play an important role mainly in real intelligent systems applications, where accuracy and comprehensibility are crucial aspects to be considered. This paper further explore the Bayes Fuzzy method proposing a classification method specially...
Integrated governance stresses the integrated operation of government organizations and departments. It is the systematic result of vertical hierarchical axis and horizontal action axis which includes various market subjects. The two dimensions of technology-institution and market-government are the components of the integrated governance of e-government. Based on Computer Supported Cooperative Work...
Today, public e-services provide essential and efficient tools for municipalities to serve their citizens. However, the development can be quite complex, and in order to efficiently develop solutions, municipalities need to collaborate with many actors and stakeholders such as IT-vendors and developers, as well as government agencies. In this paper collaboration with various stakeholders in different...
This paper explores current research around IT-related organizational change in the public sector, and in particular the emergence of "virtual organizations" (VOs) in government. We argue that despite their centrality to broader digital government visions, the tensions and challenges attending VO development remain a theoretical and empirical weak point in digital government scholarship...
Can an ad hoc team be assembled at a moment's notice and perform as though they address (every single day) the exact public disaster before them, regardless the scale and complexity, even if it has never been considered before? Can they create a response that not only demonstrates the capability, competence and capacity to respond, but also the precision, predictability and confidence the public deserves?...
The software development process utilized to implement enterprise systems using a component architecture in a distributed environment is well understood. The service oriented architecture enables the joint development of global and enterprise-wide solutions by several developers following enterprise-wide IT-strategies as coordinated by the customer. However, the necessary level of collaboration between...
Nowadays, small and medium enterprises (SMEs) are forced to compete on a global market and to make strategic decisions in short periods of time. In order to allow SMEs access to information technologies which can support their competition on a global scale, public administrations are fostering the setting up of digital districts. In this paper, we describe a distributed collaborative data mining platform,...
A collaborative framework for developing an e-government emergency system is proposed and built. There are abundant information processing mechanisms in the biological endocrine system (BES) including high level regulating mechanism to neural system, the emotional reacting mechanism, and the hormone reaction mechanism. With these mechanisms, BES has the features of self-learning, self-adaptive and...
The mission of the joint network enabled operations (NEO) program is to promote interagency communication and collaboration through the use of modern network enabled tools, technologies, and operational procedures for the next generation air transportation system (NextGen). The NEO environment features a modern service bus based enterprise architecture. To evaluate the utility of this architecture...
An increasing level of cooperation between public administrations nowadays on national, regional and local level requires methods to develop interoperable e-government systems and leads to the necessity of an efficient modeling of collaborative business processes and their implementation. In this paper a framework to systematically develop interoperable systems in the public sector is described. The...
E-business and e-government implementations are becoming more and more widespread with growing number users depending on availability, accuracy and security of such e-services. The users must be able to trust these services, otherwise they will be reluctant to embrace the new opportunities and will not be able to reap the potential benefits. In addition, the end users wish to use the e-services in...
Cities are being equipped with numerous systems and applications to provide city monitoring and public services for city officers, businesses, and residents. There are emerging problems with data islands and function overlaps. A collaborative portal for digital city is proposed to apply service-oriented architecture into the planning, design, implementation and integration of digital cities, to facilitate...
In this paper we'll explain a really implementation of collaborative framework solution for document exchange management in the domain of e-government. Our study of document process management for public administration allows an efficient approach towards exchange methodology for collaborative work in e-government. Our case studies is founded by Marche region and represent an innovative solution for...
The success of new social networking systems for residents of inner-city neighborhoods depends on the software's ability to animate and support meaningful interaction proximate users, to network serendipitous social encounters, and to seamlessly with the way interaction takes place in existing urban social networks
It is becoming increasingly important to European democratic governments to increase public participation. One of the areas that gives rise to significant public dissatisfaction and feelings of dis-empowerment is that of local planning. "Not in my backyard" or `NIMBYism' is now often quoted as the almost automatic response to local planning proposals. We argue that more effective tools are...
This paper extends research in collaborative virtual environments (CVEs) by exploring their use in a purposeful interactive public application. Though often discussed, few such studies have been undertaken, since the widespread availability of 3D platforms is a recent phenomenon. The application selected is that of urban design and review. The experiments use a virtual cityscape in which planning...
