Mediation Role of Boundary Objects in Articulating Common Information Spaces
In this paper we conceptualize the mediation role of common information artifacts in articulating collaborative work. The artifacts are perceived as boundary objects and are characterized as devices for mediating local and global articulation, interpretive articulation, and organizing coordination. This conception is based on Grounded Theory driven qualitative study of collaboration among heter...
متن کاملVirtual Operations in Common Information Spaces: Boundary Objects and Practices
The paper presents a field study aimed at identifying and analyzing the role of boundary artifacts in cross-organization virtual communities of practice (CoP). Our analysis is informed by a recent case study in vacation package assembly (VPA), which is defined as the distributed collective practice carried out by members of a boundary-spanning virtual alliance inhabiting a ‘common’ information ...
متن کاملIntegrating Fields and Objects in Geographic Information Science
Describing the world in terms of objects comes naturally to us because our language and our technical analytical tools are highly object-oriented. This works well so long as we confine ourselves to describing situations in which there are well-defined, discrete individuals with clear criteria of identity, but in most real-life situations we are faced with a world of graded transitions and const...
متن کاملSupporting shared information systems: boundary objects, communities, and brokering
Organizations increasingly rely upon integrated and shared information systems and databases such as ERP systems and data warehouses. Such shared systems pose new and unique support challenges for systems professionals. A review of the literature reveals that comprehensive models to study the support of shared information systems do not yet exist. Based on the theory of communities of practice,...

We compute a set of balls that approximates a given 3D object, and we derive small additive bounds for the overhead in balls with respect to the minimal solution with the same quality. The algorithm has been implemented and tested using the CGAL library [7].
