Collaboration and shared logic for creating value-added in three Finnish wooden multi-storey building projects

Creating Shared Value

DooSo6: Easy Collaboration over Shared Projects

Existing tools for supporting parallel work feature some disadvantages that prevent them to be widely used. Very often they require a complex installation and creation of accounts for all group members. Users need to learn and deal with complex commands for efficiently using these collaborative tools. Some tools require users to abandon their favourite editors and impose them to use a certain c...

Virtual team collaboration: building shared meaning, resolving breakdowns and creating translucence

Managing international teams with geographically distributed participants is a complex task. The risk of communication breakdowns increases due to cultural and organizational differences grounded in the geographical distribution of the participants. Such breakdowns indicate general misunderstandings and a lack of shared meaning between participants. In this paper, we address the complexity of b...

Flanking transmission in three different lightweight wooden building types

Three different Swedish lightweight multistory buildings have been investigated with respect to the flanking transmission over an inner wall. Among the buildings analysed, one of them had been used by residents for three years and the two other were only just erected and being built respectively. A tapping machine and a Japanese ball were used as excitation sources so as to produce vibrations i...

MDD with Added Null-Value and All-Value Edges Applied to Multi-Valued Domino Logic Gates

This paper presents a Multi-valued Decision Diagram (MDD) that has additional null-value and all-value edges. The MDD is based on a multivalued algebra that augments multi-valued variables to allow a null output value. A null output value represents the lack of any valid value for a given input combination (akin to an output don’t care, but its value cannot be changed). A side effect of the nul...
