Procedural Challenges in International Collaborative Research

Collaborative visualization: Definition, challenges, and research agenda

The conflux of two growing areas of technology— collaboration and visualization—into a new research direction, collaborative visualization, provides new research challenges. Technology now allows us to easily connect and collaborate with one another—in settings as diverse as over networked computers, across mobile devices, or using shared displays such as interactive walls and tabletop surfaces...

Foreword II: Some Challenges of Collaborative Research

indicates some fundamental changes in the social production of knowledge (Gibbons et al., 1994; Nowotny, Scott, & Gibbons, 2001; Pettigrew, 1997, 2001; Ziman, 1994). The changes include who is involved in the production of knowledge, the process of knowledge production and types of available knowledge, new levels of international collaboration in research, and new settings and opportunities for...

Methodological Challenges for Collaborative Learning Research

Collaborative microdrones: applications and research challenges

Microdrones are small-scale unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) carrying payloads such as cameras and sensors. Such microdrones enable us to obtain a bird’s eye view of the environment which is helpful in many applications such as environmental monitoring, surveillance or disaster management. This position paper reports on our recently launched project “collaborative microdrones” where we are devel...

Asia Cohort Consortium: Challenges for Collaborative Research

In this era of chronic diseases, large studies are essential in investigating genes, environment, and gene-environment interactions as disease causes, particularly when associations are important but not strong. Moreover, to allow expansion and generalization of the results, studies should be conducted in populations outside Western countries. Here, we briefly describe the Asia Cohort Consortiu...
