A Groupware Design Framework for Loosely Coupled Workgroups

Loosely coupled workgroups – where workers are autonomous and weakly interdependent – are common in the real world. They have patterns of work and collaboration that distinguish them from other types of groups, and groupware systems that are designed to support loose coupling must address these differences. However, loosely coupled groups have not been studied in detail in CSCW, and the design ...

A Loosely-Coupled Collaborative Integrated Environmental Modelling Framework

Integration of environmental models requires full support of the modelling community. When a large number of models are integrated, it requires consistency within scale, datasets, and model to model interactions to minimize the uncertainty among the models. The integrated environmental modelling (IEM) framework is a necessary approach to integrate multiple environmental models for a particular ...

Loosely-Coupled Processes

A system of processes in which the interactions are solely through messages is often called loosely-coupled. Such systems are attractive from a programming viewpoint. They are designed by decomposing a specification into its separable concerns, each of which could then be implemented by a process; the operation of the system can be understood by asserting properties of the message sequences tra...

Survivable Loosely Coupled Architectures

We present an approach to provide a fault-tolerant and secure service for sealed-bid auctions. The solution is designed for a loosely coupled publish-subscribe system. It employs multiple auction servers and achieves validity and security properties through application of secret-sharing methods and public-key encryption and signatures. It can tolerate Byzantine failures of one third of the auct...
