Teamwork in group model building

Teamwork in Group Model Building1

Ongoing research in the Rockefeller College of Public Affairs and Policy is focusing on strategies for efficient and effective model building in groups. The intent is to involve a relatively large client group in the business of model formulation, not just conceptualization. Recent projects have explored strategies for accelerated group model building in the context of three public policy probl...

Building Agent Teams Using an Explicit Teamwork Model and Learning

Multi-agent collaboration or teamwork and learning are two critical research challenges in a large number of multi-agent applications. These research challenges are highlighted in RoboCup, an international project focused on robotic and synthetic soccer as a common testbed for research in multi-agent systems. This article describes our approach to address these challenges, based on a team of so...

Group Theory for Unified Model Building

The results gathered here on simple Lie algebras have been selected with attention to the needs of unified model builders who study Yang—Mills theories based on simple, local-symmetry groups that contain as a subgroup the SU~’x U!’ x SU~symmetry of the standard theory of electromagnetic, weak, and strong interactions. The major topics include, after a brief review of the standard model and its ...

Community Building and Virtual Teamwork in an Online Learning Environment

In the world of OTIS, an online Internet School for occupational therapists, students from four European countries were encouraged to work collaboratively through problem based learning by interacting with each other in a virtual semi-immersive environment. This paper aims to explore the issues that (1) there was little interaction between students from different tutorial groups and (2) virtual...
