The Connection Project: Toward supporting virtual collocation
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper describes the Connection Project, an effort at the University of Michigan to support an academic unit divided between two buildings on campus using high-quality, high-bandwidth conferencing technologies. This paper describes the systems used in the project and provides an overview of a number of human-factors related research activities that are being conducted as part of the project.

Virtual trunk simulation
One of the activities of the ACTS project EXPERT is to perform trials demonstrating the use of advanced Resource Management and Routing (RM&R) algorithms in ATM networks. The RM&R model chosen for those trials is based on the Virtual Trunk (VT) concept. In ATM networks, a VT is a virtual path connection setup by the network for reducing connection awareness at the transit nodes. A virtual trunk...
متن کاملThe Effect of Training in Virtual Environment on Nursing Students Attitudes toward Virtual Learning and its Relationship with Learning Style
Introduction: It is impossible to be successful in virtual training unless we consider individuals’ viewpoints toward it. Despite this fact, less attention has been paid to students’ attitudes at the end of a virtual course in the published studies. This study investigates the effect of a virtual training course on the students` attitudes toward virtual education and its relationship with learn...
متن کاملPerformance Characteristics of Fast Elliptic Solvers on Parallel Platforms
We present performance analyses of a fast three-dimensional elliptic orthogonal spline collocation (OSC) method on the Connection Machine CM-5, and various network clusters using the Parallel Virtual Machine (PVM) software package. While the OSC method is an eecient approach for solving Poisson, Helmholtz, and other separable PDE problems, it poses serious challenges for parallel architec-tures...
متن کاملSupporting virtual collocation with a combination of basic awareness services
This paper aregues for long–term awareness in cooperation support systems as a means for simulating physical proximity in virtually collocated groups. It then introduces a modular approach to awareness support. This approach makes it possible to configure the amount and the type of awareness to fit different cooperative settings. An example implementation is described in order to demonstrate th...
متن کاملAn Approximate Solution of Functionally Graded Timoshenko Beam Using B-Spline Collocation Method
Collocation methods are popular in providing numerical approximations to complicated governing equations owing to their simplicity in implementation. However, point collocation methods have limitations regarding accuracy and have been modified upon with the application of B-spline approximations. The present study reports the stress and deformation behavior of shear deformable functionally grad...
