The Elettra Virtual Collaboratory: a CSCW System for Scientific Experiments with Ultra-Bright Light Sources
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper reports the first results of an on-going project aimed at developing a Web-based CSCW system to support scientific collaboration in experiments with ultra-bright light sources (from UV to X-rays), called the Elettra Virtual Collaboratory, and currently being extensively tested in three real-world experimental stations at the Elettra Synchrotron facility.

متن کاملWhite light emission from polystyrene under pulsed ultra violet laser irradiation
This paper reports for the first time the luminescent property of polystyrene (PS), produced by pulsed ultra violet laser irradiation. We have discovered that, in air, ultra-violet (UV) irradiated PS nanospheres emit bright white light with the dominant peak at 510 nm, while in vacuum they emit in the near-blue region. From the comparison of PS nanospheres irradiated in vacuum and air, we sugge...

Collaboration among scientists is human behavior that facilitates the sharing of meaning and completion of tasks with respect to a mutually shared scientific goal, and which takes place in social settings. Scientific collaboration across geographic distances began centuries ago, when scientists began utilizing postal and shipping services to exchange ideas as well as samples of plants and anima...
متن کاملDesigning to support situation awareness across distances: an example from a scientific collaboratory
When collaborating, individuals rely on situation awareness (the gathering, incorporation and utilization of environmental information) to help them combine their unique knowledge and skills and achieve their goals. When collaborating across distances, situation awareness is mediated by technology. There are few guidelines to help system analysts design systems or applications that support the ...
