An approach in modeling collaborative and metacognitive data is presented in this paper. The proposed scheme, namely Collaboration/ Metacognition–Adaptive Network-based Fuzzy Inference System (C/M-ANFIS), uses neurofuzzy structure to adaptively infer on the relation between the above data in a meaningful way. More specifically, the collaborative and metacognitive data refer to the participant’s...

This paper describes a project whose aims were to develop a virtual learning environment for collaborative learning. The pedagogy calls on practitioners and newcomers to a community of practice to engage in practical problem solving and dialogue around their practices. The paper agrees with many writers on the subject of computer mediated collaborative work using conferencing, in that good mode...

We describe a collaborative effort in which the HOL4 theorem prover is being used to formally verify properties of a structure within the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) machine protection system at the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN). This structure, known as Successive Running Sums (SRS), generates the primary input to the decision logic that must initiate a critical action by t...

This paper introduces the MasterFinger developemt and application, a multi-finger haptic interface for virtual object manipulation. This haptic device, with a modular interface, is specially designed to perform collaborative tasks. Each module is in charge of managing the haptic interaction with a finger. The mechanical structure of the module is based on a serial-parallel structure linked to t...

The first phase in new product development process is a specific phase. It is a phase of project definition. It is also a collaborative decision making phase. In this phase the project objectives are to be defined and thus it is very difficult to manage this phase with classic project management tools. In this paper we propose a new project management tool structure. This tool was developed upo...

INTRODUCTION Collaboration was legislated in the delivery of integrated care in the early 2000s in the UK. This research explored how the reality of practice met the rhetoric of collaboration. THEORY The paper is situated against a theoretical framework of structure, agency, identity and empowerment. Collectively and contextually these concepts inform the proposed model of 'collaborative agen...

The engineering design process is a creative process, and the designers must repeatedly apply Undo/Redo operations to modify CAD models to explore new solutions. Undo/Redo has become one of most important functions in interactive graphics and CAD systems. Undo/Redo in a collaborative CAD system is also very helpful for collaborative awareness among a group of cooperative designers to eliminate ...

In this study, we introduce and study a concept of distributed fuzzymodeling. Fuzzy modeling encountered so far is predominantly of a centralizednature by being focused on the use of a single data set. In contrast to this style ofmodeling, the proposed paradigm of distributed and collaborative modeling isconcerned with distributed models which are constructed in a highly collaborativefashion. I...

Computer supported collaborative work (CSCW) technology is used to solve the resource-sharing problems in collaborative design, analysis, and manufacture. To address this need, a system called CollabVue for collaborative product design between designers and manufacturers is proposed in this study. This paper first introduces the framework of tolerance analysis system based on CollabVue, and the...

The recommendation algorithm based on bipartite network is superior to traditional methods on accuracy and diversity, which proves that considering the network topology of recommendation systems could help us to improve recommendation results. However, existing algorithms mainly focus on the overall topology structure and those local characteristics could also play an important role in collabor...
