This article presents a personal review by the author of Collaborative Planning: Shaping Places in Fragmented Societies, published in 1997. It explains how the book came to be written and makes some comments on the various criticisms it has attracted. The first section introduces key experiences that fed into the book followed by a brief summary of the key ideas that underpin its arguments. In ...

This paper describes the design of computer agents that can collaborate with humans in planning. It includes an explicit problem solving level that mediates between the human-computer interaction and the underlying automated plan reasoners. We also describe a plan reasoning system that allows for incremental, interactive development of plans to support collaborative planning. This model has bee...

This study investigated flow experience during group collaborations of creative dance improvisation, where was defined as periods when most members a reported experience. Sixteen dancers took part in the experimental sessions, performing improvisational tasks groups four. We chose two different types task, hypothesising that dancers’ external focus upon group’s shared surroundings and awareness...

introduction: collaborative testing is a learning strategy that provides students with the opportunity to learn and practice collaboration. this study aimed to determine the effect of collaborative testing on test performance and retention of course content in nursing students of shiraz university of medical sciences, shiraz, iran. methods: this quasi-experimental study was carried out on 84 st...

It is often difficult for individual tourists to make a sightseeing tour plan because they do not have prior knowledge about the destination. Although several systems have been developed for assisting the user’s tour planning, these systems lack interactivity, while demanding a lot of data input from the user. In this paper, we introduce a new computer-aided tour planning system, called CT-Plan...

This paper describes the second step of a collaborative work aimed at showing how a system composed of a collection of situated agents can solve several non-trivial planning and optimisation problems. This work deals with the problem of facing dynamically changing environments, and with how to identify individual agents (to optimize imitation performance), which should enable us, in a future th...

Traditional planning has been explored in depth. Most research is concentrated at a high level, e.g., developing coordination interaction protocols to be imposed on agents. There has been less concern about how the internal task structures of individual agents affect these higher-level coordination behaviors. When involving multiple participants, collaborative planning has been facing problems ...

SUMMARY The planning of road, railway, and subway tracks in urban environments is a manifold task because of complex legal, environmental, economic, and structural problems. However, skills and knowledge of the participants differ substantially and computer support for complex planning still is at its beginning. Especially computer-aided collaborative planning for 3D city and building models is...

In a collaborative planning environment in which the agents are autonomous and heterogeneous, it is inevitable that discrepancies in the agents' beliefs result in con#icts during the planning process. In such cases, it is important that the agents engage in collaborative negotiation to resolve the detected con#icts in order to determine what should constitute their shared plan of actions and sh...
