Cooperative vehicle-highway systems offer the potential to enhance the effectiveness of active vehicle safety systems which have entered the marketplace for light vehicles and heavy commercial vehicles. Cooperative intelligent vehicle-highway systems (CIVHS) offer an improved level of overall functionality. These systems are cooperative in that the vehicles can receive information from the road...

This paper presents a methodological framework for the design of intercompany cooperation systems in the field of an extended enterprise. This framework relies on cooperation engineering enabling capitalization of knowledge in cooperative activities.

CSCW systems have generally failed to meet the requirements of users in actual cooperative work settings, primarily due to constraints imposed by current platform architectures that do not adequately support the fluent transitions between formal and informal interaction or the inextricable interweaving of individual and cooperative work that characterizes everyday work practice. Based on a soci...

Previous research indicates that males prefer competition over cooperation, and it is sometimes suggested that females show the opposite behavioral preference. In the present article, we investigate the emotions behind the preferences: Do males exhibit more positive emotions during competitive than cooperative activities, and do females show the opposite pattern? We conducted two experiments wh...

The evolution and expression of different forms of cooperative behaviour (e.g. feeding, guarding, sentinel duties, etc.) are usually studied independently, with few studies considering them as a single syndrome. However, studies investigating individuals' investment across a suite of different behaviours reveal that they are correlated, suggesting a single mechanism determining the evolution an...

Web-based engineering design activities require fault tolerance and concurrent access to shared resources such as databases and Web servers. Such activities are generally dynamic, cooperative, long-lived, interactive, and non-prescriptive. We propose a new multi-agent transaction model, which is based on extended transactions and multi-agent technologies. The novelty of this model is that it au...
