The document on the music stand in front of performing musicians has become reterritorialized by dynamic and interactive notation enabled by computational and communications technologies. The implications are far reaching for how we create, how we play, and how we listen to music. Considering the mediated musical score as a collaborative workspace, issues of awareness and structural relationshi...

This paper addresses the problem of remote collaboration in global electrical engineering student projects. Theproblem has several facets. including the arrangement of virtual engineering laboratory workspaces, the computational support for remote conducting of experimental work. communications, work styles, technology integration, utilisation of digital media in engineering projects and learne...

collaboration is a central aspect of research, with variable impact on research output and quality. its assessment is commonly based on citation count, but this is an inadequate measure in biomedical research. the aim of this preliminary study is to determine the impact of collaboration at three levels on the quality of dental therapy research using a valid and reliable instrument. ninety-nine ...

The NIST Identifier Collaboration Service (NICS) is a proposed service to encourage collaboration among researchers and developers when choosing identifiers, far in advance of when it might ordinarily occur. This would support and enhance standards development activities, and development and communications in a variety of fields from software development to system administration. Implementation...

The future mobile and ubiquitous computing world will need new forms of information sharing and collaboration between people. In this paper we present iClouds, an architecture for spontaneous mobile user interaction, collaboration, and transparent data exchange. iClouds relies on wireless ad hoc peer-to-peer communications. We present the iClouds architecture and different communication models,...

We describe collaboration models in Web services, and how to achieve universal access in the heterogeneous devices including conventional desktop PCs and mobile devices. We discuss how a rich synchronous and asynchronous collaboration environment can support virtual communications built on top of Web service infrastructure based on industry standard portal technologies, such as XML, Apache proj...

Inter-enterprise collaboration to deliver a one-of-a-kind product is gaining momentum with the emergence of new information and communications technologies (ICT) to support information exchange and collaborative work amongst distinct geographically dispersed entities. Typically, the modus operandi of such collaborations is that of the virtual enterprise. While relatively new to some industries,...

Pilot application projects will be the major means for stimulating collaboration between users, suppliers and researchers. Building on the successful LRE scheme, these projects will provide a more user-centered context and encourage a coordinated and market-driven approach to RTD tasks, and at the same time demonstrate and validate the integration of language components within information and c...

The lifecycle of academic works from idea to investigation -followed by publication, discovery, access, and usage -is supported by extensive cross-sector collaboration throughout the scholarly communications ecosystem. However, transformational changes occurring worldwide within the knowledge creation and publication landscape have disturbed traditional divisions of labor and established codes ...
