When a crisis such as 9/11 occurs, it requires coordination and collaboration by a number of government agencies as well as the private sector with tightly choreographed activities from many organizations in multiple locations. Although there are accepted collaboration frameworks for operating in a “command and control” mode, where everyone understands who is in charge and what everyone‟s respo...

In this work, we propose a joint collaboration-compression framework for sequential estimation of random vector parameter in resource constrained wireless sensor network (WSN). Specifically, where the local sensors first collaborate (via collaboration matrix) with each other. Then subset selected to communicate FC linearly compress their observations before transmission. We design near-optimal ...

interactions between physicians and nurses are regarded as an indicator to present the desirable care for the patient. the present study was conducted with aim of clarifying the status of communication and collaboration of nurses and physicians as well as the correlation between these two factors from the nurses' viewpoint. this research was a descriptive - analytical study of the cross-se...

due to their nature, writing classes are often boring for the students and teachers find it so challenging and still the least rewarding. for sometime now studies that focus on the processes a learner enguges in when constructing meaning are best valued among researchers. seen in this light , collaboration is a useful too/for reinforcing student language abilities and a good vehicle for increas...

Scientific collaboration is often perceived as a joint global process that involves researchers worldwide, regardless of their place of work and residence. Globalization of science, in this respect, implies that collaboration among scientists takes place along the lines of common topics and irrespective of the spatial distances between the collaborators. The networks of collaborators, termed ‘e...

We live in an era of global competitiveness with supply chain (SC) focus, and within the dynamics and global nature of today’s economy where competition is no longer between organizations but between supply chains, coordination and collaboration become key to effectiveness, agility and competitiveness (Kim, 2006; Trkman, McCormack, & Ladeira, 2010; Akyuz & Gursoy, 2010; Cao & Zang, 2013; Lehoux...

Although innovation sharing between a buyer and supplier—a common practice in the automotive industry—can increase efficiency total profit of supply chain, suppliers are often reluctant to do so. Sharing innovations would leave supplier vulnerable position if were exploit information (e.g., by resharing supplier’s with competing suppliers). Anecdotal evidence from tells us that nature supplier-...
