In developing collaborative learning application, students’ collaboration is one of the most important features that allow them to communicate and share knowledge virtually. order ensure effective student interaction, developers are responsible for identifying social presence requirements by eliciting users’ needs in sustaining interaction. This paper aims highlight elicitation process non-func...

HSAG is a family of genetic elements capable of eliciting, in transfected cells, a cellular surface antigen which is correlated with human chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). Its prototype member, HSAG-1, was cloned as a 3.4 kb insert and contains numerous Alu-related elements, including its left hand 1.4 kb antigen-eliciting end. These elements are present in mammalian cells with copy numbers ...

Confidentiality, the protection of unauthorized disclosure of information, plays an important role in information security of software systems. Security researchers have developed numerous approaches on how to implement confidentiality, typically based on cryptographic algorithms and tight access control. However, less work has been done on defining systematic methods on how to elicit and defin...

The paper addresses the mechanism design problem of eliciting truthful information from a committee of informed experts who collude in their information disclosure strategies. It is shown that under fairly general conditions full information disclosure is possible if and only if the induced outcome is Pareto undominated for the committee members.
