CAGISTrans: A Transactional Framework for Cooperative Work1

The problem addressed in this paper deals with data sharing as a means to cooperate. Our main focus is on transactional mechanisms to manage concurrent accesses to (partially) shared dataand resource bases. Several transaction models have been developed for this purpose. However, they may still be unsatisfactory with respect to support for runtime changes and heterogeneity. The paper outlines o...

Automated Social Network Analysis for Collaborative Work1

Inter-networked computers enable virtual collaborative work. In the course of interacting with one another, individuals send and receive messages and files of various sorts. This may be done within specialized collaborative work environments, or by simply employing a combination of different communication tools and applications. In the course of doing their work, collaborators perform different...

Designing an Irregular Tensegrity as a Monumental Object

A novel and versatile numerical technique to solve a self-stress equilibrium state is adopted herein as a form-finding procedure for an irregular tensegrity structure. The numerical form-finding scheme of a tensegrity structure uses only the connectivity matrix and prototype tension coefficient vector as the initial guess solution. Any information on the symmetrical geometry or other predefined...
