Learning Real Team Solutions

This paper presents \Ibots" (Integrating roBOTS), a computer experiment in group learning designed on an arti cial mission. By this experiment, our aim is to understand how to use reinforcement learning to program automatically a team of robots with a shared mission. Moreover, we are interested in learning real team solutions. These are programs whose form strongly depends on the number of robo...

Managing an outpatient parenteral antibiotic therapy team: challenges and solutions

Outpatient parenteral antimicrobial therapy (OPAT) programs should strive to deliver safe, cost effective, and high quality care. One of the keys to developing and sustaining a high quality OPAT program is to understand the common challenges or barriers to OPAT delivery. We review the most common challenges to starting and managing an OPAT program and give practical advice on addressing these i...

Transformational leadership and team innovation: integrating team climate principles.

However, the empirical evidence for the role of transformational leadership in engendering team innovation is scarce and mixed. To address this issue, the authors link transformational leadership theory to principles of M. A. West's (1990) team climate theory and propose an integrated model for the relationship between ...
