Understanding Team Learning Dynamics Over Time

Bridging Space over Time: Global Virtual Team Dynamics and Effectiveness

Global virtual teams are internationally distributed groups of people with an organizational mandate to make or implement decisions with international components and implications. They are typically assigned tasks that are strategically important and highly complex. They rarely meet in person, conducting almost all of their interaction and decision making using communications technology. Althou...

Once upon a time: Understanding team dynamics as relational event networks

For as long as groups and teams have been the subject of scientific inquiry, researchers have been interested in understanding the relationships that form within them, and the pace at which these relationships develop and change.

Understanding Usages by Modeling Diversity over Time

Let’s imagine a system that can recommend the kind of music (among other application domains) you like to listen when you are at work, without having to know your location, IP address or even to ask your current mood. In this paper, we bring this dream closer by proposing a model that can automatically understand the user’s current context. This model, called DANCE, analyzes the attributes of t...
