Collaborative Networked Communication: MUDs as Systems Tools
نویسنده
چکیده
A systems administration group is only as effective as its internal communication mechanisms. On-line communication has traditionally been managed via electronic mail or news, which are neither real-time nor truly collaborative. Communication tools which let multiple parties work together in real-time have become widespread on the Internet in the last several years. In an effort to keep a physically disjoint systems staff working together effectively, we have explored the use of MUDs as communications tools. By allowing many people to interact in an extensible environment, MUDs have solved many of the problems that we had with on-line communication, and provided many unexpected benefits as well.

Modelling and Compensation of uncertain time-delays in networked control systems with plant uncertainty using an Improved RMPC Method
Control systems with digital communication between sensors, controllers and actuators are called as Networked Control Systems (NCSs). In general, NCSs encounter with some problems such as packet dropouts and network induced delays. When plant uncertainty is added to the aforementioned problems, the design of the robust controller that is able to guarantee the stability, becomes more complex. In...

متن کاملNeural-Smith Predictor Method for Improvement of Networked Control Systems
Networked control systems (NCSs) are distributed control systems in which the nodes, including controllers, sensors, actuators, and plants are connected by a digital communication network such as the Internet. One of the most critical challenges in networked control systems is the stochastic time delay of arriving data packets in the communication network among the nodes. Using the Smith predic...
متن کاملNetworked Academic Societies in Collaborative Development of e-Learning Courses
In this paper, we describe a framework for supporting Networked Academic Societies towards the collaborative development of e-Learning courses. Academics with common interests in teaching could combine their knowledge into the development of integrated e-Learning courses. This is a hard task, since the communication overhead is rather big to be ignored by busy academics, unless there are specif...
متن کاملFADYRCOS, a semantic interoperability framework for collaborative model-based dynamic reconfiguration of networked services
The increasing interdependence of economies across the world has stimulated the collaborative development of complex products implying wide ranges of groups. In this context, the collaborative development of products provides new challenges in distributed systems. It requires continuous communication and exchanges between teams of collaborators having different roles and using different tools. ...
