Collaborative WorkBench for researchers - Work smarter, not harder
نویسندگان
چکیده
As scientists work to understand the complex interactions in the Earth's atmosphere, oceans, biosphere, surface, and interior, they increasingly find themselves working with a more diverse set of data, complex science algorithms, and models. However, each new dataset, algorithm, or model requires its own knowledge base to obtain reliable and useful results. Acquiring this knowledge base can be both difficult and time consuming. One way to address this is to enable social collaboration, with experts coming together (virtually) to pool their knowledge, tools, and datasets. The concept of “virtual” research collaborations in science is not new. Bos et al [1] proposed the concept of a collaboratory as “an organizational entity that spans distance, supports rich and recurring human interaction oriented to a common research area, and fosters contact between researchers who are both known and unknown to each other, and provides access to data sources, artifacts, and tools required to accomplish research tasks.”

متن کاملProcess Improvement Dynamics Under Constrained Resources: Managing the Work Harder versus Work Smarter Balance
This paper considers the problem of managing process improvement when resources are constrained. The paper develops a system dynamics model that formalizes the critical interaction between firstand second-order improvements as options for governing production. Both firstand second-order improvement are effective in boosting short-term organizational performance, whereas only second-order improv...
متن کاملINTERCONNECT: An extensible Workbench for Customizing Cooperative Work Applications
The complexity of developing full fledged groupware systems imposes a heavy demand on the development team and certainly is a task not to be accomplished in a short period of time. Many research projects opt to develop a specific tool, concentrating on a particular task of cooperative work. In this article we introduce INTERCONNECT, an extensible groupware workbench, used as a composition tool ...

Systems delivery is often divided into multiple categories, for example, systems engineering, project management, software engineering, and quality management. These categories interconnect across the systems delivery life cycle, performing distinct tasks and creating distinct life cycle work products. The IBM Rational Workbench for Systems and Software Engineering software is a life cycle mana...
