Supporting Scientific Analysis within Collaborative Problem Solving Environments
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper first lists some features of scientific analysis tools that are important for effective analysis in CPSEs (collaborative problem solving environments). Next, design criteria for achieving these features are presented. Then requirements for a CPSE architecture to support these design criteria are listed. Some proposed architectures for CPSEs are reviewed and their capabilities to support these design criteria are discussed. The most popular architecture for remote application sharing, the ITU (International Telecommunication Union) T.120 architecture, does not support highly interactive, dynamic, high resolution graphics. A popular scientific analysis tool that conforms to the design criteria has been integrated into a collaborative environment and tested for effectiveness. The tests showed that the tool was highly effective for both synchronous and asynchronous collaborative analyses

Supporting Explorative Learning by Providing Collaborative Online Problem Solving (cops) Environments
Research confirms that people learn more effectively by active enquiry rather than passive reception and through experimentation and collaboration. Collaborative problem solving comprises a set of skills that are considered necessary for success in today’s world (O’Neil et al. 2003). Importantly, the development of such skills requires a learning/teaching approach that combines both problem cen...
متن کاملDialogical Perspectives on Narratives in Collaborative Mathematics Problem - Solving Johann SARMIENTO
Our approach to the study of learning of mathematical problem-solving extends the notion of narrative learning environments to include the dynamics of collaborative dialogs and related emergent narratives. This perspective favours the conception of the dialogical aspects of interaction as shared achievements of coparticipants and as central meaning-making procedures, based on our qualitative an...
متن کاملSoftware Engineering and Problem Solving Environments for Scientific Computing: An Introduction
As computational infrastructure becomes more powerful and complex, there is a greater need to provide tools to support the scientific computing community to make better use of such infrastructure. The last decade has also seen an unprecendented focus on making computational resources sharable (parallel machines and clusters, and data repositories) across national boundaries. Significantly, the ...
متن کاملDistributed Medical Modelling, Design Prototyping and Collaborative Visualization*
Our goal is to depart from traditional single user systems and build computer-enhanced multi-user collaborative scientific problem solving environments. These CSCW (Computer Supported Cooperative Work) environments provide support for collaboration in the problem-solving phase, as well as in the review phase. In this brief paper I shall present a client-server environment called SHASTRA that we...
متن کاملRecommender Systems for Problem Solving Environments
Traditionally, recommender systems have been studied in domains that focus on harnessing distributed information resources, collaborative filtering, information aggregation, social schemes for decision making and user interfaces. In this paper, we present recommender systems in a different context -primarily as systems that select (scientific) software appropriate to a user’s needs. This applic...
