An agent-based Collaboratory
نویسندگان
چکیده
Collaboration for distributed groups can be supported by intelligent agents in charge of several functionalities, partly addressed by Computer Supported Co-operative Work (CSCW) and Knowledge Management Systems. Collaboratories are special type of systems covering the needs of research communities. We describe here an agent-based architecture and a real collaboratory implementation that is a natural evolution of a set of recommender systems. Each agent acts as an assistant agent, coordinated with the rest of agents in the system.

An Ontology for User Support in The Materials Microcharacterization Collaboratory
We describe the experience of building an ontology for use in an agent-based system in support of the Materials Microcharacterization Collaboratory (MMC). The ontology expresses facts related to users of scientific instrumentation such as electronic microscopes and a neutron-beam line. The users, experts and types of experiments are also described. The Zeus Agent Toolkit ontology editor was used.

This paper presents the design, implementation, and deployment of the DISCOVER web-based computational collaboratory. Its primary goal is to bring large distributed simulations to the scientists’/engineers’ desktop by providing collaborative web-based portals for monitoring, interaction and control. DISCOVER supports a 3-tier architecture composed of detachable thin-clients at the front-end, a ...
متن کاملA system design framework-driven implementation of a learning collaboratory
This paper describes a design process to support the development of a learning collaboratory, a distributed, computer-based, virtual space for learning and work. A learning collaboratory: as a distributed distance learning environment, offers tremendous opportunities to expand the way people teach and learn and to broaden educational opportunities to an ever increasing range of learners. The ch...
