Harnessing the Power of Peers

چکیده
Over the past year, several hundred Army officers have discussed tactical and military management scenarios using an electronic collaborative learning environment. The scenarios were either “Think Like a Commander” scenarios developed at Ft. Leavenworth or “Tacit Knowledge of Military Leadership” scenarios developed jointly by the Army Research Institute and Yale University. A standard threaded discussion platform was modified to allow participants to automatically find semantically similar notes and relevant reference material in an online library using Latent Semantic Analysis, a machine learning algorithm for text understanding.

While it is important to support the development of methods for public participation, we argue that this should not be at the expense of a broader consideration of the role of public participation. We suggest that a rights based approach provides a framework for developing more meaningful approaches that move beyond public participation as synonymous with consultation to value the contribution ...

The positive effects of renewable energies have forced many countries to draw attention to clean environmentally friendly energy sources such as wind. However, the first step for harnessing the wind energy is to locate regions with good potential for turbine installation. The use of wind energy to provide steady and reliable supply of electricity is on the increase. In this work, Weibull probab...
متن کاملCQ-Buddy: Harnessing Peers For Distributed Continuous Query Processing
In this paper, we present the design and evaluation of CQ-Buddy, a peer-to-peer (p2p) continuous query (CQ) processing system that is distributed, and highly-scalable. CQBuddy exploits the differences in capabilities (processing and memory) of peers and load-balances the tasks across powerful and weak peers. Our main contributions are as follows: First, CQ-Buddy introduces the notion of pervasi...
متن کاملHarnessing the Potential to Quantify Public Preferences for Healthcare Priorities through Citizens’ Juries
Despite progress towards greater public engagement, questions about the optimal approach to access public preferences remain unanswered. We review two increasingly popular methods for engaging the public in healthcare priority-setting and determining their preferences; the Citizens’ Jury (CJ) and Discrete Choice Experiment (DCE). We discuss the theoretical framework from which each method is de...
