The Spectro - Microscopy Collaboratory : Design Overview of a Prototype Virtual Laboratory
نویسندگان
چکیده
The Advanced Light Source (ALS) is a unique resource that lends itself especially well to a remote collaborative environment or virtual laboratory. The first of the ultrabright “third generation” synchrotron radiation facilities, it can serve hundreds of users who have a broad range of applications. These users come from all over the world at considerable trouble and expense, so a successful remote collaborative environment would be immediately useful. We would also expect considerable interest from users of the two dozen or so synchrotron radiation sources that are running or being built or planned worldwide.

متن کاملChapter 4 COLLABORATIVE VIRTUAL ENVIRONMENTS FOR SCIENTIFIC COLLABORATION: TECHNICAL AND ORGANIZATIONAL DESIGN FRAMEWORKS
Collaboration among scientists is human behavior that facilitates the sharing of meaning and completion of tasks with respect to a mutually shared scientific goal, and which takes place in social settings. Scientific collaboration across geographic distances began centuries ago, when scientists began utilizing postal and shipping services to exchange ideas as well as samples of plants and anima...
