A description of two effective and novel collaborative learning environments that support engineering and technological innovation is provided. While offering great value to systems, and systems of systems, engineering practice, these environments are not adequately described by either of these perspectives. Instead these multiinstitutional semi-structured learning environments are best describ...

One of the challenges of using multiple dialogues from a transdisciplinary-informing network of heterogeneous collective of Informers and Clients is appropriating the channel to cognitively shift agents. The role of Facebook as an Informing Network and how both Informers and Clients transform in the process of use has not been exploited. The convergence of agents’ cognitive shift and transforma...

One of the key problems in informing clients through multimedia streaming applications over the Internet is to customize the stream of information according to the client’s requests. This is achievable only if client and server can interact along the application lifetime, which is possible only if the communication system supports the rigid timing constraints imposed by these interactive applic...

The traditional bench-to-bedside pipeline involves using model systems and patient samples to provide insights into pathways deregulated in cancer. This discovery reveals new biomarkers and therapeutic targets, ultimately stratifying patients and informing cohort-based treatment options. Precision medicine (molecular profiling of individual tumors combined with established clinical-pathological...

As software development becomes increasingly globally distributed, a potential challenge for organizations using agile methodologies is the design of their development teams. Using a case study approach, Cohen’s updated model of the Informing Science framework served as a means for framing the discussion of global agile team design related to the components of task, environmental context, and d...
