Teleradiology, which enables distribution and sharing of digital medical images for collaborative diagnosis, has enjoyed rapid success due to the advances in telecommunication and multimedia technologies. However, the interactive collaboration mechanisms that control the editing among multiple users on the same object is often limited to simple ‘locking’ concept, where only one user edits an ob...

In networked collaborative working environment, users are involved with either repeatable or exclusive task. These variety tasks required the collaborative system to support it dynamic and creative solutions especially in sharing the communication media. Most of the related research is objectively focusing on the alignment of user behavior in shared activities. There is not much research conduc...

Current communications tools and libraries for high performance computing are designed for platforms and applications that exhibit relatively stable computational and communication characteristics. In contrast, the demands of (1) mixed environments in which high performance applications interact with multiple end users, visualizations, storage engines, and I/O engines { termed`distributed labor...

Constructing the rational knowledge network is an effective means of cooperative innovation organization. But collaborative innovation organization system is relatively complicated, and knowledge itself is latent and unexpected, knowledge network is not comprehensive and accurate. This paper analyzes deeply knowledge network of organization cooperative innovation, and builds a system dynamics m...

In complex collaborative situations, such as crisis management, actors from different domains and organizations must work together. This is especially evident in network based operations where virtually anyone in an organization should be able to contact someone else. However, collaborative work across organizational borders is not simple and confusion regarding use of terminology is not rare. ...

This project focuses on the development of a language of interaction based on developing an affect space in collaborative sensing environments. The goal is to design a networked semantics of caress, where the interactivity can recognize, understand, and even express non-rational states such as emotion or intention . This suggests the development of qualitative models for data flow and data-arch...
