携帯端末の普及によりモバイルコンピュ-テイング環境が整い、また-方で会社などのオフイスを中心にグルプウェアが普及している。モバイル環境に適応したグル-プウェアであるモバイルグル-プウェアが登場してき た。しかしながら従来のモバイルグル-プウェアは依然としてモバイル環境や-般的なグル-プウェアにおける 間題点を十分に解決しているとは言い難い。モバイル環境ではユ-ザの都合や不安定な回線のためユ-ザが継続 レて協調作業を行うことが困難である.またグル-プウェアで利用する情報端末には様々な種類が存在するため、 各情報端末間における情報の相互変換が困難である。本稿では、異なった情報端末間における情報の相互変換を 実現、断続的に協調作業に参加するユ-ザの不在期間における作業情報の補完を可能とするモバイルグル-プウェ アを提案する。そして有効性を確認するために提案モバイルグル-プウェアのプロトタイ...

This paper shows AulaNetan environment for creation and maintenance of Web-based courses. This environment is based on three concepts: communication, coordination and cooperation. This paper also presentes some groupware technologies used in the environment and some future trends that will guide its development, focusing the creation of knowledge communities.

Memory-based collaborative filtering is the most popular approach to build recommender systems. Despite its success in many applications, it still suffers from several major limitations, including data sparsity. Sparse data affect the quality of the user similarity measurement and consequently the quality of the recommender system. In this paper, we propose a novel user similarity measure based...

Collaborative e-learning is increasingly appealing as a pedagogical approach that can positively affect student learning. We propose a didactical model that integrates multimedia with collaborative tools and peer assessment to foster collaborative e-learning. In this paper, we explain it and present the results of its application to the "International Seminars on Materials Science" online cours...

Being a distance education institution, our current infrastructure does not allow group or collaborative work on undergraduate level. Although students are allowed to work together and assist each other, each student is required to submit individual attempts for assignments and/or projects. Assignments that are so similar that we could not accept them as individual attempts are considered cheat...

In this paper we discuss background considerations, domain properties, and some design principles for collaborative modeling environments combining the Business Rule Management approach and the Collaborative Modeling approach. The context focused on is that of translating law texts to operational processes and systems for implementing those laws in the public sector. The process of operationali...

Organizations that work in strategic alliances, also known as Collaborative Networked Organizations (CNOs), learn with this experience. The whole learning process in which they are involved with is rich, creates value for the alliance and should be better explored in order to improve the CNO partners’ performance when facing new challenges. The core content of this work is related to the charac...
