As driving becomes more automated, vehicles are being equipped with more sensors generating even higher data rates. Radars (RAdio Detection and Ranging) are used for object detection, visual cameras as virtual mirrors, and LIDARs (LIght Detection and Ranging) for generating high resolution depth associated range maps, all to enhance the safety and efficiency of driving. Connected vehicles can u...

This paper presents the design and the implementation of Jgroup, an extension of the Java distributed object model based on the group communication paradigm. Aim of Jgroup is to support the development of dependable applications in partitionable distributed systems. Jgroup consists of a partitionable group communication service that simplifies the cooperation among groups of replicated server o...

This experience report outlines the value of measuring the communication processes through electronic monitoring and is a follow up to the paper presented at the EASE 2001 conference last year. The use of email by employees at the Danwood Group was studied and it was found that the interrupt effect from emails was non-trivial. The common reaction to the arrival of an email is to react almost as...

ABSRACT In today's modern world, computer supported cooperative work (CSCW) and computer mediated communication (CMC) are central and most crucial in the activities of organizations and in their success in achieving their goals and purposes. Organizations are established to achieve goals that one person cannot accomplish alone, and the knowledge that is collected by individuals should be reserv...

Email is a key communication tool for collaborative workgroups. In this paper, we investigate how team leadership roles can be inferred from a collection of email messages exchanged among team members. This task can be useful to monitor group leader’s performance, as well as to study other aspects of work group dynamics. Using a large email collection with several workgroups whose leaders were ...

Mobile email is the extension of Internet email on mobile devices. It is a recent phenomenon, and has not been researched broadly yet. This paper provides a contribution to fill this gap and investigates the domestication of mobile email in Swiss companies. The research showed that mobile email is becoming an important tool, in particular for mobile workers. It enables an efficient use of short...

Based on a collaborative approach to learning, a student cohort taking an introductory level University course in computing was provided with information and asynchronous communications technology (including learning resources, e-mail, bulletin board and FAQ), as a means of enhancing their collaborative efforts on a web authoring exercise within a flexible learning environment. The qualitative ...

Past research has reported that females use exclamation points more frequently than do males. Such research often characterizes exclamation points as ‘‘markers of excitability,’’ a term that suggests instability and emotional randomness, yet it has not necessarily examined the contexts in which exclamation points appeared for evidence of ‘‘excitability.’’ The present study uses a 16-category co...

Cohen, J. A. (1995). Computer mediated communication and publication productivity among faculty in Association of Jesuit Colleges and Universities (AJCU) institutions (Doctoral dissertation, State University of New York at Buffalo, 1995). The purpose of this study was to investigate whether faculty who used Computer Mediated Communication (CMC) achieved greater scholarly productivity as measure...
