We argue that transactive memory provides a top man-agement team with a system for generating, distributing, and integrating knowledge based on members ’ specific areas

This paper presents an exploratory empirical study of how mutual knowledge develops in VPTs through transactive memory processes and the role of information technology in facilitating this development. Our results show that transactive memory theory is an important theoretical lens for explaining

types of player interaction a source of short-term load variability, which complements the long-term load variability due to the size of the player population. Then, we introduce a combined MMOG processor, network, and memory load model that takes into account both the player interaction type

Many organizations are investing significant time and financial resources in technologies to enable them to collect, share, and store information. However, in addition to these technologies, trust plays an important role in transferring personal knowledge to organizational knowledge. It is likely

the functioning of virtual teams focuses on Transactive Memory Systems (TMSs). Prior studies have indicated that TMS emergence leads to improved team performance. Therefore, the present research explores and analyzes the roles that influential factors play in TMS emergence and maintenance in virtual teams

Abstract Background: More and more software development companies decide to share their workload between teams which are geographically distributed. One of the biggest challenges is to start up work when new team members are introduced at a distant site of a global cooperation. Usually existing

Message-oriented middleware (MOM) is at the core of a vast number of financial services and telco applications, and is gaining increasing traction in other industries, such as manufacturing, transportation, health-care and supply chain management. Novel messaging applications, however, pose some serious performance and scalability challenges. In this paper, we present a methodology for performance evaluation of MOM platforms using the SPECjms2007 standard benchmark. SPECjms2007 is based on a novel application in the supply chain management domain designed to stress MOM infrastructures in a manner representative of real-world applications. In addition to providing a standard workload and metrics for MOM performance, the benchmark provides a flexible performance analysis framework that allows users to tailor the workload to their requirements. The contributions of this paper are: i) we present a detailed workload characterization of SPECjms2007 with the goal to help users understand the internal components of the workload and the way they are scaled, ii) we show how the workload can be customized to exercise and evaluate selected aspects of MOM performance, iii) we present a case study of a leading JMS platform, the BEA WebLogic server, conducting an in-depth performance analysis of the platform under a number of different workload and configuration scenarios. The methodology we propose is the first one that uses a standard benchmark providing both a representative workload as Message-oriented middleware (MOM) is increasingly adopted as an enabling technology for modern event-driven applications
