Many collaborative and communicative environments use notions of “space ” and spatial organisation to facilitate and structure interaction. We argue that a focus on spatial models is misplaced. Drawing on understandings from architecture and urban design, as well as from our own research findings

The Robot World Cup Initiative (RoboCup) is an attempt to foster AI and intelligent robotics research by providing a standard problem where wide range of technologies can be integrated and examined. In order for a robot team to actually perform a soccer game, various technologies must

and development activities collected by other investigators. These descriptions provide the foundation for a discussion of the actual and potential role of communications technology in professional work, especially for collaborations carried out at a distance.

Wikipedia is the world’s largest collaboratively edited source of encyclopaedic knowledge. But its contents are barely machineinterpretable. Structural knowledge, e. g. about how concepts are interrelated, can neither be formally stated nor automatically processed. Also the wealth of numerical data

Abstract-In this work we approached a project in that through the University, more specifically the Schools of Engineering, it cannot in agreement with modern teaching techniques to the distance and up-to-date communication means to take solutions, improvements and challenges to the companies of the most several branches. Therefore, settling down a partnership of high level, innovative, objectifies and low price dealing with Engineering. Through this process the University has conditions of offering what the company wants, needs, or intends in a fast, direct way and of low cost.

Paint, a multiuser paint editor). Initial observations and findings gained through the experimental use of the prototype, including the feature of “gaze awareness,” are discussed. Further experiments are conducted with ClearBoard-O (a simple mockup), ClearBoard-1, and an actual desktop as a control

of labelers to collaborate around the world at very low cost. However, using these services brings interesting theoretical and practical challenges: (1) The labelers may have wide ranging levels of expertise which are unknown a priori, and in some cases may be adversarial; (2) images may vary in their level

definitions. We then describe how we used the Enterprise Ontology and give an evaluation which compares the actual uses with original purposes. We conclude by summarising what we have learned. The Enterprise Ontology was developed within the Enterprise Project, a collaborative e#ort to provide a framework

Environmental factors affecting shared spaces are typically designed to appeal to the broadest audiences they are expected to serve, ignoring the preferences of the people actually inhabiting the environment at any given time. Examples of such factors include the lighting, temperature, décor
