Organizations are increasingly using cross-functional project teams to increase flexibility. The belief is that individuals will be able to share and combine their different knowledge and expertise, i.e., integrate their diverse knowledge, in order to develop more creative solutions. However, project teams of all kinds often fail to meet their objectives. In this paper, we explore the knowledge integration process in student project teams and identify what learning tool interventions might facilitate improved knowledge integration. The results from this initial study suggest that teams do differ significantly in their knowledge integration competence and that this is related most strongly to their use of social capital. Reflective learning tools appeared to be helpful in improving this knowledge integration competency. However, teams were more or less able to take advantage of the intervention. Our research, therefore, identifies that an important area for future research is to explore what team factors influence its ability to use learning tool interventions.

The tools to analyze and visualize information from multiple, heterogeneous sources have often relied on innovations in statistical methods. The results from purely statistical methods, however, overlook relevant semantic features present within natural language and text-based information. Emerging research in ontology languages (e.g. RDF, RDFS, SUO-KIF, and OWL) offers promising avenues for overcoming these limitations by leveraging existing and future libraries of meta-data and semantic mark-up. Using semantic features (e.g. hypernyms, meronyms, synonyms, etc.) encoded in ontology languages, methods such as keyword search and clustering can be augmented to analyze and visualize documents at conceptually richer levels. We present findings from a hierarchical clustering system modified for ontological indexing and run on a topic-centric test collection of documents each with fewer than 200 words. Our findings show that ontologies can impose a complete interpretation or subjective clustering onto a document set that is at least as good as meta-word search.

The online gaming world is growing voraciously and so too is the wider market for computer games which now exceeds the annual global revenues of cinema. Even so, we have only a limited scholarly understanding of how games studios produce games. Games projects require particular attention because their context is unique. We aim to elucidate the games development process from a time perspective and suggest ways of managing it. We argue that a games project is characterised by a compound of temporal rhythms that emanate from the individual, team, company, industry, nation, inter-nation and marketplace levels. Project managers need to take account of these 'inner' and 'outer' temporal rhythms since they can affect development culture and project chronology.

Despite the increasing attention to global IS work, there is limited understanding of why and how global IS development projects succeed or fail. Based on the literature on IS success and global teams, we develop a conceptual framework for global IS development project success. We also conducted interviews with nine global IS project managers to validate this framework through a qualitative attribution analysis to identify common themes and patterns of the interview results. Global project managers identified time separation, cultural differences and geographic distance as the most significant barriers to project success. Organizations implemented various communication mechanisms, task programming, and project control methods to mitigate global risks, leading to project success.

Design documents can be exchanged in business-to-business networks through Product Data Management (PDM) system integration. This rarely used approach provides new possibilities for faster and more controlled document exchange according to networked product development (PD) needs. PDM system integration requires, however, a common understanding of the exchanged document metadata (e.g. name, type, and version of the document). We analyzed internal data models for design documents in six companies to find their common concepts. On the bases of this analysis and requirements from the PD network perspective, we developed a common data model for design document exchange. This model was then used in a prototype system for PDM system integration. We suggest that e-business standards, such as RosettaNet, could benefit from including this kind of a common data model as a part of their message descriptions. With such an extension these standards could be used for PDM system integration in PD context.

The proliferation of mobile communication and computing technologies in supporting highly specialized tasks and services in health care has made it increasingly important to understand the factors essential to technology acceptance by health care professionals. This paper presents a conceptual model to examine what determines medical professionals’ acceptance of mobile healthcare systems. The structural equation modeling technique was used to evaluate the causal model and confirmatory factor analysis was performed to test the reliability and validity of the measurement model. The results indicate that compatibility and computer self-efficacy (CSE) have significant direct effect on behavioral intent, whereas technical support and training have strong indirect impact on behavioral intent through the mediator of CSE. Among these, the compatibility has the most significant contribution to behavioral intent. Yet, the hypothesis for management support effect on behavioral intention to use is not supported.

It is becoming more and more evident that the major hindrance to the proliferation and adoption of the MDA vision in the large is the current lack of tool support. Parallax, based on aspect-oriented support and through a well-defined system of plug-ins, addresses this issue by providing a framework that enables developers to incorporate middleware-specific concerns in their designs, and to view their enhanced designs through a prism of middleware platforms and see how middleware-specific concerns are actually implemented at the code level. Moreover, developers and middleware vendors can contribute and enrich Parallax by implementing and providing the community with new plug-ins for their favorite middleware infrastructures.

Context-aware applications are expected to become a remarkable application area within future mobile computing. As mobile phones form a natural tool for interaction between people, the influence of the current context on collaboration is desirable to take into account to enhance the efficiency and quality of the interaction. This paper presents role of context information in improving the collaboration of mobile communication by supplying relevant information to the cooperating parties, one being a mobile terminal user and the other either another person, group of people, or a mobile service provider.

In this research project, an integration of multi-agent technology and optimization techniques is suggested for the combined production and transport planning problem in a transport chain. The chain consists of a producer, a transport operator, and a number of customers. Optimization decomposition techniques use (dual) prices of resources to coordinate the generation of different plans in the so called sub-problems. We argue that these dual prices and generated plans can enhance the multi-agent based approach. By using the agent technology, we can better resemble the interactions between real planners reallocating resources. A transport chain within the food industry has been selected for validating the developed solution method.

The increasing number of international negotiations involving multiple languages necessitates a growing reliance on multilingual support. Whereas empirical studies on negotiation support systems (NSS) have shown that NSS generally improve negotiation performance, no existing NSS caters for multilingual negotiations. With multilingual support, communication problems brought by the different negotiators' cultures and languages are expected to be addressed. In this study, a negotiation support system with multilingual support was developed and a laboratory experiment was conducted to examine the impact of such support on six important dependent variables. Findings suggested significant effects of NSS support on individual outcome and joint outcome. Multilingual support helped to improve equality of outcome (under qualified conditions) but the time taken was significantly longer.
