Publisher's Synopsis
E-CARGO and Role-Based Collaboration
A model for collaboratively solving complex problems
E-CARGO and Role-Based Collaboration offers a unique guide that explains the nature of collaboration, explores an easy-to-follow process of collaboration, and defines a model to solve complex problems in collaboration and complex systems. Written by a noted expert on the topic, the book initiates the study of an effective collaborative system from a novel perspective. The role-based collaboration (RBC) methodology investigates the most important aspects of a variety of collaborative systems including societal-technical systems. The models and algorithms can also be applied across system engineering, production, and management.
The RBC methodology provides insights into complex systems through the use of its core model E-CARGO. The E-CARGO model provides the fundamental components, principles, relationships, and structures for specifying the state, process, and evolution of complex systems. This important book:
- Contains a set of concepts, models, and algorithms for the analysis, design, implementation, maintenance, and assessment of a complex system
- Presents computational methods that use roles as a primary underlying mechanism to facilitate collaborative activities including role assignment
- Explores the RBC methodology that concentrates on the aspects that can be handled by individuals to establish a well-formed team
- Offers an authoritative book written by a noted expert on the topic
Written for researchers and practitioners dealing with complex problems in collaboration systems and technologies, E-CARGO and Role-Based Collaboration contains a model to solve real world problems with the help of computer-based systems.
