Computer-Supported Cooperative Work - Science topic

There's an open collection of Service Design Tools which captures many workshop methods for participatory design: here: https://servicedesigntools.org/

As the name suggests it has a focus on Design for Services and the approaches put high-value on the views of end-users (as workshop participants).

Hopefully helpful :-)

In my experience, my colleagues and I use our laptops extensively when discussing technical matters.  What is interesting is that when handwritten documentation is required, it is more often written on whiteboard walls or glass walls and then photographed using cellphone cameras.  Little to no paper is used.  To directly answer your question, computational resources are the tool of choice when discussing technical problems - specifically laptops, as well as e-mail and mobile phone cameras.

I would be VERY cautious about placing research data and paper drafts in online space I do not control.

The Club of Rome essentially did what you are asking for in its 1972 publication, "The Limits to Growth", by modelling a number of different scenarios. The results only of these scenarios were shown in a series of graphs, but not the underlying structure of the models. However, the structure of these models and subsequent models can be viewed and run using dynamic simulation software. One free software package is Vensim PLE. When using Vensim PLE (and other similar software) a conceptual model is first developed graphically using symbols for stocks, flows, and linkages. The direction of influence (positive and negative feedbacks) are then added. Quantification of influence is established by using equations and the model is then validated by comparing simulations against historical data and making necessary adjustments to the model. The validated model can then be used to create different scenarios by using slide controls to change the values of various parameters in the model. I recommend John Sterman's book "Business Dynamics: Systems Thinking and Modeling for a Complex World".

Horizontal and vertical can also describe how a business is structured internally, and how communication flows.

In Horizontal organization, offices at equal levels on the organizational chart can talk to each other and the communication is "flattened."

Vertical organization is hierarchical and communication must go up the organizational hierarchy and down by another path to reach another office at the same level of the organizational chart.

 Dear Hani,

Im positive/absolute confidente that this will never disappear. Why? Because the "social interaction" among people is a basic need. So, IT is just providing new ways of interaction - digital ones, mobile ones. Like I simple don't believe that People will ever stop their intrinsic need of communicate, we can see in the future renewing of the approach of the development of new solution for social networking, but this is an Era that have come to stay.

Best wishes for your research, hope have not been too much philosophical

It depends on the objective , type of respondents and time lines .

If the objective is to assess  demand for FMCG products in a  specific geography , it is the best to do primary consumer surveys physically, telephonically or thru internet . On the other hand , it is for industrial products, secondary survey can be done by studying / analysing reports already available on  similar products or demand drivers for such products.  

Dear Dr. Das, nice question. But I am afraid, all efforts need not have ROI, especially for extendong citizen centric egovernance services. In my view, business values would determine squarely the metrics to be used for ROI. In thus case, like net neutrality, one had to be careful, whether we need such measurement! In fact, measure that is measurable. 

Some refinement of this question would clarify your intent. For example, would some one lime to measure B2C services piggyback on this infrastructure or would one lime to make G2C services revenue based?

Dear Professor Arbab,

I suggest that the Cooper pairs could be two neutrinos bound with zero spin. Because on your paper about the massive photons, they are magnetic monopoles, and they can render massless photon described by quantum field theory. So the massive photons seem to be Cooper pairs of neutrinos.

You could consider to use Twitter. It has a really nice API to get tweets, followers and trending topics.

If you use python there is a really nice module for that:

This is a nice example: http://www.twittermood.org/

They extract the mood from the tweets and build a map.

Good luck!

I have collected some collaborate software and listed in my mind map http://www.mindmeister.com/39918845/online-collaboration-tools-2011-nader-ale-ebrahim during my PhD journey. You may find more tools in my another mind map which called "Research Tools" http://www.mindmeister.com/39583892/research-tools-by-nader-ale-ebrahim , this one is designed to assist postgraduate students (Find more detail on http://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=2280007 ).

For the correct statistical test procedures please read

Thank i read the method regards

Thanks a lot, Abdessamad Mouzoune!

Yes, the last article I already have it, but the first one and second are a nice addition to the reading list. Specially the term "Feral System" as a synonym of the Shadow one, which may help me find more literature about it.

Great! Thanks!

Salam,

Yes.

For those who are interested, I've just published the results of our survey:

Don't hesitate to comment on my blog and/or retweet the results: http://twitter.com/rolytyler/status/18466480518

Thanks for the discussion :-)
