  • The needs of collaboration among design participants spread in different locations is emphasized in the early design stage in order to not only save time and provide places to meet and talk, but also to save cost for those events as well: This is being realized by the Internet, which helps support a networked, integrated real-time multi-user environment. As the base for collaboration activities moves from physical places to cyberspace, the methods of connecting every participant by means of a computer technology have been desired and considered. This study aims at investigating today's collaboration technology in the architectural design process, especially focused on the early stages, in terms of temporal dimensions. In addition, major concepts for and previous efforts and tools of collaborative design have been examined, and a specific recommendation has been proposed for future development of collaborative architectural design systems: That is distributed collaboration, which is accessible and comprehensible to all the professionals in the building design team, which not only allows the sharing of information but also the sharing of understanding, and which facilitates the development of design tools for different aspects of the envisioned collaborative design environment.

  • Front end planning is arguably the most impactful process in the successful delivery of capital projects. Organizations expend substantial effort in this planning process, intending to minimize risk and promote project success. This process has been well documented, including critical technical components, as well as the importance of team collaborative components. As organizations continue to pursue large projects with multi-national participation from sponsors, designers, contractors and suppliers, the importance of collaboration on a global scale during front end planning becomes more important, not less. This paper will outline research performed over the past two decades giving the basic components of the process and the value of global collaboration. It will provide guidance to project participants in pursuing successful planning.

  • Informal networks between individuals are widely seen as important in East Asian business systems. However, while the performance implications of guanxi in China have been extensively studied, much less is known on how informal networks may influence business outcomes in other East Asian countries. We examine informal networks in inter-organizational research collaborations in South Korea by studying the role of pre-existing social ties and relational orientation in new product development (NPD) collaborations and university-industry research (UIR) collaborations. We conduct an interview-based, in-depth case analysis of five NPD collaborations and five UIR collaborations. Pre-existing social ties and relational orientation are prevalent in both types of research collaborations. However, they have different consequences for collaboration outcomes. Pre-existing social ties strongly vary in their types and strength, and negatively affect collaboration outcomes unless they result in the selection of competent and motivated partners. Relational orientation manifests itself in a task-related and social exchange between collaboration partners, which contributes to outcomes such as knowledge acquisition and business performance. Korean collaboration managers should rely only on pre-existing social ties that are well-aligned with task-related requirements when initiating and conducting research collaborations. However, the creation of strong relationships between collaboration team members of partnering organizations should be encouraged.

  • In this paper, we propose the modified dynamic weighted round robin (MDWRR) cell scheduling algorithm, which guarantees the delay property of real-time traffic and also efficiently transmits non-real-time traffic. The proposed scheduling algorithm is a variation of the dynamic weighted round robin (DWRR) algorithm and guarantees the delay property of real-time traffic by adding a cell transmission procedure based on delay priority. It also uses a threshold to prevent the cell loss of non-real-time traffic that is due to the cell transmission procedure based on delay priority. Though the MDWRR scheduling algorithm may be more complex than the conventional DWRR scheme, considering delay priority minimizes cell delay and decreases the required size of the temporary buffer. The results of our performance study show that the proposed scheduling algorithm has better performance than the conventional DWRR scheme because of the delay guarantee of real-time traffic.

  • QFD(Quality Function Deployment) is a system for translating specific customer needs into detailed product requirements which are deployed throughout design, production, marketing and support operations. QFD is a team tool. However, most of commercial QFD softwares are standalone and therefore offer limited support for teamwork. In this paper, we developed a web-based QFD software to overcome many of the limitations that standalone systems suffer from. That is, this software was developed for synchronizing collaboration between team members distributed not only geographically but also over time. This software was developed by using Visual studio.NET and Microsoft COM+(CBD) technique and can be implemented on the web browser.

  • Many R&D organizations have interests on knowledge management system(KMS) to organize and utilize their knowledge resources. Currently, for research collaboration and knowledge management R&D organizations use either a specialized knowledge management system or a set of general application systems such as basic messaging system and document management system. The objectives of this paper are to identify important functionalities of knowledge management systems based on team characteristics and knowledge process of research teams in research organizations and to provide implications to design and implement knowledge management system for R&D teams. Survey results show that research teams perceive communication, collaboration and connection functionalities are important when their team sizes are large or they are distributed. During knowledge capture process, they need personalization of knowledge to reduce information overload.

  • The purpose of this study is to measure the extent of collaboration by comparing team size patterns of Korean LIS journals with international LIS journals. For the sample dataset, the top 30 ranked international journals in the field of LIS were selected using the Scimago Journal Rank (SJR), and 4 Korean LIS journals were selected for the years between 2010-2016. The size of the team who authored Korean journal articles were collected from the RISS database, while the size of team who authored international journal articles from the top LIS journals were collected using the Scopus database. The result of this study shows that the most common team size ranged from one member team to three member teams. Overall, the collaborative team size in international journals was higher than Korean journals. In particular, one member team was the most common team size in Korean journals, whereas two members team was most common in the international journals. At the subject level, the most common team size was one team member in the subject area of Library Related, while the most common team size was three team members in the subject area of Science/Engineering. The result of this study suggests that within LIS, the size of teams may vary considerably due to differences in subject areas.

  • Interprofessional collaboration is crucial for patient-centered care and safety. Since healthcare students will be part of interprofessional teams in the future, they need to understand the unique contributions of various healthcare professions to patient care and develop skills in collaboration, communication, leadership, and mutual respect. In response to this need, healthcare faculties have adopted interprofessional education as an innovative teaching method. However, traditional health education has typically taken place within individual schools, resulting in a limited understanding of other professional roles and identities. In our study, we introduced an interprofessional education model involving two different colleges. A total of 152 undergraduate students, comprising 101 medical students from Chung Ang University and 51 nursing students from Sungshin Women's University, participated in the program. A one-day interprofessional education program was conducted to promote collaboration between medical and nursing students. The program included team building and communication games, scenario-based simulations, such as a "room of errors," and tabletop exercises. Key factors for successful interprofessional education include carefully planned scheduling, leadership, and commitment from participating colleges, faculty support and training, the use of diverse teaching methods and technology, and alignment regarding educational directions among the faculty. We believe that this model may provide valuable insights for healthcare institutions aiming to develop and implement interprofessional curricula.

  • The term "Collaborative medical care" commonly used in South Korea refers to the case where doctors from different medical departments work together to treat a patient within the same medical institution. Therefore, "Collaborative medical care" represents the aspect of a medical team where various medical professionals collaborate based on their expertise to treat patients. Additionally, doctors from different specialties within the medical team engage in horizontal division of labor at an equal status, distributing legal responsibilities according to the principles of division of labor. The Supreme Court also acknowledges cases where multiple doctors collectively provide medical treatment through division of labor or collaboration and states that the doctor who initially attended to the patient must accurately inform the subsequent attending doctor about the patient's condition to enable appropriate measures. In medical institutions with multiple specialties, when doctors from different specialties collaborate to provide medical treatment, the doctor who attended to the patient initially must decide whether collaboration is necessary based on the patient's condition. Subsequently, they must inform the doctor from the relevant specialty about the patient's condition accurately to facilitate appropriate actions. The successor doctor who participates in collaborative medical care must actively communicate relevant treatment information related to the patient's condition with the predecessor doctor who requested collaboration, exchange opinions, and do so until the patient's treatment concludes. However, the determination of the necessity of collaborative medical care should be based on the patient's condition at the time, and it cannot be asserted that collaborative medical care is mandatory in all cases. Whether there is negligence in the decision about the necessity of collaboration will be assessed based on the legal principles of a doctor's duty of medical care.
