Social Proxy is a minimalist view of the presence and activities of participants in online interactions[2]. The application was developed to support collaborative meetings in Second Life, 3D collaborative virtual environment chosen as the setting for this work. Our Social Proxy is called SP HUD, a component that provides a third person view allowing a clearer view of the group’s activities. Thus, we are able to see all the avatars present in the shared space and know the interaction forms of each participant. Social Proxy is a component that is part of a larger project and this paper we present the activities performed, the challenges encountered and preliminary results.","PeriodicalId":107310,"journal":{"name":"2010 Brazilian Symposium on Collaborative Systems II - Simposio Brasileiro de Sistemas Colaborativos II","volume":"45 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-10-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114925378","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The main goal is to propose a semantically oriented infrastructure to organize audiovisual material produced by Brazilian points of culture and independent producers so as to optimize the searches made by community TV broadcasters, schools, film societies and internauts. The collaboration will rely on a content annotation scheme, designed to stimulate both consumers and producers to enrich the overall content description by incorporating viewpoints and meanings associated to relevant scenes, regions and objects present in the production. The proposed architecture is based on technologies for AV content description, such as MPEG-7, semantic web concepts and the Ontology Web Language (OWL). This work considers that collaborative approaches, along with the on-going efforts in expanding the coverage of Internet broadband access in Brazil, will foster the dissemination of the digital technologies in the production and recording of cultural manifestations, allowing artists and entities to publish and distribute in a more effective way their cultural patrimony over the Internet.","PeriodicalId":107310,"journal":{"name":"2010 Brazilian Symposium on Collaborative Systems II - Simposio Brasileiro de Sistemas Colaborativos II","volume":"74 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-10-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127374968","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Despite of various benefits offered by the wikis use, there is no guarantee of a good structure of its content. This occurs especially by the difficulty to graphically visualize the information architecture. In this paper is proposed a Model-Driven Development (MDD) approach that supports creating graphical models of namespaces to generate wikis and facilitates the collaboration organization. Finally, the approach also aims to include accessibility features on models from official W3C guidelines such as WCAG and ATAG, allowing the wiki access by a wider range of user’s types.","PeriodicalId":107310,"journal":{"name":"2010 Brazilian Symposium on Collaborative Systems II - Simposio Brasileiro de Sistemas Colaborativos II","volume":"49 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-10-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122350409","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Telerobotics represents the control/operation of a robot arm from a distance while it performs highly risky manipulations (either with radioactive, explosive or other dangerous objects), for instance. For some telerobotic tasks, two or more operators need to work together depending on the complexity of the task or the complexity of the object being manipulated. A collaborative telerobotic simulator should offer an environment for executing robotic tasks that are divided in such a way that require operators mutual understanding and complementary work. This paper presents a telerobotic 3D simulator for collaborative robotic tasks, called CollBot4us (that comes from “COLLaborative roBOT FOR US”), which allows each operator to visualize the same 3D environment but from their own perspective and operating from different places (connected via network). CollBot4us is intended to be used for telerobotic tasks training as well as for collaboration strategies development.","PeriodicalId":107310,"journal":{"name":"2010 Brazilian Symposium on Collaborative Systems II - Simposio Brasileiro de Sistemas Colaborativos II","volume":"15 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-10-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122050676","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
