Following the framework stages, we designed an Asynchronous Learning Network with a collaborative environment that enables structured collaboration between group members. Hundred and fifty (150) university students divided into teams of ten members each performed two collaborative tasks within a university course. As a preliminary evaluation we classified the messages sent by students within the discussion forum. Feedback on uploads increased significantly in the second assignment indicating that students besides performing their own task also took part in other group’s tasks creating a cooperative group that produced a collaborative outcome. We discuss the suitability of the framework for the design of Collaborative Environments for knowledge sharing and raise a few topics for further research.","PeriodicalId":297042,"journal":{"name":"Computer Supported Activity Coordination","volume":"2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124660151","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}

Testing processes require that human and computer resources be handled as dedicated resources, previously scheduled for testing activities, with no overlapping. Two striking features of this environment are: a) the efficient handling of resources by taking into account the capabilities offered by resources required by testing activities, and b) it provides a broader view of all execution steps in a software-testing plan. Hence, it enables a better planning of software-testing process executions, as well as of human and computer resources involved.","PeriodicalId":297042,"journal":{"name":"Computer Supported Activity Coordination","volume":"8 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133909036","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}

An abstract workflow model is introduced for seem-less interaction of design and test teams, thus enabling faster work-flow and a greater redundancy in the correctness of communicated specification data. The latter is embedded into a systemlevel model and completely integrated into the process. A data-sheet integration methodology is briefly introduced with several application-level requirements and integration guidelines. The goal is to reduce the time for developing and running test programs, which is a major cost factor in the reducing life-cycles of mixed-signal devices. The paper emphasizes obstacles in current settings and suggests workarounds. 1","PeriodicalId":297042,"journal":{"name":"Computer Supported Activity Coordination","volume":"18 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131687630","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}
