E-raamat: E-CARGO and Role-Based Collaboration: Modeling and Solving Problems in the Complex World

"This book systematically describes the fundamental understanding of collaboration, collaboration systems, and complex systems and then propose solutions to the related problems with the assistance of the model and methodology. The structure follows a typical technology development document that begins with an introduction to collaboration and problem solving, then provide a thorough survey of the fundamental concept role. After that, Role-Based Collaboration (RBC) methodology, the model E-CARGO are defined and illustrated. After a thorough description of the technical specifications, the book investigates thoroughly important problems in RBC, i.e., Group Role Assignment (GRA), Extensions of GRA, Role Transfer, and highlights representative applications from different aspects of the methodology"--

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 contains a set of concepts, models, components, and algorithms for establishing an effective collaborative system. The role-based collaboration (RBC) methodology can be applied to the analysis, design, and development 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 provides insights into complex systems through the use of its core model ECARGO. 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, components, and algorithms for the analysis, design, implementation, and maintenance of a complex system 
• Presents computational methods that use roles as a primary underlying mechanism to facilitate collaborative activities 
• Explores the RBC model that concentrates on the aspects that can be handled by individual researchers or 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.
