Supervising and Collaborating the Networked-Team by DCMS

The groups of experts in different fields usually need to collaborate in a distributed way such that solutions can be investigated with multi-view and multi-level in analysis and modeling of large-scale, sophisticated systems. Consequently, how to organize, supervise, and evaluate such a distributed modeling networked-team has become an important problem. The methodology and platform-DCMS (Distributed Cooperative Modeling System) have been put forward to support collaboration over such networked-team. In addition, a Soft-Agents network system is designed to perform supervising and collaborating teams and individuals in the networked-team, based on their working progress, diligence, modeling complexity and model updating frequency. Such supervising enable judgment on working characteristics and modeling quality of each team and individual separately, in turn provide a basis for future optimization and coordination of the networked-team organization.
