Organizations have been relying on collaboration for productivity improvement and knowledge sharing. The first step to foster collaboration in organizations is to make it explicit. With this aim, the Collaboration Maturity Model (CollabMM) was proposed and evaluated. The lessons learned during model applications in previous work pointed out the need to review both the model and its evaluation instruments. A literature review also showed some improvement opportunities. Therefore, the objective of this work is to develop a roadmap to highlight the main opportunities of evolution in CollabMM. These opportunities will compose our research agenda in this topic and guide future work.

In parallel programs, the tasks of a given application must cooperate in order to accomplish the required computation. However, the communication time between the tasks may be different depending on which core they are executing and how the memory hierarchy and interconnection are used. The problem is even more important in multi-core machines with NUMA characteristics, since the remote access imposes high overhead, making them more sensitive to thread and data mapping. In this context, process mapping is a technique that provides performance gains by improving the use of resources such as interconnections, main memory and cache memory. The problem of detecting the best mapping is considered NP-Hard. Furthermore, in shared memory environments, there is an additional difficulty of finding the communication pattern, which is implicit and occurs through memory accesses. This work aims to provide a method for static mapping for NUMA architectures which does not require any prior knowledge of the application. Different metrics were adopted and an heuristic method based on the Edmonds matching algorithm was used to obtain the mapping. In order to evaluate our proposal, we use the NAS Parallel Benchmarks (NPB) and two modern multi-core NUMA machines. Results show performance gains of up to 75% compared to the native scheduler and memory allocator of the operating system.

This paper presents a fully complex-valued functional link network (CFLN). The CFLN is a single-layered neural network, which introduces nonlinearity in the input layer using nonlinear functions of the original input variables. In this study, we consider multivariate polynomials as the nonlinear functions. Unlike multilayer neural networks, the CFLN is free from local minima problem, and it offers very fast learning in parameters because of its linear structure. In the complex domain, polynomial based CFLN has an additional advantage of not requiring activation functions, which is a major concern in the complex-valued neural networks. However, it is important to select a smaller subset of polynomial terms (monomials) for faster and better performance, since the number of all possible monomials may be quite large. In this paper, we use the orthogonal least squares method in a constructive fashion (starting from lower degree to higher) for the selection of a parsimonious subset of monomials. Simulation results demonstrate that computing CFLN in purely complex domain is advantageous than in double-dimensional real domain, in terms of number of connection parameters, faster design, and possibly generalization performance. Moreover, our proposed CFLN compares favorably with several other multilayer networks in the complex domain.

We research the multimedia information hiding (MIH) which is a technology to overlay digital information on multimedia contents such as picture, sound, document, etc. As application to disaster management of MIH, we have developed a new technology called "PAIH" (Public Address Information Hiding) which is a technology to overlay information such as position or destination on siren sound of urgent vehicles. Siren sound is allowed to degrade of sound quality, but PAIH is required to decode correct information from siren sound with pitch shift (Doppler effect) or under noisy environment.

Collaborative techniques for business process design are generally supported by groupware tools that allow process actors to interact collecting their knowledge about the activities performed. Despite success reports, challenges are still observed due to the complexity of this task. We propose to gather benefits of interviews, collaboration and visual methods in eliciting business processes in order to deal with problems identified in literature. We present an approach based on a collaborative mobile application which analysts should use while interviewing process stakeholders. The information is collected through a simple BPMN diagram through which they exchange information and build parts of the models.

Local image features can provide the basis for robust and invariant recognition of objects and scenes. Therefore, compact and distinctive representations of local shape and appearance has become invaluable in modern computer vision. In this work, we study a local descriptor based on the Holder exponent, a measure of signal regularity. The proposal is to find an optimal number of dimensions for the descriptor using a genetic algorithm (GA). To guide the GA search, fitness is computed based on the performance of the descriptor when applied to standard region matching problems. This criterion is quantified using the F-Measure, derived from recall and precision analysis. Results show that it is possible to reduce the size of the canonical Holder descriptor without degrading the quality of its performance. In fact, the best descriptor found through the GA search is nearly 70% smaller and achieves similar performance on standard tests. Copyright 2010 ACM.
