Collaborative Networks:Reference Modeling (eBook, PDF)

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

Collaborative Networks: Reference Modeling works to establish a theoretical foundation for Collaborative Networks. Particular emphasis is put on modeling multiple facets of collaborative networks and establishing a comprehensive modeling framework that captures and structures diverse perspectives of these complex entities. Further, this book introduces a contribution to the definition of reference models for Collaborative Networks.

Collaborative Networks: Reference Modeling provides valuable elements for researchers, PhD students, engineers, managers, and leading practitioners interested in collaborative systems and networked society.

Rezensionen

From the reviews:

"The field of collaborative networks has seen remarkable progress over the last 10 to 15 years in terms of research and practical applications. ... This book was developed mostly based on this project, over approximately the last four years. Its goal is to contribute to the establishment of that theoretical foundation. ... The book could be seminal for researchers and practitioners." (J. Fendrich, ACM Computing Reviews, January, 2009)
