CoAKTinG: Collaborative Advanced Knowledge Technologies in the Grid - Buckingham Shum, S; DeRoure, D; Eisenstadt, M; Shadbolt, N; Tate, A
Grid infrastructures coupled with semantic web linkage and reasoning open up intriguing new possibilities for scientific collaboration. In this short paper, we outline the research agenda and collaboration technologies under development within the CoAKTinG project: Collaborative Advanced Knowledge Technologies in the Grid. CoAKTinG will provide tools to assist scientific collaboration by integrating intelligent meeting spaces, ontologically annotated media streams from online meetings, decision rationale and group memory capture, meeting facilitation, issue handling, planning and coordination support, constraint satisfaction, and instant messaging/presence. Their integration is illustrated through an extended use scenario.

Automating CapCom Using Mobile Agents and Robotic Assistants - Clancey, W.J.; Sierhuis, M.; Alena, R.; Berrios, D.; Dowding, J.; Graham, J.S.; Tyree, K.S; Hirsh, R.L.; Garry, W.B.; Semple, A.; Buckingham Shum, S.J.; Shadbolt, N.; Rupert, S.M.
We have developed and tested an advanced EVA communications and computing system to increase astronaut self-reliance and safety, reducing dependence on continuous monitoring and advising from mission control on Earth. This system, called Mobile Agents (MA), is voice controlled and provides information verbally to the astronauts through programs called "personal agents." The system partly automates the role of CapCom in Apollo-including monitoring and managing EVA navigation, scheduling, equipment deployment, telemetry, health tracking, and scientific data collection. EVA data are stored automatically in a shared database in the habitat/vehicle and mirrored to a site accessible by a remote science team. The...

Chain ReAKTing: Collaborative Advanced Knowledge Technologies in the Comb-e-Chem Grid
The CoAKTinG (Collaborative Advanced Knowledge Technologies in the Grid) project
has developed a set of integrated tools to enhance collaboration between e-Scientists. As one
of three case studies, these tools are being applied within the Combechem e-Science pilot
project. Two levels of integration are being explored: straightforward deployment of generic
CoAKTinG tools, and a deep integration between these tools and the Combechem grid. The
deeper integration supports the publication at source research objective of Combechem, in
which a digital record is maintained through the information processing chain that starts in the
laboratory, supporting retrospective use in the e-Science process. In this paper we provide an
overview of the...

Concept Mapping Between Compendium and IX - Chen-Burger, Dr. Yun-Heh; Tate, Prof. Austin
This document provides a conceptual framework for mapping modelling primitives between I-X adn Compendium. It extends the initial description of issues discussed during the CoAKTinG workshop at Open University, October 10-11, 2002. Its content is based on a follow-up internal Edinburgh meeting and the design of new I-X v3.0. Feedback in telephone conversations with Michelle Bachler from OU has also been factored in.

Mapping Principles between IX and Compendium - Chen-Burger, Dr. Yun-Heh
This document describes initial attempts to provide mapping principles that may be carried out for translating concepts between Compendium and IX Process Panels. This document is based on previous mapping results [1] and provides a more detailed illustration of it. Its purpose is to promote discussion and provide a foundation for forming mapping consensus between Compendium and IX. This document first describes mapping principles. These principles are used in and demonstrated by a concrete example that is based on a larger Compendium map provided by Simon Buckingham-Shum, KMI OU. As understood, a new version of IX Process Panel will be...

Collaborative Tools in the Semantic Grid - Bachler, Michelle; Buckingham Shum, Dr. Simon; Chen-Burger, Dr. Yun-Heh (Jessica); Dalton, Jeff; Eisenstadt, Prof. Marc; Komzak, Jiri; Michaelides, Dr. Danius; Page, Dr. Kevin; Potter, Dr. Stephen; De Roure, Prof. David; Shadbolt, Prof. Nigel; Tate, Prof. Austin
The CoAKTinG project aims to advance the state of the art in collaborative mediated spaces for distributed e-Science. The project is integrating several knowledge based and hypertext tools into existing collaborative environments, and through use of a shared ontology to exchange structure, promotes enhanced process tracking and navigation of resources before, after, and while a meeting occurs. This paper provides an overview of the CoAKTinG tools, the ontology that connects them, and current research activities.

Collaboration in the Semantic Grid: a Basis for e-Learning - Bachler, Michelle; Buckingham Shum, Simon; Chen-Burger, Yun-Heh; Dalton, Jeff; De Roure, David; Eisenstadt, Marc; Komzak, Jiri; Michaelides, Danius; Page, Kevin; Potter, Stephen; Shadbolt, Nigel; Tate, Austin
The CoAKTinG project aims to advance the state of the art in collaborative mediated spaces for the Semantic Grid. This paper presents an overview of the hypertext and knowledge based tools which have been deployed to augment existing collaborative environments, and the ontology which is used to exchange structure, promote enhanced process tracking, and aid navigation of resources before, after, and while a collaboration occurs. While the primary focus of the project has been supporting e-science, this paper also explores the similarities and application of CoAKTinG technologies as part of a human centred design approach to e-Learning.

Hypermedia Support for Argumentation-Based Rationale: 15 Years on from gIBIS and QOC - Buckingham Shum, Dr S; Selvin, A; Sierhuis, Dr M; Conklin, Dr J; Haley, C; Nuseibeh, Prof B
Having developed, used and evaluated some of the early IBIS-based approaches to design rationale (DR) such as gIBIS and QOC in the late 1980s/mid-1990s, we describe the subsequent evolution of the argumentation-based paradigm through software support, and per-spectives drawn from modeling and meeting facilitation. Particular attention is given to the challenge of negotiating the overheads of capturing this form of rationale. Our approach has maintained a strong emphasis on keeping the representational scheme as simple as possible to enable real time meeting mediation and capture, attending explicitly to the skills required to use the approach well, particularly for the sort...
