Collide Research Group University Duisburg-Essen (UDE)
Collide Facts • COLLIDE (Collaborative Learning in Intelligent Distributed Environments) founded in 1995 • Interdisciplinary team of 10 Researchers and 9 student assistants (at moment) • Current projects: • EU: SISOB and SCY (“Science Created by You”) • German ministry of research and education: Foodweb 2.0, KoPIWA, KOLLEGEA (starting 03/11) • Context: Department of Computer Science and Applied Cognitive Science with focus on human oriented computing:13 computer science groups and 3 psychology groups working and teaching together.
Related ongoing work • Current lines of research: * Collaborative learning environments (interaction analysis, architectures, agent support, mobiles)* Social network analysis and data mining applied to online communities* Competence modelling (using ontologies) for innovation and human resource management • SNA-relatedtools: Data-Multiplexer-Demultiplexer (DMD), CoNaVi - Community Navigation andVisualization • Master course on Electronic Communities and Networks (focus on SNA) • Contributions to ASONAM and SUNBELT conferences;Co-organisation (with D. Suthers) of CSCL 2011 workshop on “Connecting Levels of Learning / Multi-vocality in Interaction Analysis”
Expectations and challenges • Further develop mixed (multi-vocational) approaches to analysing e-communities including advanced SNA methods in a realistic context • time dependency of measurements (window size, progression) • detection of cohesive subgroups (e.g. “group percolation”) • Setting up of an innovative multi-agent architecturefor SISOB (crawlers, multiple post-processing agents) • Scaffolding mechanisms to improve scientific production
