Objective: The purpose of this article is to review the nature of collaborations in the field of emergency management and to propose a new cyclical framework that better reflects how collaborations form, function, and evolve throughout the collaboration process. Design: An extensive review of previous literature pertaining to the collaborative process was carried out in order to identify stages through which these collaborative relationships progress in the emergency management arena.Setting: This article focuses on the nature of emergency management collaborations at the local, state, and federal levels in the United States. Results: This article builds upon the previous literature pertaining to collaboration and offers a new framework which visualizes collaboration as a trust-building and outcome cycle which moves through four repeating phases: initiation, inclusion, execution, and evaluation.Conclusions: This cycle supports the continuous, sustained, and safe learning and sharing platform identified in the previous literature and offers an improved visualization that can be used to better prepare for, manage, and reset emergency management collaborations.

This study aims to analyze the collaboration process between stakeholders in landslide disaster management in Gajahmungkur District, Semarang City. Collaboration between stakeholders aims to build commitment, understanding, and responsibility in increasing the effectiveness of disaster management which is analyzed through the concept of collaborative governance by Ansell & Gash (2007). Based on a descriptive qualitative research approach, this research was conducted in the city of Semarang, precisely in the district of Gajahmungkur Kecamatan. Data collection was carried out by interview and documentation techniques. Data analysis is based on four indicators of collaborative governance including: initial conditions, institutional design, facilitative leadership, to the collaborative process. The results of this study indicate that there are three stakeholders involved in the collaboration, namely local government, community groups, and also the private sector, however, in the process the coordination carried out by the three stakeholders is not effective enough, thus hindering disaster management activities. As a result of this lack of coordination, the landslide disaster in Semarang City has not been handled properly. Based on the results of the study, it can be concluded that the collaborative process carried out in landslide disaster management in Semarang City has not run optimally due to lack of coordination and lack of participation from other stakeholders outside the government sector, causing landslides to still occur frequently.

<em>The article deals with the problem of the collaboration between consumers and providers of educational services in the implementation of school’s mission. The concept of the consumers and providers of school services has been presented, the mission of the school of today has been defined, the contradictions of its implementation in the postmodern society have been highlighted, the importance of the collaboration between parents as consumers of educational services and pedagogues as providers of educational services in the implementation of school’s mission has been substantiated, the factors conditioning collaboration, the principles determining the involvement and participation of the consumers of educational services, and the essential elements of collaboration have been actualized. A theoretical interpretation of the concept of value creation in interaction has been presented. Referring to the analysis and meta-analysis of the development and structure of the collaboration process at school a theoretical model of the development of collaboration between consumers and providers of educational services at school has been conceptualized</em>

This chapter outlines a new requirements collaboration process to address these issues. This new process is based on work done by Karl Wiegers in his paper Prioritizing Requirements (Wiegers, 1999), and is extended to include a method of proposing alternate requirements, documenting the negotiation of priority among interested parties, and a way to rationally select priority requirements based on an objective measure of their relative merit. The chapter also introduces an application prototype called the Distributed Requirements Collaboration Tool (DRCT) that was built for use by distributed teams to support the requirements negotiation process described above and also to address the issue of capturing rationale as requirements are negotiated. Lastly, the experience using the DRCT is discussed in order to identify priority requirements for a more functional version of the DRCT.

Many distance learning scenarios, for example, virtual seminars, use collaborative arrangements for learning. By applying them, they offer learners the chance to construct knowledge collaboratively. However, learners often do not possess the skills necessary for a beneficial collaboration. It is therefore important that learners are offered support in these learning scenarios. Scripts for collaborative learning can provide support. They can guide learners through their collaboration process (Ertl, Kopp, & Mandl, 2007b) and help them to acquire collaboration skills (Rummel & Spada, 2005). Scripts for collaboration were originally developed in order to support text comprehension. They facilitate two or more learners—who are similar as far as their existing knowledge and learning strategies are concerned— in their efforts to understand contents provided by theory texts. Collaboration scripts split this process into a sequence of smaller steps, assign each learner to a particular role, and offer a number of comprehension strategies, such as questions, feedback, and elaboration. Each one of these learners has a defined role to play, which in turn is associated with certain strategies and varies within the different phases.

To achieve the needs of business collaboration between business-related multi-core enterprise clusters based on Software as a Service (SaaS) platform, a multi-core management mechanism based on single-core collaboration relationship and business-related multi-core collaboration relationships were erected for the modern industrial system. On base of implicit authority of business functions, a collaborative response model on business event of multi-core enterprise cluster for SaaS platform was established, and an event-based business collaboration process and its algorithms for multi-core enterprise cluster were presented. The model and algorithms had been used in quality problems of auto warranty which needs multi-agent collaborative diagnosis. Business-related agents include after-sales provider, OEM, the assembly parts supplier and the culprit supplier could collaborative diagnosis on base of the SaaS platform.

With the advancement of information and communication technology, virtual teams are becoming more popular as geographical constraints in collaboration have become a non-issue. Features of the technology and characteristics of the group influence interaction processes and outcomes. Two elements are the focus of this paper. The first is anonymity, which has been made feasible by technology. The other concerns gender. Gender is an important research target, and its role in groupwork must not be overlooked. Both elements have aroused much interest across multiple research fields. The existing literature shows their potential in influencing team collaboration processes, satisfaction, and performance. In this paper, the authors present a process-based interpretation of virtual team collaboration, incorporating the anonymity of technology and the gender difference of team members. Using a multiple case study approach, the paper identifies a key set of process variables that shape team performance. The study also examines the interdependencies among the processes. Task-related activity that occurred during team discussion was affected by gender anonymity, and this influenced group performance and members’ satisfaction toward the collaboration process. Group dynamics, including member awareness, leader emergence, and member’s conformity, are salient process variables that affect the virtual team performance as well.
