A Resource Entity Model Oriented Mobile Collaboration Environment

With the growing popularity of mobile technologies and the increasing use of groups within organizations, it is important to understand the collaboration contexts where mobile collaboration technologies (MCTs) are essential. This is especially critical given the high cost associated with the acquisition and implementation of MCTs and the need to make an informed decision regarding the appropriateness of MCTs. In this paper, the authors address this issue by first drawing on real life-based collaboration scenarios and examining the technology requirements of groups; second, comparing the features offered by MCTs with those of FTF and two types of CMCTs; third, proposing a collaboration environment-technology fit perspective in realizing optimal usage of a collaboration technology; and fourth, creating the Group Collaboration Technology Repertoire Grid, which maps the “ideal” collaboration technology(s) repertoire for each type of collaboration environment. The grid highlights the collaboration environments that would need MCTs and provides managers or organizational group leaders the ability to map their collaboration environments into a specific category and thus more easily decide on the particular collaboration technology repertoire that would be most beneficial.

Mobile Collaboration

Aiming at the issue of resource integration in mobile collaboration environment, a novel method named MCRF-MRSG, which is the resource integration method for mobile collaboration environment based on resource semantic and information granularity, was proposed. Firstly, the information of researches relevant was given such as resource description language, resource description framework and so on. Then, the notation of resource semantic granularity was proposed and the construction of MCRF-MRSG model was described based on resource semantic. After that, the static and dynamic characteristics of the model were analyzed. And the correction of the model was verified through engineering practice. Practice shows that the model of this paper has the correct semantics and engineering practical value.
