Task Administration Protocols for Collaborative e-Work

Objective

• Make active decisions and trigger timely actions to improve the coordinated performance
• Situation awareness
  • Identify the current situation
  • Select the appropriate protocol logic
  • Set proper parameter values adaptively

Methodology

• TAP: σ(Ti | π, τ, α) → Pδ = <δ, I, R, PA, S>
• Dependence (δ) analysis
• Dynamic priority assignment
• Workflow under TAPs

Recent organizations involved

IBM, INDOT, Kimberly-Clark Corp.
