Review
From the reviews: "The field of collaborative networks has seen remarkable progress over the last 10 to 15 years in terms of research and practical applications. … This book was developed mostly based on this project, over approximately the last four years. Its goal is to contribute to the establishment of that theoretical foundation. … The book could be seminal for researchers and practitioners." (J. Fendrich, ACM Computing Reviews, January, 2009)
Product Description
Collaborative Networks: Reference Modeling works to establish a theoretical foundation for Collaborative Networks. Particular emphasis is put on modeling multiple facets of collaborative networks and establishing a comprehensive modeling framework that captures and structures diverse perspectives of these complex entities. Further, this book introduces a contribution to the definition of reference models for Collaborative Networks. Collaborative Networks: Reference Modeling provides valuable elements for researchers, PhD students, engineers, managers, and leading practitioners interested in collaborative systems and networked society.
