The CoAKTinG project (Collaborative Advanced Knowledge Technologies in the Grid: CoAKTing) started in June 2002 and runs for 24 months as a 'satellite' project to the 6 year Advanced Knowledge Technologies IRC. It is funded by the UK e-Science Programme. Its objective is to advance the state of the art in collaborative mediated spaces for distributed e-Science through the novel application of advanced knowledge technologies, such as:
Ontologies to enhance multi-modal and multi-media time phased group discussions and problem solving
Knowledge-based planning and task support to enhance issue-based process/activity discussions
Scholarly discourse and argumentation to enhance collaborative meeting structures
Presence and visualisation to enhance group peripheral awareness at a distance
This presentation will summarise progress in supporting e-Science collaboration by integrating and demonstrating the utility of tools and techniques developed at the three partner institutions.
Maven of the Month
We are also inviting top experts in AI and Knowledge Technologies to discuss major socio-technological topics with an audience that comprises both members of the Knowledge Media Institute, as well as the wider staff at The Open University. Differently from our seminar series, these events follow a Q&A format.
