This paper presents a domain-independent architecture for facilitating visual problem solving between robots or softbots and humans. The architecture denes virtual and human agen...
In many settings, agents need to identify competent partners to assist them in accomplishing tasks. Direct experience may not provide sufficient data to learn the competence of ot...
The aim of the paper is twofold: i) understanding how to provide additional information that is reflective of current organizational context in knowledge production and use; ii) p...
Most empirical studies of peer production have focused on the final products of these efforts (such as software in Free/Open Source projects), but there are also many other knowle...
