The design and implementation of a satellite mission
is divided into several different phases. Parallel to these phases an evolution of requirements will take place. Because so many people in different locations and from different background have to work in different subsystems concurrently the ideas and concepts of different subsystems and different locations will diverge. We have to bring them together again. To do this we introduce synchronization points. We bring representatives from all subsystems and all location in a Concurrent Engineering Facility (CEF) room together. Between CEF sessions the different subsystems will diverge again, but each time the
diversion will be smaller. Our subjective experience from test projects says this CEF sessions are most effective in the first phases of the development, from Requirements engineering until first coarse design. After Design and the concepts are fix, the developers are going to implementation and the concept divergences will be much smaller, therefore the CEF sessions are not a very big help any more.
Despite the internet's dynamic and collaborative nature, scientists continue to produce grant proposals, lab notebooks, data files, conclusions etc. that stay in static formats or are not published online and therefore not always easily accessible to the interested public. Because of limited adoption of tools that seamlessly integrate all aspects of a research project (conception, data generation, data evaluation, peerreviewing and publishing of conclusions), much effort is later spent on reproducing or reformatting individual entities before they can be repurposed independently or as parts of articles.
We propose that workflows - performed both individually and collaboratively - could potentially become more efficient if all steps of the research cycle were coherently represented online and the underlying data were formatted, annotated and licensed for reuse. Such a system would accelerate the process of taking projects from conception to publication stages and allow for continuous updating of the data sets and their interpretation as well as their integration into other independent projects.
A major advantage of such work ows is the increased transparency, both with respect to the scientific process as to the contribution of each participant. The latter point is important from a perspective of motivation, as it enables the allocation of reputation, which creates incentives for scientists to contribute to projects. Such work ow platforms offering possibilities to fine-tune the accessibility of their content could gradually pave the path from the current static mode of research presentation into a more coherent practice of open science.
Scientific research is a process concerned with the creation, collective accumulation, contextualization, updating and maintenance of knowledge. Wikis provide an environment that allows to collectively accumulate, contextualize, update and maintain knowledge in a coherent and transparent fashion. Here, we examine the potential of wikis as platforms for scholarly publishing. In the hope to stimulate further discussion, the article itself was drafted on Species-ID – a wiki that hosts a prototype for wiki-based scholarly publishing – where it can be updated, expanded or otherwise improved.
Viele Studierende der Geschichte und anderer Geisteswissenschaften streben das Lehramt an. Darin Fuß zu fassen, wird in den kommenden Jahren immer schwieriger. Andere Studierende haben sogar überhaupt keine Vorstellungen von ihrer beruflichen Zukunft. Dieser Leitfaden möchte Orientierung bei der Berufswahl vermitteln und mit Hilfe von Experten Perspektiven eröffnen.
