Based on 20 years of research, this book lays out a proven and tested method for reaching the goal of employee happiness, analyzing individuals' communication patterns, and making them self-aware by mirroring their behaviour back to them in a privacy-respecting way. In doing so, Peter A. Gloor introduces artificial intelligence-based methods to identify personality, moral values, and ethics of individuals based on their body language and interaction with others. In this book readers will: understand the basic concepts of groupflow - when teams collaborate at their best through intrinsic motivation and positive stress learn how to use artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML) and social network analysis (SNA) to analyze communication by tracking emotions, social networks, morals, and tribes successfully use virtual mirroring to create entangled teams that work together in collaborative innovation networks (COINs) synchronized and in harmony for superior performance understand how to implement virtual mirroring using these technologies. Groundbreaking and innovative, Happimetrics will be an invaluable resource for scholars and students in the fields of business analytics, information systems and organizational innovation. It will also be useful for HR professionals and AI developers who are looking to use predictive analytics to measure workforce performance.

This proceedings is focused on the emerging concept of Collaborative Innovation Networks (COINs). COINs are at the core of collaborative knowledge networks, distributed communities taking advantage of the wide connectivity and the support of communication technologies, spanning beyond the organizational perimeter of companies on a global scale. The book presents the refereed conference papers from the 7th International Conference on COINs, October 8-9, 2019, in Warsaw, Poland. It includes papers for both application areas of COINs, (1) optimizing organizational creativity and performance, and (2) discovering and predicting new trends by identifying COINs on the Web through online social media analysis. Papers at COINs19 combine a wide range of interdisciplinary fields such as social network analysis, group dynamics, design and visualization, information systems and the psychology and sociality of collaboration, and intercultural analysis through the lens of online social media. They will cover most recent advances in areas from leadership and collaboration, trend prediction and data mining, to social competence and Internet communication.

This book helps you to become the leader of your own swarm by building its collective consciousness. A successful swarm business channels the competitive energies of all stakeholders towards collaboration. The journey from homo competitivus to homo collaborensis starts with recruiting and building an intrinsically motivated group of early enthusiasts, the Collaborative Innovation Network. These teams of homo collaborensis combine the four principles of social quantum physics to create collective consciousness: empathy that builds entanglement, and reflection that leads to personal reboot and refocus. Once the team is operational, its collaboration can be tracked and boosted using the "six honest signals of collaboration", patterns of collaboration, which will further increase the performance of the swarm. The six honest signals are central leadership, rotating leadership, balanced contribution, responsiveness, honest sentiment, and shared context. These concepts are illustrated with examples from leading organizations based on decades of research by the author at MIT, ranging from the creation of the Web, Uber and Airbnb to Fortune 500 high tech firms and healthcare organizations.

Sociometrics and Human Relationships translates the latest academic research into practical business strategies and techniques as well as actionable insights, providing a wealth of examples for social network analysis and predicting trends. Gloor illustrates how to improve organizational performance by optimizing communication and collaboration through email. Based on Collaborative Innovation Networks courses which have been taught for over a decade to students forming virtual teams across a number of universities, Gloor shows readers how to leverage virtual collaborative creativity in the Internet age, and helps them understand and apply the dynamics of online communication via a variety of tools. Gloor has also created a tool that analyses all types of social media such as: Twitter, Wikipedia, online blogs and Facebook as well as email or Skype logs to predict election outcomes, perception and strength of brands, customer and employment satisfaction, or fraudulent behavior. Gloor explains how to use his tool, Condor, to visualize, monitor and manage brands, products and topics online, as well as analyzing organizations through their email networks.

Collaborative innovation networks are cyberteams of motivated individuals, and are self-organizing emergent social systems with the potential to promote health, happiness and individual growth in real-world work settings. This book describes how to identify and nurture collaborative innovation networks in order to shape the future working environment and pave the way for health and happiness, and how to develop future technologies to promote economic development, social innovation and entrepreneurship. The expert contributions and case studies presented also offer insights into how large corporations can creatively generate solutions to real-world problems by means of self-organizing mechanisms, while simultaneously promoting the well-being of individual workers. The book also discusses how such networks can benefit startups, offering new self-organizing forms of leadership in which all stakeholders are encouraged to collaborate in the development of new products.

In diesem Tagungsband wird eine Ubersicht uber den Stand der Forschung auf dem Gebiet Hypertext/Hypermedia gegeben. Er enthalt die gesammelten Beitrage der "SI Hypertext/Hypermedia Fachtagung" vom 6. April 1990 in Basel und des Workshops "Hypertext/Hypermedia '90" vom 23./24. April in Darmstadt und umfasst damit die meisten aktuellen Projekte im deutschen Sprachraum. Es werden sowohl grundlegende Ideen als auch praktische Anwendungen des Hypertext-Konzepts wie on-line Handbucher und Unterrichtsprogramme besprochen. In theoretischen Beitragen wird auf die Problematik der Navigation im Hyperraum eingegangen und die Verwendung von Hypertext zur Kommunikation von Wissen wird untersucht. Weiterhin werden Beziehungen hergestellt zu anderen Gebieten der Informatik, wie z.B. Datenbanken und Expertensystemen. Dabei werden insbesondere Ansatze zur Integration dieser drei Technologien untersucht. In den Beitragen des praktischen Teils werden einerseits neue Hypertext- und Hypermedia-Systeme vorgestellt, andererseits aber auch Anwendungen solcher Systeme. Dies geht von Programmeditoren mit Hypertext-Fahigkeiten uber Entwurfstechniken zur Erstellung von Hypertext-Dokumenten bis zum Einsatz von Hypertext fur den Unterricht. Neben theoretischen Untersuchungen wurde in diesem Bereich auch bewusst Raum gelassen fur die Besprechungen von interessanten Dokumenten und Anwendungen wie der Konversion einer mittelalterlichen Weltkarte in Hypertext-Form oder dem Einsatz von Hyperdokumenten zur Filmanalyse.

Dieses Buch soll zwei verschiedene Aufgaben erfullen: Es soll eine umfassende Ubersicht uber das Gebiet "Hypermedia" geben. Es sollen Anwendungsbeispiele aus den verschiedensten Teilbereichen von Hypermedia in HyperCard beschrieben und so dokumentiert werden, dass sie vom interessierten Anwendungsprogrammierer jederzeit nachvollzogen werden konnen. Der Begriff "Hypermedia" beinhaltet sowohl ein neues Konzept als auch eine neue Technik. Ahnlich, wie funf Jahre zuvor der Begriff "Desktop Publishing" den Einsatz des Personal Computers im Buro revolutionierte, erlaubt die Verwendung von Hypermedia-Techniken den Gebrauch des Computers fur vollig neue Einsatzbereiche. Im Gegensatz zu Desktop Publishing aber ist Hypermedia nicht nur eine neue Technik, sondern es ermoglicht den Gebrauch des Computers in Bereichen, die bis heute dem (Kunst-)Handwerker vorbehalten waren. Der produktive Einsatz des Computers in Film-und Tonstudio, fur das Schreiben und das Betrachten von elektronischen Handbuchern, fur Unterrichtsprogramme und als Medium fur die Teamarbeit verschaffen dem Computer Einstieg in neue Welten, die sich grundsatzlich von den traditionellen Computeranwendungen unterscheiden und in denen bis heute niemand Einsatzmoglichkeiten fur den Computer gesehen hat."

Der Begriff objektorientiert ist im Moment ein Schlagwort, das vor aHem im Gebiet der Programmentwicklung und des Programmdesigns neue Losungen zu versprechen scheint I. Auch die Idee, ein Betriebssystem mit einer objektorientierten Struktur aufzubauen ist keinesfalls neu. So hat Wulf bereits 1981 ein experimentelles Betriebssystem mit einer objektorientierten Struktur namens Hydra implementiert WuI81], das auf weitere objektorientierte Vorfahren zuriickblicken konnte. Nachdem dieser Begriff in neuester Zeit eine erweiterte Bedeutung erhalten hat, sollen die Auswirkungen dieses erweiterten Objekthegriffs auf der Betriebssystem-Ehene Hauptgegenstand dieses Buches sein. In den ersten vier, mehr theoretisch ausgerichteten Kapiteln werden die Grundlagen gelegt flir zwei konkrete Vorschlage zur Erweiterung von konventioneHen Betriebssystemen, die in den heiden letzten, praktischen Kapiteln vorgestellt werden. Diese heiden Vorschlage sollen einen Beitrag zu einem immer noch sehr aktueHen Thema leisten, namlich der Synchronisation in verteilten Systemen. Wenn heute Uber das Forschungsgebiet Betriebssysteme gesprochen wird, so ist klar, dass damit auch immer verteilte Betriebssysteme gemeint sind, da aus verschiedenen GrUnden, auf die in diesem Buch noch ausflihrlicher eingegangen wird, der Zusammenschluss von isolierten Maschinen zu einem verteilten System auf der Betriebssystem-Ebene sich als vorteilhafteste Losung erwiesen hat.

Swarm Creativity introduces a powerful new concept-Collaborative Innovation Networks, or COINs. Its aim is to make the concept of COINs as ubiquitous among business managers as any methodology to enhance quality and competitive advantage. The difference though is that COINs are nothing like other methodologies. A COIN is a cyberteam of self-motivated people with a collective vision, enabled by technology to collaborate in achieving a common goal-an innovation-by sharing ideas, information, and work. It is no exaggeration to state that COINs are the most productive engines of innovation ever. COINs have been around for hundreds of years. Many of us have already been a part of one without knowing it. What makes COINs so relevant today, though is that the concept has reached its tipping point-thanks to the Internet and the World Wide Web. This book explores why COINS are so important to business success in the new century. It explains the traits that characterize COIN members and COIN behavior. It makes the case for why businesses ought to be rushing to uncover their COINs and nurture them, and provides tools for building organizations that are more creative, productive and efficient by applying principles of creative collaboration, knowledge sharing and social networking. Through real-life examples in several business sectors, the book shows how to leverage COINs to develop successful products in R & D, grow better customer relationships, establish better project management, and build higher-performing teams. In short, this book answers four key questions: Why are COINs better at innovation? What are the key elements of COINs? Who are the people that participate in COINs and how do they become members? And how does an organization transform itself into a Collaborative Innovation Network?

This hypermedia CD-ROM provides an ideal format for the visual explanation of complex algorithms contained in the text "Introduction to Algorithms," by Thomas H. Cormen, Charles E. Leiserson, and Ronald L. Rivest. It contains three complementary components: a hypertext version of the book itself, interactive animations of the most important algorithms, and movies explaining the use of the hypertext interface and the animations. The hypertext, including the figures, is stored in HyperCard stacks. It contains tools for navigation, text annotation, tracking of preexisting links, full-text search, and the adding of links and paths through the document. This enables instructors and students to customize the hypertext easily for classroom and personal use. The animations that are implemented in HyperCard are linked with the hypertext and can be controlled interactively by the user. They also include extensive on-line help, making them self-contained. Some animations include scripting facilities allowing users to program animations of specific data structures. The movies ("talking heads" and demonstrations) provide a way to view noninteractive versions of the algorithm animations. These are stored on the CD in QuickTime format. Peter Gloor is Research Associate in the Laboratory for Computer Science, and Scott Dynes is a Ph.D candidate in the Eaton Peabody Laboratory, both at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
