Technology Enhanced Learning is an essential reference for both academic and professional researchers in the field of institutional and home education.

Technology Enhanced Learning (TeL) has provided tools and infrastructure to education and training disciplines for over a decade. The papers presented in this volume cover research issues including pedagogical and evaluation theories, integrated learning environments, e-learning experiments, trials and overall results from actual TeL deployment.

This state-of-the-art volume contains a compilation of select papers presented during the Technology Enhanced Learning (TeL) workshop co-located with the World Computer Congress, August 2004, in Toulouse, France.

The engineering life cycle for complex systems design and development requires the set-up of adequate and controlled processes involving different partners and disciplines. The design integration and the final physical/functional integration and qualification imply a high degree of cross-interaction among all partners.This book documents the outcome of a European project on distributed system environments by presenting the results of the user's requirements analysis and assessing the current available technology such as collaboration systems design, analysis, and verification; middleware; product data and workflow management; multicast communication; network QoS management; and groupware. Besides technical results, the book surveys and classifies existing products and tools for collaborative distributed systems engineering.
