Jacobs, Rachel. "The artists' footprint : investigating the distinct contributions of artists engaging the public with climate data." Thesis, University of Nottingham, 2014. http://eprints.nottingham.ac.uk/14450/.
Full textAbstract:
This thesis investigates the distinct contributions of artists who engage the public with climate data, exploring the role of the artists and the value of their contributions by focusing on two studies of artist-led projects. The first investigates how the author’s own artist led collective, Active Ingredient, engaged the public with climate data through a touring interactive artwork. The second study explores the design of an online platform for capturing, authoring and ‘performing’ climate data. This platform was developed and tested by Active Ingredient in collaboration with researchers from the University of Nottingham, and then used by other artists to engage with climate data. The studies reveal how the artistic projects were designed and experienced, through a mixed methods approach requiring the author to shift perspectives in order to investigate her own arts practice alongside the work of other artists in this field. The findings from these studies suggest that the artists adopt a distinctive voice that fosters an emotional engagement with climate data, rather than an informative or persuasive one, that goes beyond ‘environmental knowing’ towards human-scale, embodied, localized and personalized sense making. This research reveals how the artists use the key strategies of performing data, sensory experience and multiple interpretations to provoke these emotional responses. Highlighting the challenges and opportunities of engaging temporal structures and narratives to represent climate data; treating the data as a new material that is embedded into the artworks and embodied in various sensory forms; abstracting and juxtaposing multiple, contrasting and yet related datasets so as to invite comparisons, while opening up spaces between them for interpretation and dialogue. This results in a discussion of the role of technology within the artistic process, how the artists walk a line between authenticity and emotional engagement in their interpretations of climate data and the importance of an ongoing dialogic collaboration between the artists, researchers and climate scientist that support authentic and meaningful engagements with climate data. The research presents rich descriptions of the artists’ strategies for engaging the public with climate data and revealing that artists have a distinctive and powerful role to play in relation to climate change and sustainability; one that Human Computer Interaction (HCI) and Climate Science need to understand as they continue to move into this territory, and where HCI in particular might ultimately learn about how to bring an emotional treatment to many other forms of data.

Full textAbstract:
Internal+/-External Terrains is a meditation on the nature of electronic creativity, primarily from a production point of view. It seeks to arbitrate and synthesise a range of skills, attributes and ideas that might constitute the field of electronic aesthetics. It does this from the perspective of electronic artists, and the socio/economic/cultural system they increasingly serve. The aesthetics of electronic production, as looked at through the framework of electracy, serves as a model through which to locate some specific shifts in both self-making, and capitalism, in both their Post-Fordist, and globalising manifestations. Internal+/-External Terrains is a meditation on the re-conceptualisation going on in electronic meaning-making, as it is currently happening at the interfaces of the psyche, the politico-cultural domain, and in the techno-aesthetic apparatus of its production. Through the compilation of a possible program in electracy (of its various aesthetic components as used in production), along with a brief outline of the electronic artist, Internal+/-External Terrains situates both, as role-model and epicentre, of an increasingly accepted mode of abstraction: Radial-Logic©. And it is this omnidirectional form of abstraction currently lighting the cyber-cohering logic of an already arrived future.

Full textAbstract:
This essay considers Willa Cather’s use of fairy tale, musical, and mythological references within The Song of the Lark to rewrite cultural paradigms of patriarchal oppression and create a female-empowered narrative of an artist’s life. Through a complex network of allusions, Cather creates a successful künstlerroman by conveying the complicated realities of her female protagonist’s struggle to become an artist. Only by examining the full context of the novel’s allusions can we clearly understand the author’s characterization of her main character, Thea Kronberg.Thesis (M.A.) - Wichita State University, College of Liberal Arts and Science, Dept. of English

Full textAbstract:
“Girl Power!” is a message that parents raising young women in today’s media-saturated society should be able to turn to with a modicum of relief from the relentlessly harmful messages normally found within popular music. But what happens when we turn a critical eye toward the messages cloaked within this supposedly feminist missive? A close examination of popular music associated with girl empowerment reveals that many of the messages found within these lyrics are frighteningly just as damaging as the misogynistic, violent, and explicitly sexual ones found in the usual fare of top 100 Hits. In fact, this cooption of feminist messages introduces a new danger in that it masks the commodification of feminism into a marketed brand of heightened sexual awareness (Gill 2008) while promoting traditional male behaviors as equalizing acts of power (Kilbourne 2009 ).Thesis (M.A.)--Wichita State University, Fairmount College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, Dept. of Liberal Studies

de, Vries Rowen. "An EGSnrc Monte Carlo investigation of backscattered electrons from internal shielding in clinical electron beams." Thesis, University of Canterbury. Physics and Astronomy, 2014. http://hdl.handle.net/10092/9595.
Full textAbstract:
The ability to accurately predict dose from electron backscatter created by internal lead shielding utilized during various superficial electron beam treatments (EBT), such as lip carcinoma, is required to avoid the possibility of an overdose. Methods for predicting this dose include the use of empirical equations or physically measuring the electron backscatter factor (EBF) and upstream electron backscatter intensity (EBI). The EBF and upstream EBI are defined as the ratio of dose at, or upstream, from the shielding interface with and without the shielding present respectively. The accuracy of these equations for the local treatment machines was recognised as an area that required verification; in addition the ability of XiO's electron Monte Carlo (eMC) treatment planning algorithm to handle lead interfaces was examined. A Monte Carlo simulation using the EGSnrc package of a Siemens Artiste Linac was developed for 6, 9, 12, and 15 MeV electron energies and was verified against physical measurements to within an accuracy of 2 % and 2 mm. Electron backscatter dose distributions were predicated using the MC model, Gafchromic film, and XiO eMC, which when compared showed that XiO's eMC could not accurately calculate dose at the lead interface. Several MC simulations of lead interfaces at different depths, corresponding to energies of 0.2-14 MeV at the interfaces, were used to validate the accuracy of the equations, with the results concluding that the equation could not accurately predict EBF and EBI values, especially at low energies. From this data, an equation was derived to allow estimation of the EBF and upstream EBI, which agreed to within 1.3 % for the EBF values and can predict the upstream EBI to a clinically acceptable level for all energies.

Cooke, Patricia K. "From the sublime to duende: a cross-cultural study on the aesthetics of artistic transcendence." Thesis, Wichita State University, 2008. http://hdl.handle.net/10057/2032.
Full textAbstract:
For centuries, artists have used their works as a means of communication. Such
communication can, at times, connect artist and audience in a unique experience which defies barriers of both language and culture. Although artists have written about this experience--referred to here as “artistic transcendence” or “artistic transport”--since classical times, no word seemed able to encompass its meaning until Longinus used the word “sublime” to describe it. The concept has since undergone several reinterpretations, beginning with the additions by Joseph Addison in the eighteenth century, and continuing to the present day in which the word remains subjective and its uses diverse. Consequently, the notion of artistic transport now requires a new definition--one which embraces both the classical and eighteenth-century notions, yet also incorporates a contemporary understanding of the concept. This thesis submits that the Spanish word duende not only fulfills, but exceeds these requirements. Both the sublime and duende contain elements of a struggle between artist and art, an ability to elevate both artist and audience to a higher realm, and shared roots in the classical notion of artistic transport. Using primary texts from Gorgias’ “Encomium of Helen” to Lorca’s “Play and Theory of the Duende,” this thesis establishes a connection between the classical notion of artistic transport, the eighteenth-century understanding of the sublime, and the twentieth-century concept of duende. Furthermore, the analysis demonstrates how duende, which contains both historical and contemporary connotations, represents the modern sublime both in works of art as well as in the artistic process itself.Thesis [M.A.] - Wichita State University, College of Liberal Arts and Science, Dept. of English

Full textAbstract:
Using automatic methods to assign incoming tracks and albums from multiple sources to artists entities in a digital rights management company, where no universal artist identifier is available and artist names can be ambiguous, is a challenging problem. In this work we propose to use stacked generalization to combine the predictions of heterogeneous classifiers for an improved quality of artist content matching on two datasets from a digital rights management company. We compare the performance of using a nonlinear meta-level learner to a linear meta-level learner for the stacked generalization on the two datasets, as well as on eight additional datasets to see how well our results general- ize. We conduct experiments and evaluate how the different meta-level learners perform, using the base learners’ class probabilities or a combination of the base learners’ class probabilities and original input features as meta-features. Our results indicate that stacking with a non-linear meta-level learner can improve predictions on the artist chooser problem. Furthermore, our results indicate that when using a linear meta-level learner for stacked generalization, using the base learners’ class probabilities as metafeatures works best, while using a combination of the base learners’ class probabilities and the original input features as meta-features works best when using a non-linear metalevel learner. Among all the evaluated stacking approaches, stacking with a non-linear meta-level learner, using a combination of the base learners’ class probabilities and the original input features as meta-features, performs the best in our experiments over the ten evaluation datasets.Att använda automatiska metoder för att tilldela spår och album från olika källor till artister i en digital underhållningstjänst är problematiskt då det inte finns några universellt använda identifierare för artister och namn på artister kan vara tvetydiga. I det här verket föreslår vi en användning av staplad generalisering för att kombinera förutsägningar från heterogena klassificerare för förbättra artistmatchningen i två datamäng från en digital underhållningstjänst. Vi jämför prestandan mellan en linjär och en icke-linjär metainlärningsmetod för den staplade generaliseringen av de två datamängder, samt även åtta ytterligare datamäng för att se hur resultaten kan generaliseras. Vi utför experiment och utvärderar hur de olika metainlärningsmetoderna presterar genom att använda basinlärningsmetodens klassannolikheter eller en kombination av basinlärningsmetodens klassannolikheter och den ursprungliga representationen som metarepresentation. Våra resultat indikerar att staplandet med en icke-linjär metainlärningsmetod kan förbättra förutsägningarna i problemet med att tilldela artister. Vidare indikerar våra resultat att när man använder en linjär metainlärningsmetod för en staplad generalisering är det bäst att använda basinlärningsmetodens klassannolikheter som metarepresentation, medan när man använder en icke-linjär metainlärningsmetod för en staplade generaliseringen är det bäst att använda en kombination av basinlärningsmetodens klassannolikheter och den ursprungliga representationen som metarepresentation. Av alla utvärderade sätt att stapla är staplandet med en icke-linjär metainlärningsmetod med en kombination av basinlärningsmetodens klassannolikheter och den ursprungliga representationen som metarepresentation den ansats som presterar bäst i våra experiment över de tio datamängderna.

O padrão de publicação científica da atualidade é o periódico científico eletrônico. Com a chegada da internet e, principalmente, com a chegada das publicações eletrônicas, a humanidade passou a dispor de muita informação ao mesmo tempo, o que ocasionou uma grande “explosão informacional”. Hoje, a informação é produzida em um ritmo que excede as habilidades humanas. É determinante neste cenário, mobilizar o computador para tratar e processar o conteúdo das informações disponíveis no ambiente Web. Mesmo com a facilidade de acesso ao texto completo dos artigos de periódicos científicos, através de bibliotecas digitais, repositórios digitais, o formato utilizado no meio eletrônico ainda é textual legível somente por pessoas, o que impossibilita o seu processamento semântico por programas. As páginas da Web foram construídas com semânticas locais, e este fato, se constitui como o maior obstáculo para integrar seus conteúdos. Pensar em organizar o caos informacional disponível na Web se tornou imperativo para possibilitar novas formas de acesso à informação digital. A Web 2.0 e Web 3.0 (Web Semântica) se configuram como novas propostas para alcance desses objetivos. A Web Semântica propõe incorporar sentido às informações de maneira que as máquinas possam compreender a linguagem humana, ou seja, fornecer estruturas e dar significado ao conteúdo das páginas Web; e a Web 2.0, além de facilitar a comunicação interpessoal e compartilhar informações, se destacando também pela colaboração científica, incentivando os periódicos científicos tradicionais a adotarem ferramentas colaborativas como os blogs em seus websites. Várias experiências estão sendo desenvolvidas atualmente no sentido de utilizar as tecnologias da Web 2.0 e Web Semântica em publicações acadêmicas eletrônicas. A proposta desta pesquisa é identificar projetos e experiências inovadoras de periódicos científicos que utilizam as tecnologias da Web Semântica e Web 2.0 para fornecer acesso direto ao conteúdo semântico dos artigos científicos digitais e ampliar o potencial de compreensão e recuperação do conteúdo semântico e de interação entre autores e leitores de artigos científicos digitais na Web. O desenvolvimento desta pesquisa está fundamentado nas bases da Ciência da Informação, em especial na Comunicação Científica, dando ênfase à evolução do periódico científico como canal privilegiado deste meio de comunicação e na Ciência da Computação, ao que diz respeito às tecnologias da Web Semântica e Web 2.0. Trata-se de uma pesquisa de natureza documental na Web, bibliográfica, aplicada, qualitativa exploratória e descritiva, que utiliza o método comparativo encontrado no estudo das Ciências Sociais, para a exploração dos fenômenos, identificação das características comuns e diferenças existentes nas dezesseis experiências analisadas por este estudo. Dentre os resultados destas análises, constata-se que o tradicional modelo de artigo científico impresso já não atende muitas das novas necessidades dos pesquisadores e não utiliza efetivamente as potencialidades oferecidas pelas novas Tecnologias de Informação e Comunicação para ampliar a comunicação científica. O grande percentual das experiências analisado está voltado para a área da Saúde, o que reflete o aspecto pioneiro da área Biomédica. As experiências propõem um passo adiante para a questão da recuperação e processamento semânticos de conteúdos em ambientes digitais. Ou seja, vão além do modelo do artigo impresso, lido exclusivamente por pessoas utilizando as tecnologias semânticas para que estes possam ser “inteligíveis” também por programas. Existe um uso efetivo de tecnologias da Web 2.0, com vistas a facilitar o relacionamento do pesquisador no ambiente digital, cujas métricas baseadas nestas atividades podem informar medidas mais rápidas de impacto, complementando as métricas tradicionais de citação, esboçando assim, um novo cenário para a cientometria com o uso destas tecnologias.

Vogt, Ralf. "Exploring enabling factors for purchasing integration into the innovation process in a German medium-sized system integrator of consumer electronics products." Thesis, University of Gloucestershire, 2016. http://eprints.glos.ac.uk/3840/.
Full textAbstract:
The generation of attractive innovations is one of the most important and complex tasks companies undertake, the process of open innovation is being used to support this endeavour. SMEs often face difficulties applying and commercialising external sources’ technologies for their own purposes due to liability of smallness and related lack of capability of co-ordination. In particular, small and medium-sized system integrators of electronic consumer products (SIs) are (1) highly dependent on close collaboration with external organisations, (2) have to cope with turbulent technology markets, and have to manage (3) the continuous shortening of innovation cycles. These factors necessitate small and mediumsized SIs of electronic consumer products to increase their dynamic capability to innovate, which subsequently forms the basis for the SIs’ sustainable competitiveness. The effective embedding of the Purchasing Organisation (PO) into the innovation outside-in process can potentially become a major driver in improving the overall innovation process and company performance. However, given academic research does not provide sufficient insight concerning relevant Enabling Factors (EFs) and related drivers. Therefore, academics allude to a demand for further research in the field of early purchasing involvement in the innovation process. In addition, purchasing practitioners point to the low maturity of Purchasing Organisations with regard to securing innovations. To explore relevant Enabling Factors for purchasing integration into the innovation process, the qualitative study design was based on an embedded case study inquiry with multiple units of analysis. Data collection and analysis was realised through a sequential qualitative quantitative mixedmethod approach. For this reason, interviews were conducted with 7 purchasing experts from the medium-sized German television set manufacturer Loewe. To obtain insights as to the generalisability of the findings, a purposive selected sample of 11 purchasing experts from other SIs with high dependency on innovation suppliers were interviewed via webbased questionnaires. The study identified: EF1: External Interconnectedness EF2: Preferred Customer status Process EF3: Management Commitment to the PO EF4: External Interconnectedness EF5: Early Integration into Product Planning EF6: Degree of Professionalisation of the PO EF7: Innovation Management System and EF8: Open-minded Relations based on Trust as a relevant Enabling Factor. Furthermore, the study suggests direct relations between the EFs and 32 drivers that are formative to the related Enabling Factors. Based on the study findings, 14 strategic measures were defined via focus group interviews. In this way, the study contributes to given academic knowledge in the field of early purchasing involvement into new product development processes (NPD). With regard to such new product development processes, this study suggests integrating the PO, as a third element, into the R&D and marketing interface.

Full textAbstract:
The design of smart, interactive, computational, and electronic textiles involves working with unknown variables that expand the tangible dimensions of textiles. Non-visual concepts such as electromagnetic fields, electrical current, computational code, and the temporal attributes of materials that exhibit dynamic qualities require that textile designers be able to perceive and manipulate domains of the textile that extend beyond its conventional forms of expression. Through these qualities, the textile becomes an interface to otherwise imperceptible phenomena of electromagnetism and thereby opens up to new textile design expressions. However, to do so requires a shift in the understanding of how fundamental textile concepts such as material, form, and expression interrelate to affect the expressive domain of the textile itself. This research aims to describe the material attributes, characteristics, and expressions of electromagnetic phenomena as explored through experimental research methods and suggests ways in which electromagnetic phenomena can be worked with as a design material for smart textiles. Further, it seeks to expand upon conventional design variables of textiles to include its electromagnetic domain. The experiments presented in this thesis suggest a framework for working with magnetic, dielectric, and conductive materials through textile techniques of weaving and knitting. The experiments point to the interrelationship between the textile material, structure, and form, identifying this triad as the key influencers that determine how textile expressions can embrace electromagnetic phenomena. The results of the experimental work are methods that show accessible ways for textile designers to visualize and perceive electromagnetic fields in textiles, such as sensing the impressions of textile structures on the magnetic field using a method of scanned-surface imaging; perceiving electromagnetic fields using textile antennas and spatial exploration, resulting in sonic expression; and kinetic textile behaviours at the yarn level through magnetic interactions. Furthermore, the design possibilities of the materials, methods and tools suggested in this thesis are demonstrated through examples of interactive artefacts, e.g., in the form of ambient energy harvesting forest mobiles and radio-frequency (RF) body extensions. The results suggest the variety of electromagnetic textile expressions that can be created when methods and tools to perceive and manipulate electromagnetic phenomena in textiles are consciously utilized.

As a choreographer working with new media technologies, I recognised a need to develop choreography informed by the digital age. This study was framed by the development of the dance project Ada, over three stages through a qualitative, interdisciplinary process. Artistic practice as research grounded in task based choreographic processes led to the following areas of significance in the study, those being; enacting a narrative, physicalising interactivity, performing virtual dance, and choreographing through a digital perspective. Findings that enunciated the evolution of newmedia choreographic forms and structures arose from reflective practice, dialogue with participants and feedback from a live audience.

Full textAbstract:
How can we re-empower opera singers, extending their control over accompaniment and vocal expressivity? To answer this question, I have opened a novel design space, Extending Opera, consisting of interactive artist–operated tools to be used on-stage. The research has its methodological groundings in Research through Design (RtD) and Research through the Arts (RttA). This particular method is coined "research-throughthe- art-form-opera" – as I have worked within the realms and traditions of opera, probing its boundaries by designing, researching and creating through its own artistic toolbox. Originally conceived for personal use, the artifacts were later used by other singers and incorporated in performances of opera in small and large scale. By composing and designing for the requirements in operatic productions, high demands on robustness were explored in and through custom-built interfaces. The work resulted in ten novel artifacts and performances exploring the expressivity of these tools. Extending Opera is guided by and probed through three questions: 1. How can the design and creation of interactive, artist-operated instruments be informed by deep musical knowledge and be probed by the particular conditions surrounding an operatic production? 2. What impact can interactive, artist-operated instruments have on the opera singers themselves and on their vocal technique? 3. How can interactive, artist-operated instruments empower opera singers, thus challenging contemporary power hierarchies – thereby reconnecting to the explorative practice in opera's early days? My knowledge contribution has surfaced through artistic practice and consists of the exemplars and the artworks, as well as three abstractions – one procedure, one requirement and one experiential quality. Sensory Digital Intonation highlights how the fine-tuning of technologies and real-time interactivity is incorporated in a feed-back loop with artistic concerns and creativity. Performative Stamina ("The Premiere-Factor") highlights how the traditional procedures leading up to a premiere in opera influence the demands on robustness and reliability within the components and the overall design of the novel artifacts. Vocal Embodiment is an experiential quality that describes how the interactive artifacts change the singing itself. In the conclusion, Artistic Re–Empowerment is discussed, proposing that power structures in opera have been probed through the use of the novel artist-operated interactive instruments.QC 20150119

Full textAbstract:
En prenant pour acquis qu'il existe bel et bien une relation entre droit
d'auteur et évolution médiatique, nous avons tenté d'expliciter cette relation en
nous penchant sur le cas des artistes interprètes et exécutants. Ainsi, en mettant à
contribution l'une des théories de la communication, la médiologie, nous avons,
d'une part, identifié ce que l'on appelle, en jargon médiatique, un média
dominant; d'autre part, nous avons caractérisé la mentalité médiatique qui en
découle. Enfin, nous avons examiné le droit d'auteur à la lumière de ces
caractéristiques afin de déterminer quelle place revenait à l'artiste interprète et
exécutant dans un contexte médiatique précis.
Plus spécifiquement et conformément à la démarche que nous venons de
décrire, la première partie de ce mémoire a donc porté sur l'influence d'un
premier média dominant, l'imprimerie. Le statisme et la fixité exigés par la
prédominance de ce média a naturellement orienté notre analyse vers
l'importance de la fixation en droit d'auteur. Comme la fixation revêt une place
de choix en droit d'auteur, la prestation artistique, qui ne répond pas à ce critère,
est reléguée au régime des droits voisins.
Puis, avec l'avènement d'un second média dominant, le média de réseaux,
c'est une toute autre ère qui s'ouvre, celle de la dématérialisation. La fixation
devient alors un critère en pleine perte de vitesse. Malgré tout, la communauté
internationale continue de croire que la prestation artistique relève du régime des
droits voisins Cependant, le Traité de l'OMPI octroie aux artistes interprètes et
exécutants plus de droits. Serait-ce le premier signe d'une éventuelle accession
des artistes interprètes et exécutants au régime de droits d'auteur?If we assume that copyright laws and the evolution of media are linked, our analysis of performance artists attempts to clarify this relationship. Using mediology as a tool for communication theory, we first identified a dominant media, or what is referred as a «mediasphere» in mediology. Next, we qualified its resultant mentality. Finally, we used these characteristics to examine copyright laws in an effort to determine the position of performers in a given mediasphere context. More specifically, the first part of this thesis focuses on the influence of the print as a dominant medium. The prevalence of this medium demands a level of statism and fixity which prompts us to analyze the importance of fixation in copyright laws. Considering the predominance of fixation in copyright laws and the transitory nature of the artistic performance, performers are only granted neighboring rights, not copyrights. Nowadays, the emergence of the electronic medium seems to give way to a new mediasphere in which dematerialisation is the key. Therefore, fixation as a criterion for determining whether or not to copyright a work of art is slowly losing its significance. Despite this fact, the international copyright community continues to believe that performers should be protected by neighboring rights. However, the WIPO Treaty of 1996 grants performers greater rights. Is this the first sign ofperformers gaining potential access to authorship?

Full textAbstract:
The notion of information space (iSpace) is that a collective context of
transmitters and receivers can serve as a medium to share, exchange,
and apply data and knowledge between a group of human beings or
software agents. Inhabiting this space requires a perception of its
dimensions, limits, and an understanding of the way data is diffused
between inhabitants.
One of the important aspects of iSpace is that it expands the limits of
communication between distributed designers allowing them to carry
out tasks that were very difficult to accomplish with the diverse, but
not well integrated current communication technologies.
In architecture, design team members, often rely on each others'
expertise to review and problem solve design issues as well as interact
with each other for critic, and presentations. This process is called
Collaborative Design. Applying this process of collaboration to the
iSpace to serve as a supplementary medium of communication,
rather than a replacement for it, and understanding how design team
members can use it to enhance the effectiveness of the design process
and increase the efficiency of communication, is the main focus
of this research.
The first chapter will give an overview of the research and define the
objectives and the scope of it as well as giving a background on the
evolving technological media in design practice. This chapter will also
give a summary of some case studies for collaborative design projects
as real examples to introduce the subject.
The second chapter of this research will study the collaborative design
activities with respect to the creative problem solving, the group
behaviour, and the information flow between members. It will also
examine the technical and social problems with the distributed collaboration.
The third chapter will give a definition of the iSpace and analyze its
components (epistemological, utilitarian, and cultural) based on research
done by others. It will also study the impact of the iSpace on
the design process in general and on the architectural product in
particular.
The fourth chapter will be describing software programs written as
prototypes for this research that allow for realtime and non-realtime
collaboration over the internet, tailored specifically to suit the design
team use to facilitate distributed collaboration in architecture. These
prototypes are :
1. pinUpBoard (realtime shared display board for pin-ups)
2. sketchBoard (realtime whiteboarding application with multisessions)
3. mediaBase (shared database management system)
4. teamCalendar (shared interactive calendar on the internet)
5. talkSpace (organized forums for discussions)
