Autonomous collaborative environment for project-based learning

The importance of integrating different disciplines of information science and technology is growing for the realization of an information system which works robustly in the real world. Such a system should be achieved by integrating different disciplines, since it is difficult to cover all areas in information science and technology by only one person or group. In order to support collaboration, the autonomous collaborative environment for project- based learning was developed. The environment comprises the workshop “A Hundred Hour Workshop” and the community site “WS100H.NET”. Novel interdisciplinary technology, fusion of recognition and parallel computation was successfully developed whose collaboration process was autonomous.
