A Novel Architecture for Collaborative Environments
A novel architecture, called Cognitive Social Knowledge Grid, is introduced as a solution for collaborative environments. The CSKG performs information and knowledge operations through collaboration of agents and services in a service-oriented context. Its services and mechanisms have been described and relationship models of its components and services have been presented using UML. Utilizing capabilities of social network services, user profiles information, social characteristics of human and operational environment, CSKG collaboration management services form communities to perform an activity submitted by a user or an application program. We believe that our proposed architecture supports collaborative knowledge societies. Ultimately, CSKG performance and execution capabilities in large-scale collaboration networks have been evaluated. Furthermore, community formation based on user profiles similarities and social parameters like trust and commitment is argued using weighted cosine similarity function.
