No date as to when the article will be published but it should be this fall. Listed below is the abstract for the journal article to give those interested an indication of what the article is about.
With the
increasing complex business environment that organizations have to operate in
today, teams are being utilized to complete complex tasks. Teams are capable of completing complex tasks
that no one individual can achieve.
Effective team decision-making requires team members to discuss new
information (unshared knowledge) and to consider this new information along
with existing information (shared knowledge).
Research has shown that shared knowledge is favored over unshared
knowledge during team discussion, this is known as the unshared knowledge
barrier in the literature. One method of
transferring unshared knowledge to shared knowledge is to take advantage of new
multiagent systems (MAS) that are designed to support teams. Multiagent systems are capable of filtering
information without any bias toward shared information over unshared
information. This conceptual model
incorporates individual intelligent agents and MAS that monitor and actively
interact with team members as an effort to address the unshared knowledge
barrier, resulting in better team decision-making and problem solving outcomes.
I presented this article during the conference that CGPublishers held this past January in Vancouver, Canada. The presentation slides from this presentation have already been made available on my blogpost MAS as Team Member - Presentation Slides. All of my presentation slides are also available at my slideshare page: www.slideshare.net/JohnTurner5/
Much appreciated.
