METIS Global Virtual Network Project Toward Beijing Olympics 2008: Managing Uncertainty with Media Content Platforms. Total Innovation Management mediated by CSCW Design?

摘要

We think that an appropriate design of Computer Supported Collaborative Work (CSCW) environment should facilitate creative and innovative collaborative work especially in the new era of global collective creation and exchange of media content: digital film, scientific data and R&D communication process applied to New Media. Our METIS project is based on a new interdisciplinary and cross cultural global virtual network and is involving Scientists, IT innovation specialists, Movie professionals and Students from China, North America and Europe. Media Content Platforms, which are becoming a key issue in the development of future CSCW-based information environment of movie, TV and interactive media industries, are necessary to be capable of dealing with uncertain, dynamic and individualized features of media content objects. On the basis of massive fundamental research, we present in this paper a fuzzy content description and manipulation model that is experimented to be effective in the management of uncertainty of media objects.
