Using Liferay as an Interdisciplinary Scientific Collaboration Portal: A Comparative Usability Study of Version 6.1 and 6.2

摘要

Interdisciplinary collaboration is seen as a means to solve complex problems that surpass disciplinary boundaries. By combining methods from different disciplines advances can be achieved that were previously inaccessible. In the Cluster of Excellence "Integrative Production Technology for High-Wage Countries" - a research cluster with over 180 staff members from various disciplines -interdisciplinary collaboration is applied intensively. In order to support this collaboration process, we set up a scientific cooperation portal that supports the researchers in various ways.
