Scientific diasporas as development partners; skilled migrants from Colombia, India and South Africa in Switzerland: empirical evidence and policy responses
Over the last two decades, globalisation has accelerated international migration flows, particularly of skilled labour. Yet, increasing migration by skilled workers from developing countries (“brain drain”) has raised serious concerns internationally about ...

Over the last two decades, globalisation has accelerated international migration flows, particularly of skilled labour. Yet increasing migration by skilled workers from developing countries («brain drain») has raised serious concerns internationally about ...
Peter Lang2010Knowledge interdependence with the partner, accuracy of mutual knowledge model and computer-supported collaborative learning
Pierre Dillenbourg, Mirweis Sangin, Gaëlle Molinari
The present study is part of a project aiming at empirically investigating the process of modeling the partner’s knowledge (Mutual Knowledge Modeling or MKM) in Computer-Supported Collaborative Learning (CSCL) settings. In this study, a macro-collaborative ...
2009On-line learning and modulation of periodic movements with nonlinear dynamical systems
Abstract The paper presents a two-layered system for (1) learning and encoding a periodic signal without any knowledge on its frequency and waveform, and (2) modulating the learned periodic trajectory in response to external events. The system is used to l ...
2009Transnational practices to benefit local science and technology: Empirical evidence of the Colombian scientific diaspora
Within the current context of globalisation, trasnationalism has acquired importance as a social phenomenon and an object of study, since it shows the value that the diasporas' own decentralized mechanisms have in promoting development in the countries of ...
2008Enriching the indicator base for the economics of knowledge
This chapter addresses the issue of the development of indicators aimed at providing a measurement base with both breadth and depth from which research in the "economics of knowledge" can benefit. While initial attempts at quantification in the area of the ...
OECDpublishing2007Knowledge-based Extraction of Area of Expertise for Cooperation in Learning
Roland Siegwart, Masoud Asadpour
Using each other's knowledge and expertise in learning - what we call cooperation in learning- is one of the major existing methods to reduce the number of learning trials, which is quite crucial for real world applications. In situated systems, robots bec ...
2007Management of Technology in a Learning Center Project
The learning center concept is based on a new vision centered on the need for a convergence of human, information, knowledge, educational resources and a relevant part of information and collaborative technologies. This vision is founded on the new student ...
2005Expertness Measuring in Cooperative Learning
Cooperative Learning in a multi-agent system can improve the learning quality and learning speed. The improvement can be gained if each agent detects the expert agents and use their knowledge properly. In this paper, a new cooperative learning method, call ...
2000Modeling perceptual learning: difficulties and how they can be overcome
We investigated the roles of feedback and attention in training a vernier discrimination task as an example of perceptual learning. Human learning even of simple stimuli, such as verniers, relies on more complex mechanisms than previously expected--ruling ...
