Our aim in this paper is to explore the efficacy of boundary objects as tools to mediate conflict in culturally-diverse, distributed networks.
It was also concluded that the OHS consultant should carefully choose boundary objects as learning devices between different communities of practice.
Furthermore, implementers of novel systems may prefer to maintain a rigid interpretation of the boundary object, using such interpretative rigidity of the boundary object as both an inclusion and exclusion mechanism for actors and options in the innovation process.
Some local contrast-based methods, such as IT, AIM, SR, GB, and CA, detect the boundary of objects as the most salient like their performance on the BRUCE dataset.
The purpose of this article is to investigate the functions of design process outputs (such as design briefs, scale models, visualizations, animations) as boundary objects in the implementation of novel agricultural production system concepts.
Content analysis (Hsieh and Shannon 2005) was used to create a typology of modalities of university-industry interaction, which were acknowledged as boundary objects in the study.
Deeper in the concept of boundary objects is the notion that the object itself interacts with the community boundaries to reduce or reinforce that boundary (Lee 2005).
Advantages of SPH for such modelling include automatic representation of the free surface flow behaviour due to the Lagrangian nature of the method, and the ability to incorporate complex and dynamic boundary objects such as gate structures or debris.
With this in mind, we predict that boundary objects such as visual logic models will not just accommodate different positions from diverse emergency management stakeholders.
On the basis of an in-depth case study, this paper shows that the way in which relatively simple artifacts, such as Excel workbooks, represent knowledge enables them to act as boundary objects across occupations and as memory devices across projects.
