Cross-disciplinary collaboration platform for solution of various social problems

3. Why Cross-disciplinary collaboration?
　Global Warming: Prediction→Mitigation→Adaptation
“the heaviest rain ever”・・・Destabilization of weather has become sensible?
Past experiences are not enough to prevent disasters; Society needs observations and simulations, but they have limitations.
“Sustainable Society” and “Resilient Society”
・ “Inter-disciplinary” and “Trans-disciplinary”
Inter-disciplinary Collaboration
(Domain scientists, Data providers, IT scientists……)
Trans-disciplinary Collaboration
（Government, Non-profits, Private Companies, Communities）

4. Cross-disciplinary Collaboration Platform：ubiDIAS
(ubiquitous: anytime, anywhere, anybody + DIAS）
For Collaboration, Communication, Sharing Data & Tools, User support

5. Difficulty in Cross-disciplinary Collaboration
Difficulties
ubiDIAS functions
Information disseminate
Difficulty on getting Information from other projects or communities.
Common communication and data sharing platform by DIAS common account.
Research Achievements of researchers of various fields
Connecting research achievements of JST Researchmap
Cumbersome maintain of address, Mailing-lists.
Easy management of Group Members (OpenPNE)
Uncertainly of Mail transmission,
Cumbersome ordering s.
Ordering posts in each group topics
Digest mail for new topics or events
Data sharing
Limitation of attached file size.
Cumbersome using file forwarding service.
512KB file can be uploaded
Time consuming work with collaborators, Concern for Google Drive
Remote concurrent edition for text only (EtherPad-Lite )
Cumbersome ordering shared information.
Easy manual by ordering topics at group top
Meeting
Difficulty of scheduling many busy members.
Single sign-on from Group board , Scheduler to Web meeting.
There are organizations which prohibits TV meeting system or Skype.
Open source web meeting system equivalent of WebEx (OpenMeetings)
Edition
Cumbersome comment collection by mail attached files. Concern for Google Drive
Remote concurrent edition which manage editors and edit history for text only (EtherPad-Lite ) on domestic server.

6. What is advantage? What is lacking? Open source code testbed
Domestic server
Social issue oriented
What is lacking?
Small size of DIAS common accounts now.
Researcher’s information is not enough. JST Researchmap registrants are still very small number.
Lack of Incentive for achievement dissemination for public by ubiDIAS due to close system. Linkage with open system is required.
Inter-Group or Group-person meeting function.
