Collaboration:
- Collaboration is nothing, but group of people working together.
- To achieve common objective
- Trust each other in the team
- Clarifies the roles
- In this process, people spend time on discussions so as to accomplish the task as a team and set team to achieve the common goal.
- Helps team to,
- Analyze
- Construct knowledge
- Collectively solving the issues.
- For collaborative team to be successful, members must provide and receive critical feedback.
Explanation of Solution
Team collaboration:
Collaborative work is being promoted in both inter and intra organization aspects. Team works in a collaborative manner only when knowledge is shared among the team members and the tools are shared among them.
“Yes”, my team worked in a collaborative manner as the given resources were shared among the team members and they shared their knowledge with each other so as to support the progress of project and the team respectively and team members even encouraged critical feedback.
Two key characteristics of collaboration:
During collaborative work, if one of the team members has produced a document, then in the next step, other team members review the document and then a critical feedback is given.
- Now, the feedback is taken into consideration and the first version of the document is modified accordingly.
- Then the second version of the document is produced which is then reviewed again by other team members and again based on the feedback the document is revised, this process is called iteration, which is done until the best result is produced.
- This shows that iteration and feedback are required in a team to get the best outcome.
“Yes”, feedback and iteration were involved to produce the effective versions of the document required for the project.
- When the first version of the project document was prepared then it was sent for the revision, where the document was modified and the second version was produced, based on the feedback of the members, this cycle was continued until the best version was derived.
- This way both feedback and iteration was used in our project.
Collaborative
In our team, the members were assigned with some tasks as per the task list made by the members.
- As it is known that if a member is responsible for some task, it means he should take care that the task is completed within the assigned time and with the help of other team members in a collaborative manner.
- When it is necessary to complete a task, then generally the team members focus on sharing the knowledge and information they have regarding the particular aspect of the project with other team members, so that the task has a successful outcome.
If collaborative information systems are not used:
Without the use of collaborative information systems, the best version of the document cannot be derived as there will not be any steps like feedback and iteration.
- The individuals cannot expand their knowledge by sharing the knowledge of each individual, as it is only supported in collaborative information system.
- The task can be completed quickly and within the specified time as the task will be divided and all the members will work collectively to complete the give task.
- Collaborative information system also helps members to improve their decision-making skills, leadership qualities, and skills to work in team while cooperating with other team members.
If collaborative information systems are used:
With the use of collaborative information system, team members can widen their scope of knowledge and by working on a project together, the team may derive the best outcome, as there will be feedback and iteration.
- The skills like decision making, leadership, and working in a team without any disputes with the members, which an individual can acquire while working in a collaborative manner can be improved.
- The project is not a success until the time it is delivered within the given time, so with the help of collaborative information system, the task can be completed within the given time

The good news is that management approved the payroll system project this morning. The new system will reduce clerical time and errors, improve morale in the payroll department, and avoid possible fines and penalties for noncompliance. The bad news is that the system must be installed by January 1st in order to meet new federal reporting rules, all expenses from now on must be approved in advance, the system should have a modular design if possible, and the vice president of finance would like to announce the new system in a year-end report if it is ready by mid-December."

Signed Integers Unsigned binary numbers work for natural numbers, but many calculations use negative numbers as well. To deal with this, a number of different methods have been used to represent signed numbers, but we will focus on two's complement, as it is the standard solution for representing signed integers. 2.1 Two's complement • Most significant bit has a negative value, all others are positive. So, the value of an n-digit -2 two's complement number can be written as: Σ2 2¹ di 2n-1 dn • Otherwise exactly the same as unsigned integers. i=0 - • A neat trick for flipping the sign of a two's complement number: flip all the bits (0 becomes 1, or 1 becomes 0) and then add 1 to the least significant bit. • Addition is exactly the same as with an unsigned number. 2.2 Exercises For questions 1-3, answer each one for the case of a two's complement number and an unsigned number, indicating if it cannot be answered with a specific representation. 1.
