Title: | Amdahl's law and scientific collaboration | Authors: | EGGHE, Leo ROUSSEAU, Ronald |
Issue Date: | 1996 | Source: | The international journal of scientometrics and informetrics, 2(1). p. 41-48 | Abstract: | We apply some of the ideas underlying Amdahl's law - a result which is well known in computer science - and derive results on the effectiveness of scientific collaboration. We propose a simplified model and concentrate on two aspects of scientific collaboration, namely speed and quality. We find formulae describing the gain and the relative gain in time when collaborating on a scientific project. Similarly we propose a formula expressing the gain in quality when a scientific project is done in collaboration. | Document URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/1942/5607 | Type: | Journal Contribution |
