Global Collaborative Network

Introduction 

According to Camarinha-Matos, & Afsarmanesh, (2006) a collaborative network can be said to be a network which entails several entities which are not only geographically distributed and autonomous but also heterogeneous with respect to the environment they are operating in. Thus, in light of this, there is need to have a distributive team because communication of the entire team may occur face to face sometimes but in reality, a lot of work will be accomplished when the team members are not in the same geographical area. As such, by using the ‘computer database resources of papers in information technology communication and geography”, as stated by Blake, Hamilton, & Hoyt, (2002) , this will enable to create a collaborative network of the distributed teams working in airport constructions taking place in the third world countries. Consequently, the main reason or choosing these papers is due to the fact that they give adequate properties which are crucial in developing an efficient model for a global network. 

The focus of this paper is to develop a model supporting a globally distributed team which is engaged in the construction of airports in the third world countries. According to an observation made by (Blake, Hamilton, & Hoyt, 2002) in most cases the third world countries seem to have very low stock due to poor infrastructure capabilities more so in the information technology and also transportation which are areas that have not been fully harnessed. As such, a lot of emphases is not placed on the air transportation making these countries not to understand the importance of this means of transportation. With this regards, it is vital for the construction of airports in these countries that are not well exploited to be enhanced so as to improve the global connectivity. In turn, this improves the global reach, and many people are able to expand their business, skills as well as knowledge (Eckstein, 2013) . Notably, the airport facilities ought to be enhanced through physical construction and most importantly through the way the teams are managed in their different geographical places. Hence this makes it crucial for the communication systems to be improved in the overall distributive team in third world countries to acquire better results. 

Using computer database resources, information such as that obtained using a GSI can be harnessed and used in developing the construction of the airports in third world countries. Notably, the GSI also known as the Geographical Information Systems is a software which enables one to get vital information on physical locations on the ground (Bentes, Heleno, & Slama, 2013) . This can come in a firm of a 3D art in a computer system which can help map the region where an airport can be constructed. As such, this helps to disseminate crucial information to various team members on the ground to enable them to know how they are supposed to work and which areas are favourable as well as which areas are not. 

In addition to this, computer database can help one to acquire information which is stored in software and thus make it easy for a team to work efficiently during the construction of airports in third world countries (Camarinha-Matos, & Afsarmanesh, 2006) . For instance, they may develop interoperable architecture in the airports. Ideally, interoperable means constructing a devise in a manner that makes it able to draw from similar collaborative services. As such, this would mean that the flow of information among the team would be efficient and this would increase their collaboration. As a result, therefore, this would lead to improved services of the airport in the third world countries. More so, they would be able to recognize the importance that comes with having efficient transport systems which have not yet been realized in most of these countries. 

Subsequently, to improve the communication and integration of information technologies which would help create an effective distributive team operating in the airport construction of third world countries, there are several requirements that would help shape this networking. First, a data administrator would be employed to bring in his expertise to control the flow of the data. This is because the data will be flowing to a team that is not in the same geographical place. As such, this call for having an administrator to foresee that none of the information’s mishandled or lost. Secondly, as noted by Blake, Hamilton, & Hoyt, (2002) , there ought to be an operating system installed already in the airports which have the capability of performing various operations. The operations systems can run using the help of quires, and this would help in managing crucial information through the aid of software installed. 

To help attain an effective distributive team in the third world countries, a database management system would be an effective approach. Basically, a database management system also abbreviated as a DBMS is a software that is fed into computers. Its primary function is mainly to enable the user to “create, retrieve, update and also manage data” as noted by Blake, Hamilton, & Hoyt, (2002). Thus, the system helps to create and manage the database, in this case, of the files relating to airport construction. Consequently, this makes data management not only effective but also efficient. A lot of information is stored herein, and this prevents crucial information from being mismanaged as well as being lost. Generally, this makes the overall cost of constructing the airports in these third world countries to be reduced. 

The use of DBSM approach is vital in creating a collaborative network that supports a globally distributed team engaged in airport construction since all necessary data is concentrated in one software and is easy to retrieve. As such, all the employees are able to access the data regardless of where they are provided that the data is fed into the software. The database contains various entities, attributes as well as relationships. The entities and attributes entail information such as the airport name and city, employee’s details, for instance, their age, the passenger’s details, ticket information such as its number as well as the flight time. The data contained therein then becomes integrated into each other. Another additional benefit of the DBMS is that the data can be well secured by using the DBSM. As such, this approach becomes effective in creating an effective global distributive team as they are able to work smoothly using the system. 

Conclusion 

In conclusion, we can affirm that global connective networks are crucial in creating an effective distributive team, especially one engaged in the construction of airports in third world countries. A distributive team, in this case, is one which is situated at various geographical locations making it harder for them to communicate face to face (Eckstein, 2013) . However, as developed in this paper, a collaborative model can be designed to ensure that they are working efficiently and effectively. This paper centers its research on information technology, communication as well as geography. Using these computer data resources is proved to be effective in creating an effective distributive team. Notably, most airports in third world countries lack resources to expand their infrastructure capabilities. As such, this essay proposes the use of database management systems in the airports. These systems are not only efficient but also reduce the overall costs. They also help to store a lot of information that is crucial and can be communicated from one team to another irrespective of the geographical distance. As a result, this helps to create a global networking system to help support a distributed team.
