📢👥 We're thrilled to continue our IISE Conference coverage by shining the spotlight on Francisco's remarkable research on effective communication in virtual engineering project teams! 🌐💬
🗣️ Francisco's paper titled "Exploring the Role of Teamwork Skills and Conflict in Virtual Teams: Implications for Communication" delves into the crucial role of communication in virtual teams and the specific skills and barriers that impact team effectiveness. 💪🌍
🔍 In his abstract, Francisco highlights the challenges posed by remote settings and the importance of effective communication in virtual teams.
"Communication is a critical process that facilitates team members’ coordination, expertise exchange, decision-making, and, consequently, team effectiveness. A focus on effective communication is critical in virtual teams due to their lack of face-to-face interactions and social presence. Communication becomes challenging in remote settings, and specific skills emerge as more essential to success. It is known that effective teams rely on planning, ex*****on, and interpersonal skills to be successful. Still, the specific impact of these skills on virtual team effectiveness is not well understood. Additionally, conflict can emerge as a significant barrier to collaboration for remote teams that can hinder their communication. This paper examines the role of teamwork skills and emergent conflict as predictors of the frequency of communication in virtual engineering project teams. Previously validated measures were used to assess teamwork skills and emergent conflict in a sample of virtual teams. The sample included 101 graduate engineering students working in 32 fully virtual project teams of size 3-4 to complete a semester project on systems analysis and design. Results indicate that skills associated with mission analysis and strategy formulation were the strongest predictors of the frequency of communication, while relationship conflict was associated with low levels of communication. These findings are relevant to organizations that rely on virtual team-based structures by identifying critical levers and barriers to team communication. These findings can be used to identify targets for virtual team training, including a focus on strategic planning and mission analysis, as well as conflict management strategies to prevent and resolve relationship conflict in virtual settings."

🌟 Let's applaud Francisco for his valuable contributions in understanding the dynamics of virtual teamwork and the critical factors that shape successful communication. His work opens avenues for organizations to optimize virtual team structures and implement targeted training strategies for enhanced collaboration and conflict resolution. 🙌💡
📢👥 Big news from the IISE Conference! 🎉 Join us in recognizing the remarkable work of Arman, whose paper presentation left a lasting impact. 📚✨
🎙️ Arman's session titled "Improving Predictive Performance in ICU Heart Surgery: A Feature Selection Study" was nothing short of extraordinary. His research focuses on the importance of accurate clinical outcome prediction to enhance surgical success rates and reduce costs. 🏥💡
🔬 In his abstract, Arman explores the significance of supervised feature selection methods in a highly imbalanced medical dataset.
"Better prediction of clinical outcomes can help reduce costs and improve the success rate of surgery. Identifying the essential features from a medical dataset to conduct machine learning analysis could be crucial to achieving better prediction performance. This research compares the performance of several supervised feature selection methods in a highly imbalanced dataset to predict mortality in patients undergoing ICU heart surgery. Feature selection is the process of reducing the number of input variables when developing a predictive model, which is an ensemble stacking ML model in this research. This approach is desirable to reduce the computational cost of modeling and, in some cases, improve the model's performance by providing an appropriate subset of features as input for ML models. Data sets used to predict mortality in heart surgery patients are very unbalanced, which can lead to model overfitting. To address this problem, we propose a combination of resampling methods to improve the prediction performance of the minority and majority classes using a large dataset. Data were collected from the hospitals related to Shahid Beheshti University of Medical Sciences and Health Services in Iran between 2015 and 2020 during and after a heart surgery (recovery) process for hospitalized patients. Initial results show that each Wrapper, Filter, and Embedded feature selection methods select a different essential subset of features. This research compares their effect on a stacking ensemble ML model to select the most efficient subset of features to achieve better mortality prediction performance."

🌟 Let's applaud Arman for his exceptional contributions to the field of healthcare and data analysis. His dedication to advancing predictive capabilities in ICU heart surgery is inspiring. 🙌✨
