RBC (Role-Based Collaboration) is a methodology that uses the E-CARGO (Environments - Classes, Agents, Roles, Groups, and Objects) model to analyze, design, manage, and maintain complex systems. RBC focuses on the nature of collaboration and how roles play a crucial part in it. RBC makes complex collaboration operable, manageable, controllable, and evaluable by providing a way to specify, master, and apply roles in the system. RBC provides a highly abstract vision for the collective behaviors of people and societies and leads the investigation of team intelligence other than AI concentrating on individual intelligence. RBC establishes a solid foundation for the development of collaboration science and makes computational decision-making in collaboration a reality through its symbols, models, constraints, and optimization objectives. RBC helps to formalize and solve many practical problems in collaboration and social systems using a more effective way than conventional game theory.
