Activity centered workshop protocol was designed and conducted. The workshop named "A Hundred Hour Workshop" for graduate students was carried out during summer holidays by some of the steering committee members and research assistants of the real world information systems project in the 21 COE program "Information Science and Technology Strategic Core" at the Graduate School of Information Science and Technology of the University of Tokyo. The committee configured the deadline and called for collaborative project proposal to the workshop. The intended applicants were the groups of graduate students who belong to different labs of different departments of the graduate school of information science and technology and graduate school of engineering. The committee provided research funding about a thousand dollar per one team, which mostly equals to the salary of the teaching assistant for a hundred hour in the university. Therefore, we named the workshop, "A Hundred Hour Workshop". The participants have to develop cross-disciplinary technology which demonstrates the information system in the near future based on their proposals. They have responsibilities and obligations to show their results at the final presentation.

The application period was 15 days after the orientation. The orientation was on July 22, and the application period was from July 25 to August 8. The kickoff session was the next day of the application deadline. The development period started on the next day of the kickoff and lasted for 52 days. The kickoff session was on August 9, and the demonstration session was on September 30. On November 4, debrief session was held in order to show the successful systems which were developed during the workshop. For more information, please see the 'Workshop'->'Sessions' subsection in the Main Menu on the left.

The community site named WS100H.NET was developed for supporting the autonomous collaboration process of the workshop. We expected accumulation of empirical knowledge which usually remains inside the participants. The site is based on one of the typical contents management system called XOOPS. XOOPS is a program that allows administrators to easily create dynamic websites with great content and many outstanding features. It is an ideal tool for developing small to large dynamic community websites, intra company portals, corporate portals, weblogs. XOOPS uses a relational database (MySQL) to store data required for running a web-based content management system. Modules can be installed / uninstalled / activated / deactivated with a click using the XOOPS module administration system. We installed the following modules to the Japanese version of this website: forum, album, calendar, news, link, download, wiki, FAQ, and questionnaire. This English version was developed after the workshop for sharing the knowledge. On this English version, the following modules are installed: contents, event guide, album, news, link, and contact. The progress of the workshop was recorded on time, and developed technologies and minutes are edited and published after the workshop.
