Communcation
This document discusses communication in organizations. It defines communication as the exchange of information between a sender and receiver. The key components of the communication process are ideating, encoding, transmitting, receiving, decoding, and acting. There are various barriers to effective communication such as differences in frames of reference, filtering, information overload, and semantics. These barriers can be overcome through techniques like empathy, understanding, feedback, and active listening. The document also covers non-verbal communication cues, direction of communication flows, communication networks, and the importance of communication for structuring organizations and linking individuals, groups, and the organization as a whole.
Interactive Potential Of Web 2.0
This document discusses conceptualizing Web 2.0 from a social perspective rather than a technological one. It argues that users play a more active role in producing Web 2.0 than the underlying technology implies. To understand this, it proposes looking at Web 2.0 through the lens of affordance theory and as a "container technology" that allows users to realize interactive potential through contextualized use. Taking this approach views Web 2.0 as configurations of social, spatial and temporal relationships defined by users, rather than technological rules.
Barnlund Transactional Model
Barnlund's transactional model of communication was proposed in 1970 and presents a multi-layered feedback system where anyone can be a sender and receiver. It includes both verbal and non-verbal layers of feedback and is considered the most systematic of the functional models. The model accounts for public cues, private cues, behavioral cues, filters, noise and feedback in the communication process between sender and receiver.
Nethood Aesop09 Liverpool
This document discusses planning and design practice in virtual spaces such as online communities. It argues that online spaces have emerged as places with communities and identities, similarly to physical places. It suggests that planning methods used for physical spaces, such as Lynch's taxonomy of images and cognitive mapping, can also be applied to virtual spaces. The document advocates for planners to get involved in designing user interfaces, evaluating online place quality, and supporting hybrid online-physical communities through social software design.
Blended Spaces, Cross-Channel Ecosystems, and the Myth That Is Service - Bert...
The document discusses the shift from traditional service design to designing cross-channel experiences and ecosystems. It argues that with the blending of digital and physical spaces, experiences can no longer be bounded or controlled by a single organization. Experiences emerge from actors freely combining independent channels and services across contexts. This creates a complexity that requires a systemic approach where the designer intervenes to broker opportunities rather than design finite artifacts. The focus shifts from services to actor-driven experiences occurring in blended spaces articulated through diverse choices across a dynamic multi-channel ecosystem.
Communication
Communication is the process of expressing and exchanging information, thoughts, feelings and ideas. There are three models of communication: the linear model which is a straight path of relaying information; the interactive model which takes into consideration feedback from the receiver; and the transactional model which shows communication as occurring continuously and simultaneously between people.

This document summarizes an autoethnographic study on long-distance romantic relationships mediated through video chat applications. It discusses how advances in technology like broadband internet and video chatting have impacted intimacy in long-distance relationships by resolving issues of temporal distance through synchronous communication. While spatial distance remains, technologies have made intimacy and togetherness possible across geographic barriers. The document also examines concepts like cyberintimacy, embodiment in virtual spaces, and how identities are constructed in online contexts.
Ob communication
This document discusses communication and its key aspects. It defines communication as the transfer of information from one person to another through transmitting ideas, thoughts, and values. The communication process involves a sender encoding a message and transmitting it through a channel to a receiver who decodes the message. There are different types of communication models, including the transactional process model which shows the back-and-forth interaction between a sender and receiver. Effective communication can be impacted by barriers related to the sender, receiver, or the situation.

Optimizing interconnectivity inhabiting virtual cities of common practice
This document discusses the design of online social environments and virtual communities. It argues that online spaces should be designed as social technologies that facilitate human interaction, rather than just as tools for sharing information. The author proposes using the city as a metaphor to think about designing virtual spaces, and discusses how identity formation works differently online compared to in-person due to the lack of physical cues. The document outlines the author's thesis, which develops approaches for creating online spaces that better support social interaction and the communication of identity through visualization tools and information architectures.

Cyril MASSELOT: Information, communication and territorial intelligence, new ...Territorial Intelligence
Information, communication, and territorial intelligence present new challenges. These changes are considered processes that produce individual and collective meanings as people, groups, and societies build relationships with complex realities. Approaches that consider cultural, cognitive, socioeconomic, and environmental changes affecting territories, identities, messages, and activities are informative and allow for communication and participation. This leads to active, participatory co-construction of policies rather than just descriptive or analytical approaches. Information and communication can help promote sustainable development by allowing actors to meet, share, and co-construct meanings around issues.David McKenzie, Darwin Muljono and Elizabeth B.-N.

Conole keynote paper
This document provides an overview of digital identity and presence in social media. It discusses how digital identity emerges from our interactions online and is shaped by the digital environment. Our identity is fragmented across different social media platforms, where we connect with networks of people and leave digital traces of our interactions. It also introduces several theoretical frameworks for understanding digital interactions, such as the notion of digital performance, rhizomatic digital networks, and the digital panopticon of visible online activities.
Responsive Environments - Critical report
This document is a critical report by Maria Gomez for her MA in Digital Media at London Metropolitan University. The report discusses Mood Mixer, an interactive installation created by Gomez that allows users to create music by selecting different moods. Gomez analyzes Mood Mixer through communication and interactivity theories. She compares it to other projects like Reactable and We Feel Fine that also engage users to actively generate content. While definitions of interactivity vary, Gomez argues it is evolving to demand higher levels of user participation and collaboration as technology advances.

Abstract: We present ongoing research concerning to understand interaction context, its elements and factors emerging during HCI. This paper describes the components during HCI; we analyzed a case study an interactive exhibition in a museum where children are immersed on interaction context. Therefore, in this paper we studied the process of users’ interaction based on user-exhibition interactivity. It gives a general idea, in order to understand how immersed elements can change people’s way interaction negatively or positively.
EDRD *6000 Netnography & eFieldnotes
This document presents an overview of netnography, the use of eFieldnotes for data collection, and ethical considerations for digital research. Netnography is defined as an adapted form of ethnography for studying computer-mediated social worlds. Key aspects of netnography include reflexivity, praxis, resonance, verisimilitude, and rigor. eFieldnotes are a method for qualitative data collection that combines notes from social media with standard fieldnotes. As researchers encounter participants online, the boundaries between field and home blur. Finally, ethical issues in digital research include informed consent, participant identification and anonymity, and how power dynamics may shift with participants able to respond to research findings.
Participatory re-action: reflecting on a Design-Based Research approach in ICT4D
The document discusses Design-Based Research (DBR) as an emerging methodology for studying learning through the design and evaluation of instructional tools and strategies in real-world contexts. DBR is characterized by iterative design, collaboration, flexibility, and mixed methods evaluations. The RE-ACT project applied DBR to study community media centers (CMCs) in Mozambique by examining social representations of the centers, co-designing improvement actions with local stakeholders, and conducting formative evaluations of the actions based on social representations. The project aims to better understand how design-based activities can translate to impactful local development and facilitate community members' role in leading their own improvement actions.

A case study analysis on digital convergent design: Skynet Platform
This document presents the results of a case study analysis on the SkyNet digital convergent design platform. The study employed structured interviews to survey people's attitudes, perceptions, and behaviors regarding convergent services. Key findings include:
1) Participants were most likely to engage with interactive TV features directly related to enhancing TV content experience, such as getting additional information about shows.
2) Internet-based interactive services saw less usage, suggesting people view TV as primarily for passive viewing.
3) Exposure to interactive features through devices like Sky+ boxes increased likelihood of using interactivity.
4) Constraints like slow performance or disrupting the TV experience reduced openness to interactivity. Participants preferred features that

Hostility in virtual communities
This document summarizes research on a large Finnish virtual community called BAP (Baby and Pregnancy community) and discusses factors that attract people to virtual communities and how hostility affects them. The researchers conducted a case study of BAP using narratives, interviews and observation. They found that BAP meets members' needs for interest, relationships, fantasy and transactions. It attracts a large member base by meeting multiple needs simultaneously. The researchers also suggest that occasional hostility among members may be natural and acceptable in emotionally-oriented interactions like BAP. From the organizers' perspective, some level of hostility may increase the community's "street credibility" and perceived genuineness.
The CyberCafé - Informal Communication in an Online Course
The document summarizes a study on social presence in online learning environments. It discusses two pitfalls in online education: assuming social interaction will automatically occur and restricting social interaction only to task-related situations. The study examines "CyberCafes" designed to promote informal, off-task social interaction. Indicators of social presence like affective, interactive, and cohesive indicators were measured in CyberCafes and courses. Results showed affective indicators were present in both formal and informal contexts, and did not follow an expected temporal pattern of increasing over time to compensate for the online medium's limitations. More collaborative courses showed more social presence indicators. The study questions how a CyberCafe may affect social climate and collaboration.

Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software Fuzzing
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.

The Interaction Order of Second Life
- 1. The Interaction Order of Second Life Eryn Grant, Queensland University of Technology Referred paper presentation at the Australian Sociological Association Annual conference, Canberra Dec 1-4, 2009.
- 7. The problem of interaction in Second Life? The conversations in Second Life were extremely difficult to follow. They did not conform to any “normal” rules. They were not simple conversational patterns.
- 9. So you get conversations that look like this….. Its all a bit messy and hard to follow, unless you’re actually there. Then its pretty easy. So how do the participants manage to make sense of these interactions?
