Objectives CooSpace as a real application - used in the CAENTI project -

was built on the basis of theoretical conclusions.

• El CooSpace como uso verdadero - usado en el proyecto de CAENTI - fue construido en base de conclusiones teóricas.

Theoretical approach of this e-tool:

PTC Participation Theory of Communication

Understanding e-tools

CooSpace

Culture - communication• Many aspects involved in culture, society and

communication.• Culture difficult to express. (Clifford Geertz ,1973)• Culture is a kind of knowledge that we use in

communication. (Habermas, 1981)

• Sobre cultura, sociedad y la comunicación hay muchos aspecto

• Cultura difíciles de expresar. (Clifford Geertz, 1973) • Culturas son una clase de conocimiento que utilizamos

en la comunicación. (Habermas, 1981)

CommunicationThe way of understanding the objects’ behaviour as a

potential ability to recognize and/or solve problems with the help of symbols (or signs).

La manera de entender el comportamiento de los objetos como capacidad potencial de reconocer y/o de solucionar problemas con la ayuda de símbolos (o de muestras).

Page 5: Theoretical Approach of Network Communication and Collaboration in Research, Peter ACS

Agents - patterns• Objects – understood as problem solvers - are agents.• While other patterns are recognized as symbols (or signs) or raw-

patterns.• Patterns are differences in time and/or space accessible via

modalities of perceptions.

• Los objetos - entendidos como solver del problema - son agentes.

• Mientras que otros patrones se reconocen como símbolos (o muestras) o crudo-patrones.

• Los patrones son differnces en el tiempo y/o el espacio accesibles vía modalidades de opiniones

Communication• Communication rooted in the need of the agents to

recognize and/or to solve problems. • The problem of the agents is a difference between the

desired and therefore aimed state and the current state.

• La comunicación arraigó en la necesidad de los agentes de reconocer y/o de solucionar problemas.

• El problema de los agentes es diferencia entre el estado deseado y por lo tanto estado dirigido y el estado actual.

Page 7: Theoretical Approach of Network Communication and Collaboration in Research, Peter ACS

Communio• The basis of understanding patterns as symbols is

common knowledge.• The agents are participating in this communio.

– Participation Theory of Communication (PTC) (Horányi, 1999)

• La base de motivos que entienden como símbolos es conocimiento común.

• Los agentes están participando en este communio– Participation Theory of Communication (PTC)

(Horányi, 1999)

Conditional aspect• Communication is not something that can be

recognized as a force, as a process, or as an architectural or structural phenomenon that is independent of the supposition of an agent with teleological goals and with abilities to handle patterns.

• La comunicación no es algo que se puede reconocer como fuerza, como proceso, o como fenómeno arquitectónico o estructural que sea independiente de la suposición de un agente con metas teleological y con capacidades de manejar motivos.

Types of agents• The agent as an assumption of willing power is not just

a possible description of humans• We can have collective-, fictive-, mimetic or virtual

agent concept

• El agente como asunción de la fuerza voluntad libre no es justo una descripción posible de seres humanos.

• Podemos tener concepto colectivo -, fictive -, mimetic o virtual del agente.

Page 10: Theoretical Approach of Network Communication and Collaboration in Research, Peter ACS

Computer as agent• The dreams from the 60’s showed computers as a robot (human-

like behaviour) • (Lots of research about an artificial intelligence)• Virtual agent concept: We know it is not “real” but we want to

apply the agent concept

• Los sueños a partir de los años 60 demostraron las computadoras como robot. (Hombre-como el comportamiento)

• (Porciones de investigación sobre una inteligencia artificial.)

• Concepto del agente virtual: Sabemos que no es un "verdadero" pero deseamos aplicar el concepto del agente

Page 11: Theoretical Approach of Network Communication and Collaboration in Research, Peter ACS

Computers as communication devices

• Most of the popular usage of computers and networks today are not like virtual agents.

• La mayoría del uso popular de computadoras y de redes no es hoy como agnet virtual.

• MSN, E-mail, Web, Skype, ....

E-mail is popular• Len Kleinrock, professor of computer science at UCLA,

former director of ARPAnet Network Measurement Center says:

"...As soon as e-mail came on, it took over the network. We said, 'Wow, that's interesting.' We should have noticed there was something going on here. There was a social phenomenon that was happening."

(Segaller, 1998, 105)

Page 13: Theoretical Approach of Network Communication and Collaboration in Research, Peter ACS

Communication devices• The patterns could be fixed for the future, transformed in space

and amplified to overcome the limitations of perception. • These architectures created for modification of accessibility of

patterns are communication devices.

• Los motivos podían ser fijos para el futuro, transformaron en espacio y amplificaron para superar las limitaciones de la opinión.

• Estas arquitecturas creadas para la modificación de la accesibilidad de motivos son instrumento de la comunicación.

Page 14: Theoretical Approach of Network Communication and Collaboration in Research, Peter ACS

Application as device• Computer network is not a communication device. The

computer has a relatively free universal functionality. • Network (e.g. Internet) + application = communication

device

• La red de ordenadores no es un instrumento de la comunicación. Las computadoras tienen una funcionalidad universal relativamente libre.

• Red (e.g. Internet) + applicacion = instrumento de la comunicación

Page 15: Theoretical Approach of Network Communication and Collaboration in Research, Peter ACS

15

Use of communication device• Use of communication device depends on how the agents

understand it.– Knowledge about the structure how the patterns are

transformed, fixed or amplified via the device – Knowledge about pattern accessibility control mechanisms of

the device.

• El uso del dispositivo de la instrumento de la comunicación de cómo los agentes lo entienden. – Conocimiento sobre la estructura cómo se transforman los

patrones, fijado o amplificado vía el instrumento. – Conocimiento sobre los mecanismos del control de la

accesibilidad del motivo

Understanding pattern as signWritten text is one of the most important classes of

symbols.• The question of meaning:

– Meaning of words, sentences (Carnap)– Meaning of proposition (Quine)

El texto escrito es uno de la clase más importante de símbolos.

• La cuestión del significado: – Significado de las palabras, oraciones. (Carnap)– Significado del propozicion. (Quine)

CooSpaceBasic structures:

There are scenes to represent the context of information accessible

Estructuras básicas: Hay escenas para representar el contexto de la información accesible

Scene

ssssss

context

Page 18: Theoretical Approach of Network Communication and Collaboration in Research, Peter ACS

18

Scene - context• The sentences can be read as proposition

- The scene gives a context- Persons can be identified

• Las oraciones se pueden leer como propozicion. - la elasticidad de la escena un contexto - las personas pueden ser identificadas

Scene

Tools in coospce• CooSpace – not a single tool (device), it is collection of tools

(devices):• CooSpace - no una solo instrumento, es colección de los

instrumentos:

– Forum– Bulletin-board– Tasks– Meeting administration– Documents (Simple file, web content, or SCORM)– Picture gallery– CooStorage (Virtual USB-key)– …..

Page 20: Theoretical Approach of Network Communication and Collaboration in Research, Peter ACS

Understanding and use of tools • There are several levels of understanding tools

– to know the existence of a tool– to know the way of using it in solving problems

• Experience is important

• Hay varios niveles de instrumentos que entienden. – Para saber la existencia de uno instrumento. – Para saber la manera de usarla en solucionar

problemas. • La experiencia es importante.
