Socio - Technical Systems
Computer systems have long been seen as more than just mechanical systems (Boulding, 1956). They seem to be systems in a general sense (Churchman, 1979), with system elements, like a boundary, common to other systems (Whitworth & Zaic, 2003). A computer system of chips and circuits is also a software system of information exchanges. Today, the system is also the human-computer combination (Alte...
متن کاملDo socio-technical systems cognise?
The view that an agent’s cognitive processes sometimes include proper parts found outside the skin and skull of the agent is gaining increasing acceptance in philosophy of mind. One main empirical touchstone for this so-called active externalism is Edwin Hutchins’ theory of distributed cognition (DCog). However, the connection between DCog and active externalism is far from clear. While active ...
متن کاملPreface to Part I Complex Systems
The world is increasingly moving towards a complex web of systems. The reductionist scientific paradigm of studying closely one part at a time is not sufficient enough to understand structural and functional features of these systems. The field of complex systems focuses on interactions and functions between parts that lead to the emergence of new order and coherence which is only evident in th...
متن کاملPutting the technical back into socio-technical systems research
Socio-technical systems (STS) analysis has provided us with a powerful framework with which to analyse the reasons behind the poor acceptability, uptake and performance of many information or communication technology systems (ICT). However, for the contribution of STS thinking to be more than simply a means of critiquing current practices and ICT systems, it needs to also contribute to the proc...
متن کاملMultiagent Socio-Technical Systems: An Ontological Approach
Socio-technical systems constitute a challenge for multiagent systems as they are complex scenarios in which human and artificial agents share information, interact and make decisions. For example, the design of an airport requires to interface information coming from automatic apparatuses as security cameras, conceptual information coming from agents, and normative information which agents’ be...
