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 کاملManaging Socio-technical Interactions in Healthcare Systems
We put forward an architectural framework that promotes the externalisation of the social dimension that arises in software-intensive systems which, like in healthcare, exhibit interactions between humans (social components) and technical components (devices, computer-based systems, and so on) that are critical for the domain in which they operate. Our framework is based on a new class of archi...
متن کاملData Accountability in Socio-Technical Systems
Data-accountability encompasses responsibility for data and the traceability of data flows. This is becoming increasingly important for Socio-Technical Systems (STS). Determining root causes for unwanted events after their occurrence is often not possible, e.g. because of missing logs. A better traceability of root causes can be supported by the integration of accountability mechanisms at desig...
متن کاملPrivacy Policies Considerations in Socio-Technical Systems
The idea of a socio-technical system (STS) is an intellectual tool to help recognize patterns in the way technology is used and produced. Identification of these patterns will help in analyzing the ethical issues associated with the technology-and-its-social-system [1]. By way of example, consider a relatively simple technology: a set of twenty laptops connected by a local area network. The soc...
