Constructing Common Information Spaces

چکیده
This paper investigates an important, yet under-researched topic in CSCW, namely shared, or common, information spaces. We provide some background to work in the area, and then proceed to examine features of such spaces. The work involved in both putting information in common, and in interpreting it, has often not been sufficiently recognized. Through a number of situations we discuss the influence of particular conditions, and the translations required. We show how, in various ways, it requires added work to place items in common, and open up the question of how this might affect use of the WWW, often seen as the ultimate common information space.

NEW METHODS FOR CONSTRUCTING GENERALIZED GROUPS, TOPOLOGICAL GENERALIZED GROUPS, AND TOP SPACES
The purpose of this paper is to introduce new methods for constructing generalized groups, generalized topological groups and top spaces. We study some properties of these structures and present some relative concrete examples. Moreover, we obtain generalized groups by using of Hilbert spaces and tangent spaces of Lie groups, separately.
متن کاملApproximating common fixed points of Presić-Kannan type operators by a multi-step iterative method
The existence of coincidence points and common fixed points for operators satisfying a Presić-Kannan type contraction condition in a metric spaces setting is proved. A multi-step iterative method for constructing the common fixed points is also provided.
متن کاملOn an atomic decomposition in Banach spaces
An atomic decomposition is considered in Banach space. A method for constructing an atomic decomposition of Banach space, starting with atomic decomposition of subspaces is presented. Some relations between them are established. The proposed method is used in the study of the frame properties of systems of eigenfunctions and associated functions of discontinuous differential operators.
متن کاملVirtual Operations in Common Information Spaces: Boundary Objects and Practices
The paper presents a field study aimed at identifying and analyzing the role of boundary artifacts in cross-organization virtual communities of practice (CoP). Our analysis is informed by a recent case study in vacation package assembly (VPA), which is defined as the distributed collective practice carried out by members of a boundary-spanning virtual alliance inhabiting a ‘common’ information ...
