The end of symbolic immortality: a non-monetarian collaborative cooperation model in an Internet based groupware service
نویسندگان
چکیده
Based on user requirements investigations of typical groupware users, we have elaborated a rating model for collaborative message filtering. In this model, evaluating contributions has a direct effect to the organisational structure of virtual co-operative groups. The model fosters self-organisation and vitalization. The dynamic incentive mechanism mirrors real group dynamics to virtual communities. In that sense, symbolic immortality of human beings (Baudrillard) is reduced for virtual activities, as symbolic capital has to be steadily renewed.

متن کاملModeling and Simulating Extreme Collaboration: An Agent-Based Approach
Understanding how technology can aid cooperation has always been a great challenge in the Computer Supported Cooperative Work (CSCW) field. In fact, a large number of studies of collaborative work in a naturalistic setting have been used to understand characteristics, interactions, and activities of actors within their shared environment. Understanding this type of “real-world” cooperation is f...
