A formal theory for conceptualizing artefacts and tool manipulations
نویسنده
چکیده
Artefacts (physical and institutional) are ubiquitous of our social environment. We live in a tight network of socio-technical systems, which are systems where agents interact with created objects. There is an increasing need for rigorous methods to model, specify, and reason about socio-technical systems in general, and about artefacts and their functions in particular. We propose a formal theory that serves at the conceptualization of artefacts and their manipulations: design, implementation, existence, use, and persistence.

متن کاملConceptualizing oral documents
Introduction. This paper reflects an exploratory investigation into information based in oral modalities. It also explains how an increase in formal recognition of orality as a valid mode for making information available introduces the need to seriously consider it and artefacts that emerge from it.
