Towards a Unified Model of Simple Physical and Virtual Environments

چکیده
This paper presents a general modeling approach intended to facilitate design of physical-virtual environments. Although the model is based on elements found in typical office environments, certain care has been taken to open for the modeling of more diverse settings with minimal ontological changes. The design approach finds inspiration in the technology-driven areas of Ubiquitous/Pervasive Computing (Weiser, 1991) and Graspable/Tangible User Interfaces (Fitzmaurice, Ishii & Buxton, 1995) as well as more empirical and theoretical research on Knowledge Work (Drucker, 1973; Kidd, 1994), office organisation (Malone, 1983), and Distributed Cognition (Hollan, Hutchins & Kirsh, 2000).

متن کاملGTrust: a group based trust model
Nowadays, the growth of virtual environments such as virtual organizations, social networks, and ubiquitous computing, has led to the adoption of trust concept. One of the methods of making trust in such environments is to use a long-term relationship with a trusted partner. The main problem of this kind of trust, which is based on personal experiences, is its limited domain. Moreover, both par...
