Envisioning Our Cybernetic Environments

چکیده
This paper provides an introduction to the thinking and theoretical basis of my current study, which is entitled ‘Envisioning Our Cybernetic Environments’. The focus of this study is the everyday human computer{technology} interface as it occurs in creative and cultural artefacts. Through the study I aim to present a reformulated approach to understanding the design agency of interfaces and networked interactive computation media artefacts. Specifically focusing on how these phenomena act and are designed to conceal both themselves and the complex systems and processes that are involved in both their design and continual designing.

Social cybernetic strategies for asynchronous learning
In over 4 decades of experience with computer-supported learning (CSL), applications have progressed from rote training with primitive computer work stations, to today’s web-based applications for support of online learning communities (OLCs). It is assumed here that the growing focus of CSL applications on OLCs to support collaborative group learning has an inexorable momentum that parallels t...
متن کاملA cybernetic view of microbial growth: modeling of cells as optimal strategists.
A cybernetic framework is presented which views microbial response in multiple substrate environments as a judicious investment of cellular resources in synthesizing different key proteins according to an optimal regulatory strategy. A mathematical model is developed within the cybernetic framework for the diauxic growth of Klebsiella pneumoniae on a mixture of D-glucose and D-xylose. The "bang...
متن کاملExploring Landscape Changes Using an Envisioning System in Rural Workshop Environments
To be able to plan land use changes well ahead before they occur, it is useful to provide communities with visions of how these changes may affect their landscape. For this purpose, we have developed an Envisioning System, which is designed to help communities contemplate alternative land use configurations. Our system links geographic information systems, virtual reality, and mobile computing ...
متن کاملInvestigating the cybernetic status and its relationship with knowledge management from the perspective of the staff of Tehran School of Nursing and Midwifery
Introduction: Knowledge is an essential element of an organization to achieve competitive advantage and maximum results. At present, the implementation of knowledge management in the field of medicine and public health management to establish a research-based health center is a very important issue. In this regard, cybernetic management seeks to eliminate traditional and inefficient structures ...
متن کاملCo-evolution Path Model: How Enterprises as Complex Systems Survive on the Edge of Chaos
In this theoretical paper, we introduce and describe a model, and demonstrate its origins from the disciplines of Enterprise Architecture, cybernetics and systems theory. We use cybernetic thinking to develop a ‘Co-evolution Path Model’ that describes how enterprises as complex systems co-evolve with their complex environments. The model re-interprets Stafford Beer’s Viable System Model, and al...
