1 TITLE and RUNNING HEAD : Syndetic Modelling
نویسنده
چکیده
Syndesis n. (pl. ~ es). [mod, L, f. Gk SYNdesis} binding together (sundeo bind together)]. —The Concise Oxford Dictionary, Seventh Edition, 1986. User and system models are typically viewed as independent representations that provide complementary insights into aspects of human-computer interaction. Within system development it is usual to see the two activities as separate, or at best loosely coupled, with either the design artefact or some third ‘mediating’ expression providing the context in which the results of modelling can be related. This paper proposes that formal system models can be combined directly with a representation of human cognition to yield an integrated view of human-system interaction: a syndetic model. Aspects of systems that affect usability can then be described and understood in terms of the conjoint behaviour of user and computer. This paper introduces and discusses, in syndetic terms, two scenarios with markedly different properties. We show how syndesis can provide a formal foundation for reasoning about interaction.

Advances in battery, display, microprocessor, and robot technologies now allow the designers of computing systems to devise machines that are no longer tied to the desktop, neither physically nor in the interaction styles they permit. One class of the new devices possible are virtual pets, electronic lifeforms that implement algorithmic analogues and simulations of biological processes and whic...
متن کاملLargeness of the Set of Finite Products in a Semigroup
We investigate when the set of finite products of distinct terms of a sequence 〈xn〉n=1 in a semigroup (S, ·) is large in any of several standard notions of largeness. These include piecewise syndetic, central , syndetic, central* , and IP*. In the case of a “nice” sequence in (S, ·) = (N,+) one has that FS(〈xn〉n=1) has any or all of the first three properties if and only if {xn+1 − ∑n t=1 xt : ...
