Knowledge Communication in Design Communities
نویسندگان
چکیده
Design is a rich domain in which to investigate barriers and biases in computersupported communication because it involves many different modes of communication in socialtechnical contexts. This chapter briefly describes different design approaches. It analyzes the biases and barriers of two different types of design communities: communities of practice and communities of interest. To address the communication challenges between diverse design communities, boundary objects are needed to establish common ground and shared understanding in the context of complex design tasks. We explore the unique possibilities that computational media have to support our conceptual framework. Our work is based on the fundamental belief that there is no media-independent communication and interaction—that tools, materials, and social arrangements are always involved in some way in these activities. The possibilities and the practice of design are functions of the media with which we design. We present examples of such environments from our work.

متن کاملVirtual Communities: Analysis and Design Support
Information systems engineering for design or knowledge communities is characterized by the fact that these communities constantly monitor themselves and initiate repair processes (i.e. re-design and community learning) when disturbances occur. In this paper, we present ATLAS, a digital media information systems engineering environment that takes systematic advantage of the productive role of s...
