Web-based information systems (WBIS) include the website part and the system part, and easy-to-use website is particular critical to the success of WBIS. This paper argues that the easy-to-use website can only be developed based on the need of use in the user perspective and such need must be captured and modelled as communicational requirements in WBIS analysis. However current analysis and mo...

Communicational complexity problem among three parties for the calculation of a three party inner product modular function is discussed, where each party possess some of the function’s input. Classical communicational complexity of this function can be evaluated by three classical bits. In classical theory, the three party modular function can’t be evaluated by two classical bits, but using qua...

background and aim: academic evaluation is one of the strategies applied for the enhancement of teaching conditions. student-based evaluation is one of the most common kinds of evaluation. the current study is aimed at the identification of important criteria of academic evaluation from the viewpoint of medical school students.   materials and methods: this is a descriptive, cross-sectional stu...

—A communicational reality is a culturally-specific conceptualization of social space constructed and shared by people through the act of communication. This article examines the role of technology in the construction of communicational realities, acknowledging that it is neither a neutral tool nor an autonomous agent in the process. The knowledge of how we use technology to engender communicat...

In this paper we propose a computational model for human-agent and agent-agent conversation. This model has two fundamental characteristics: (1) it takes into account the implicit aspects of conversations by dealing with the non literal level of speech acts; (2) it models the dialogization process. Theoretically, our model uses a public approach based on social commitments and on what we call c...
