Requirements and abstract models for STS - ACSS
#Abstract
Try to tell a story here, no matter what your field. You are writing for human beings, not computers. What’s the area, what’s the problem you are trying to understand. How? What have you found?
(You are summarizing your core results, not cramming them into this tiny space).
The idea here is to start at the far left, and clarify what the core of what you want to say is first, and then expand on it by moving to the right, one column at a time.
After a couple of “passes” of expanding, you will end up with your complete, and well structured paper on column 5, which you can export separately.
Here’s a (somewhat dated) video which might help.

ethical,
sociological
=sintelnet
Technical ((language, theory and meta-model)= soundness, (proof of properties (T + M))
Methodological (interdisciplinary (reinventing the wheel, false metaphors (weak misunderstanding))= correspondence (together with the properties above), (design, construction and use of ASCS)
Part 9 research program
Part 10 Closing
Motivation
Desiderata
Tradition: organization theory, coordination science + dialectics, institutions, psychology, sociology, ethology,
Outline: terms, structure, aims
Working definition
The WIT (descriptive) (integrity constraints, connections WIT)
Properties (social space, change in the social space, isomorphism)
Challenge (formal)
Affordances, how to provide (expressiveness, implement (briefly)
Models and properties
utility mixture (SOC, Psi)=> SASS
hybrid social spaces (agent architectures)
examples (NPCs, tutors) 0> social relationships (social space)
1 From I to T: Devices, mete-models, BA how to implement the fundamentals we want
What is in T BB:
meta-model (languages, data structures, operation; formal platform)
environment (persistence of social pace, time, identities, events, actions, governance)
architecture (centralized, P2P)
computational milieu
From T to I
Coupling T and W
Coupling I and W
Technical :
Language, theory and meta-model
Platforms and metamodels
soundness, proof of properties (T + M))
Methodological
a)Need to bridge the gaps of interdisciplinary (on one hand: reinventing the wheel; on the other, false metaphors (weak misunderstanding))
This is a challenge of correspondence (together with the properties above),
b) Develop techniques and guidelines for the design, construction and use of ASCS.
Wide view
social significance (in money, technological and practices (ethical, sociological)=sintelnet),
scientific significance (convergence, new problems)
Gaps in tradition (Turing + Hawkins)
What is in T (Figure BB) (Affordances, devices)
What is a platform specific model
