Abstract

The increasing popularity of the Internet and social media is creating new and unique challenges for parents and adolescents regarding the boundaries between parental control and adolescent autonomy in virtual spaces. Drawing on developmental psychology and Communication Privacy Management (CPM) theory, we conduct a qualitative study to examine the challenge between parental concern for adolescent online safety and teens' desire to independently regulate their own online experiences. Analysis of 12 parent-teen pairs revealed five distinct challenges: (a) increased teen autonomy and decreased parental control resulting from teens' direct and unmediated access to virtual spaces, (b) the shift in power to teens who are often more knowledgeable about online spaces and technology, (c) the use of physical boundaries by parents as a means to control virtual spaces, (d) an increase in indirect boundary control strategies such as covert monitoring, and (e) the blurring of lines in virtual spaces between parents' teens and teens' friends.

Abstract

Evaluates a range of commercially available software designed to act as intelligent search agents to assist users find materials of interest on the Internet and WWW or selects for them without asking. Notes that existing search engines can be useful in finding information but their different features and sometimes unfriendly interfaces can be confusing and intelligent search agents may be able to overcome these difficulties. Singles out one package: Autonomy; from Autonomy Corporation, describes its specific features and reports results of a test conducted with the software. Concludes that, from the test results, Autonomy is not yet ready to challenge the existing Internet search engines, which in the tests performed better than Autonomy with regard to recall and precision of information retrieval. Autonomy did not give enough feedback to control the search action

Abstract

Reviews the Autonomy intelligent search agent for the Internet. The system searches for Internet sites based on a description of the search problem, the user selects suitable documents and the search is retained using this selection. The evaluation indicates that Autonomy is not suited to ad hac one-off searches as it takes too long compared to more traditional search engines. Search agents could be used for monitoring the WWW, or searching newspapers

Abstract

We are in the midst of a new business revolution driven by information technology. The centerpiece of this business revolution is a new kind of product which delivers instant customer gratification in a cost-effective way. The ability to make such products will determine the successful corporations of the next century. The new business revolution demands drastic changes in organizational knowledge creation, among corporations as well as in a corporation. The key attributes of Japan's success in creation of organizational knowledge are: (1) participative management, (2) "Kaizen," and (3) "Keiretsu." In today's world of fast-moving markets and fierce competition, however, the Japan model betrays its weakness: too much time required for organizational decision making, difficulty to make revolutionary change, and obscurity of responsibility. To solve the problems, Japanese companies are decentralizing the organizations and forming virtual corporations. The changes from consensus management to responsibility management and from "keiretsu" groups to virtual corporations pose three fundamental challenges to Japanese corporations in organizational knowledge creation: (1) co-existence of firm central direction and maximum individual autonomy; (2) construction of sophisticated information networks; and (3) intercultural communication. Corporations, MITI, and universities in Japan are making concerted efforts to deal wich the winds of change that are sweeping through industry and the economy.

Abstract

Despite the benefits associated with virtual teams, many people on these teams are unsatisfied with their experience. The goal of this study was to determine how to better facilitate satisfaction through shared leadership, individual trust, and autonomy. Specifically, in this study we sought a better understanding of the effects of shared leadership, team members' trust, and autonomy on satisfaction. We conducted a study with 163 individuals in 44 virtual teams. The results indicate that shared leadership facilitates satisfaction in virtual teams both directly and indirectly through the promotion of trust. Shared leadership moderated the relationships of individual trust and individual autonomy with satisfaction. Team-level satisfaction was a strong predictor of virtual team performance. We discuss these findings and the implications for theory and design.

Abstract

Algorithms influence every facet of modern life: criminal justice, education, housing, entertainment, elections, social media, news feeds, work... the list goes on. Delegating important decisions to machines, however, gives rise to deep moral concerns about responsibility, transparency, freedom, fairness, and democracy. Algorithms and Autonomy connects these concerns to the core human value of autonomy in the contexts of algorithmic teacher evaluation, risk assessment in criminal sentencing, predictive policing, background checks, news feeds, ride-sharing platforms, social media, and election interference. Using these case studies, the authors provide a better understanding of machine fairness and algorithmic transparency. They explain why interventions in algorithmic systems are necessary to ensure that algorithms are not used to control citizens' participation in politics and undercut democracy.

Abstract

An account of the emergence of the mind: how the brain acquired self-awareness, functional autonomy, the ability to think, and the power of speech. How did the human mind emerge from the collection of neurons that makes up the brain? How did the brain acquire self-awareness, functional autonomy, language, and the ability to think, to understand itself and the world? In this volume in the Essential Knowledge series, Zoltan Torey offers an accessible and concise description of the evolutionary breakthrough that created the human mind.
Drawing on insights from evolutionary biology, neuroscience, and linguistics, Torey reconstructs the sequence of events by which Homo erectus became Homo sapiens. He describes the augmented functioning that underpins the emergent mind-a new ("off-line") internal response system with which the brain accesses itself and then forms a selection mechanism for mentally generated behavior options. This functional breakthrough, Torey argues, explains how the animal brain's "awareness" became self-accessible and reflective-that is, how the human brain acquired a conscious mind. Consciousness, unlike animal awareness, is not a unitary phenomenon but a composite process. Torey's account shows how protolanguage evolved into language, how a brain subsystem for the emergent mind was built, and why these developments are opaque to introspection. We experience the brain's functional autonomy, he argues, as free will. Torey proposes that once life began, consciousness had to emerge-because consciousness is the informational source of the brain's behavioral response. Consciousness, he argues, is not a newly acquired "quality," "cosmic principle," "circuitry arrangement," or "epiphenomenon," as others have argued, but an indispensable working component of the living system's manner of functioning.

Abstract

Does contemporary Internet technology strengthen civic engagement and democratic practice? The recent surge in online community participation has become a cultural phenomenon enmeshed in ongoing debates about the health of American civil society. But observations about online communities often concentrate on ascertaining the true nature of community and democracy, typically rehearsing familiar communitarian and liberal perspectives. This book seeks to understand the technology on its own terms, focusing on how the technological and organizational configurations of online communities frame our contemporary beliefs and assumptions about community and the individual. It analyzes key structural features of thirty award-winning online community websites to show that while the values of individual autonomy, egalitarianism, and freedom of speech dominate the discursive content of these communities, the practical realities of online life are clearly marked by exclusivity and the demands of commercialization and corporate surveillance. Promises of social empowerment are framed within consumer and therapeutic frameworks that undermine their democratic efficacy. As a result, online communities fail to revolutionize the civic landscape because they create cultures of membership that epitomize the commodification of community and public life altogether.

Abstract

Sustained use of an information source is sometimes important for achieving an individual's long-term goals, such as learning and self-development. It is even more important for users of online health communities because health benefits usually come with sustained use. However, little is known about what retains a user. We interviewed 21 participants who had been using online diabetes communities in a sustained manner. Guided by self-determination theory, which posits that behaviors are sustained when they can satisfy basic human needs for autonomy, competence, and relatedness, we identified mechanisms that help satisfy these needs, and thus sustain users in online health communities. Autonomy-supportive mechanisms include being respected and supported as a unique individual, feeling free in making choices, and receiving meaningful rationales about others' decisions. Competence-cultivating mechanisms include seeking information, providing information, and exchanging information with others to construct knowledge. Mechanisms that cultivate relatedness include seeing similarities between oneself and peers, receiving responses from others, providing emotional support, and forming small underground groups for closer interactions. The results suggest that, like emotions, information and small group interactions also play a key role in retaining users. System design and community management strategies are discussed based on these mechanisms.

Abstract

It is first argued that a niche for information science, unclaimed by any other discipline, can be found by admitting the near-autonomy of Popper's World III - the world of objective knowledge. The task of information science can then be defined as the exploration of this world of objective knowledge which is an extension of, but is distinct from, the world of documentation and librarianship. The Popperian ontology then has to be extended to admit the concept of information and its relations to subjective and objective knowledge. The spaces of Popper's three worlds are then considered. It is argued that cognitive and physical spaces are not identical and that this lack of identity creates problems for the proper quantification of information phenomena

Abstract

Discusses a way of designing intelligent systems that assure autonomy, generality and practicality in problem solving to the greatest extent and can solve complex problems. There are various types of problem solving, depending on the object and often more than 1 subjects concern the same problem with different roles in complex problem solving. Discusses a new architecture for the system and a new modelling scheme for representing problems including human activity, as well as a way of generating problem-specific problem solving systems. New concepts include: a multi-level function structure and its corresponding knowledge structure, multiple meta-level operations and a multi-strata model to represent problems including human activity. The system realizes not only the generality but also the practicality of problem solving by enabling automatic programming

Abstract

The IOS rererence model of open distributed processing (RM-ODP) consists of: an overview of the reference model, the descriptive model, the prescriptive model, and the architectural semantics. They provide the concepts and rules of distributed processing to ensure openness between interacting distributed application components. Openness is a combination of characteristics: accessibility, heterogeneity, autonomy and distribution. The RM-ODP introduces the concept of viewpoint to describe a system from a particular set of concerns, and hence to deal with the complexity of distributed systems. While all the viewpoints are relevant to the description and design of distributed systems, the computational and engineering models are the ones that bear most directly on the design and implementation of distributed systems. From a distributes software engineering point of view, the computational and engineering viewpoints are again the most important; they reflect the software structure of the distributed application most closely. Concentrates on the computational and engineering viewpoints

Abstract

Semantic integration and data integration are 2 main processes that multidatabase systems need to employ in order to support interoperability. Both these processes involve uncertainty when attribute correspondences and global IDs are unknown or imprecise. The role-set approach is a new conceptual framework for data integration in multidatabase systems that maintains the materialization autonomy of local database systems by presenting the answer to a query as a set of sets representing the ddistinct intersections between the relations corresponding to the various roles played by an entity. In this article, we present an approach for dynamic database integration and query processing in the absence of information about attribute correspondences and global IDs. We define different types of equivalence conditions for the construction of global IDs. We propose a strategy based on ranked role-sets that makes use of an automated semantic integration procedure based on neural networks to determine candidate global IDs. The data integration and query processing stepts then produce a number a role-sets, ranked by the similarity of the candidate IDs
