• Network theories
• Network = core architecture of ICT
• Bridges human and technologcal networks
How ideas, data, software, viruses etc. spread =>Distributions
• How people behave and organize themselves
=> Design of virtual communities
In CCM technical and human networks are interconnected!
A network topology is the pattern of links connecting pairs of nodes (=knot) of a network.
• Community/Social problem
• Technical problem
Examples of human rings?
Examples in organizations?
Advantages?
Disadvantages?
Advantages? Disadvantages?
Disadvantages?
• Hybrids of the above
What architecture is this?
Because two-way interactive systems generally have properties of dynamical systems.
• ... online communities behave like self-organizing systems
• How networks get organized in bottom-up direction (self-organization)
Relates to artificial life => Virtual environments
• Feedback loops
Self-regulation of behavior: non-determinist, non-linear
• Self-Organization
= Spontaneous emergence of order and collective behaviour from...
• ...'democratic' and local interactions of the system's elements
Bottom-up: No top-down organizer => relevance to CCM
• Simple local rules
• Patterns emerge
• (University of Toronto links)
• Images illustrating self-organization
Nature: Waves, formations, behavior

Reflect interactive media against a number of relevant theoretical and cultural discourses, societal contexts and power relations:
• postmodern philosophies
• realism vs. constructivism
• multiple perspectives to interaction
• analysis of media power
Distinguish between different genres, technologies of interactive media, as well as associated social and community dynamics:
• sharing applications
• collaborative applications
• learning environments
• multiplayer games
Analyze recent changes in relations of production and consumption of interactive media, as well as emergent forms of creativity and innovation:
• open source, conten and ontology
• abstraction of business
• globalization
• indirect business models
• innovation sharing
• (prosumer producer + consumer in the same person (Tapscott & Williams 2006)
(everyman's vs. professional creativity: creativity: music, photography, video etc., Manovich 2000)
• (mashup culture, Manovich 2000)
• Recognize and elaborate functions of interactive media in the society, such as inclusion, participation, democracy, education, research and innovation
• participatory democracy & activism
• learning environments & distance learning
• digital divide
• (inclusion vs. exclusion)
Identify a variety of consumer application areas of interactive media, such as services, entertainment and games and associated business models:
• services
• games
• (serious gaming)
Apply a number of online applications of interactive media to personal and professional purposes:
• collaborative text editing
• collaborative spreadsheets
• blogs
• video calls
• wikis
Demo of the ongoing development of multi-perspective media, based on spatial ontology (ontospace).
0. Open the collaborative data collection sheet.
1. Establish a row for yourself.
• 2. Establish columns (ontodimensions)
3. Position yourself into each new ontodimension with values between 0 and 1. 1 = extreme liking, 0 is don't like.
Repeat 2 to 3.
4. Save the data as .txt.
5. Go to the demo site.
Upload the saved file.
6. Wait the applet to download.
7. Explore different perspectives to the ontospace with sliders, each representing the degree to which you want to take that property into account in clustering the participants.
The haptic lab visit will be organized and hosted by Fredrik Winqvist.

Network topologies
Network topologies by foobaz Foobaz
A network topology is the pattern of links connecting pairs of nodes (=knot) of a network.
Line topology
Can be broken by:• Community/Social problem
• Technical problem
Bus topology
Robustness?Ring topology
Robustness?Examples of human rings?
Star topology
• = hub-centeredExamples in organizations?
Advantages?
Disadvantages?
Hierarchy topology (tree)
• Army modelAdvantages? Disadvantages?
Fully connected
Examples?Disadvantages?
Mesh & hybrid topologies
At least two nodes with two or more paths between them (WP).• Hybrids of the above

Complex dynamical systems
Why this topic on this course?Because two-way interactive systems generally have properties of dynamical systems.
• ... online communities behave like self-organizing systems
• How networks get organized in bottom-up direction (self-organization)
Relates to artificial life => Virtual environments
Characteristics of complex systems
• Complex systems, complexity• Feedback loops
Self-regulation of behavior: non-determinist, non-linear
• Self-Organization
Self-Organization
• Self-organization (of newtork topology)= Spontaneous emergence of order and collective behaviour from...
• ...'democratic' and local interactions of the system's elements
Bottom-up: No top-down organizer => relevance to CCM
