For me in this part their theory is a bit misleading, the concept eco-cognitive niche as a distributed knowledge representation phenomenon should not indicate the cognitive space of one person. If such distributed cognitive space exists, the relationship how personal cognitive space would be influenced by culturally emergent niche and vice versa needs still to be explained. tend to Last week i finally had the chance to meet in person with Emanuele Bardone from University of Pavia, with whom i have been in contact in concerns of affordance and niche ideas for about a year when i discovered papers about eco-cognitive niche construction he wrote with Lorenzo Magnani.

positively skewed degree distribution increase extremism transmission in a social network. positively skewed degree distribution increases opinion convergence towards extremes, and encourages opinion convergence on a single extreme under a wider range of conditions than topologies that were not skewed in their degree distribution. nodes to the tail-end of the degree distribution) we found that when the network converges on a single extreme, it is always to the positive I found an interesting empirical paper about networks.

Magnani (2008), and Magnani and Bardone (2008) use the term cognitive niche to mark the distributed space that people create by interrelating individual cognition and the environment through the continuous interplay through abductive processes in which they alter and modify the environment. Recent month i have been trying to write together with Mauri Kaipainen about the “Narrative ecology” course results. In principle, we come up with some theoretical baseline how writing narratives happens in new hybrid ecosystems, and how it may be represented ontologically and used for detecting

In theory, a network of this kind cannot be controlled or destroyed, because it is completely decentralized, anonymous and distributed. An example for this are the - for now - thinly distributed local wifi networks, things like the German freifunk, and the Roman ninux. Netsukuku is a p2p based new routing protocol that could - for the purpose of linking users’ computers in a p2p cloud - replace the IP numbers-based addressing and routing that is the system currently in use to link servers to users in the internet. The Italian language edition of Wired Magazine featured Andrea Lo

Instead, think about Distribution x Engagement x Lifetime User Value image from shutterstock Social gaming is a hot topic here at SXSW. The industry has been growing at an incredible rate and traditional gaming companies have been caught unnawares by a flurry of new market entrants. Playfish was one of the 2009 success stories.

Conceive, develop, test, implement and distribute components of a new operating system for the city, which improves the processes of communication, participation and consumption under open, efficient and sustainable parameters. It will be necessary to design and/or reutilise different type of interactions and of networks between technologies and people in the urban space, like this like mechanisms of visualization, distribution and improvement of each one of the components of the system.
