Communication paths in the network
{"Image DocumentName": "Communication paths in the network", "Image ImageDescription": "Exchange paths: among the workshops at the same level. Request paths: concerned with the communications going from low levels to higher levels. trigger the co-evolution process, carrying on the feedback from end users (requests for workshop modification or extension) Generation paths: represent the activity of using workshops at a high level to generate, modify or extend workshops to be used at the lower level. new or evolved workshops are made available to lower levels along such generation paths. In order to favor the co-evolution process, communication paths must be guaranteed among application and system workshops. In this way, once the overall interactive system (all workshops of a network) is in use, the design team has the possibility to observe end user activities, the new usages of the system, the new procedures induced by the evolving organization. Thanks to the communication possibilities the network offers, the design team also receives end user complaints and suggestions about the workshops they interact with. On the basis of these observations, the design team updates the system and sometimes also the underlying software technologies. In this way, co-evolution is supported. At the use level, end users exchange data related with their current task, to achieve a common goal. At the design level, HCI experts and domain experts exchange data and programs specifying workshops. HCI experts and domain experts also communicate with software engineers when it is necessary to forge new tools for their activities. Moreover, requests for workshop modification or extension can be sent to the design level or to the meta-design level from the lower one. Finally, when new tools or workshops are created at high levels, they are made available to the lower ones.", "Image XResolution": "37", "Image YResolution": "37", "Image ResolutionUnit": "Pixels/Centimeter", "Image Software": "SlidePlayer", "Image YCbCrPositioning": "Centered"}
