Some ideas for the possible casestudies for the LiveMemories project

Yesterday we shared with the LiveMemories project's partners some basic ideas for a few possible case studies that could provide us useful insights on which kind of participation we might expect from citizens. Hopefully, these case studies could help us to find a direction for the development of the technical platform of the LiveMemories project.
So here it is...!

Seminar announcement

On Tuesday 11th of November I'll be holding a seminar at FBK-Irst on my dissertation thesis... the title is: Introduction to social network analysis and effects of social network based feedback on group mediated communication.

Abstract:

Social Network Analysis is widely used in social and behavioural sciences, in economics, marketing and engineering. The social network perspective focuses on relationships among interactive units, identifying the unit of analysis not in the individual, but rather in a collection of social entities and the linkages among them.
The main Social Network Analysis indexes will be introduced with a particular focus on their social meaning.
Secondly, an experimental research will be presented that exploited some individual and group social network analysis indexes to provide feedbacks on some aspects of the communication structure in groups of people involved in a multiplayer online role-playing game.

Where:

Sala CS, first floor
FBK-Irst, via Sommarive 18 – POVO (TN)

I'm in a state...!
