....an initial set of integrated tools, which includes (1) computer mediated communication, 2) conceptual knowledge structures, 3) community process support, 4) decision analysis support, and (5) advanced hypermedia features. The integration of these components will represent a major advance [30, 65]. Whenever possible, we propose the use of existing technologies and systems and emerging WWW standards [56] Computer Mediated Communications and Collaborative Knowledge Structuring Various computer mediated communication structures and tools allow virtual communities to work together ....

.... information spaces includes Michael Batty s examination of Virtual Geography (Batty 1997) Paul Adams s work on Network Topologies and Virtual Place (Adams 1998) Manuel Castells s Space of Flows (Castells 1996) and Brian Gaines s research on the human factors of Internet information spaces (Gaines 1997). Issues in Information Accessibility There are a number of important issues that need to be factored into future models of accessibility to information in the Internet. I will discuss the following: network performance, size of the information spaces, information findability and ....

....For example, they warned that awareness of script and counting errors is important, especially when using automated compilers for web server statistics. They also emphasized the importance of knowing what to measure in order to obtain proper user based measures of Web and Internet services. 16 Gaines et al. 1997) discuss the changes in scholarly communities brought about by the increased popularity of the Internet and World Wide Web. They argue that there has been little study of the human factors aspect of Internet and Web use. Their article proposes a framework for analyzing the utility of Internet and ....

....model the larger unit as a composite human entity whose processes interact with computing technologies. The team, the special interest community, and humanity at large, are the relevant systems to consider in designing, modeling and understanding the next generation of human computer interaction (Gaines, Chen and Shaw, 1997). Studies of individual interaction will continue but they will be greatly enriched by situating that interaction in the social, organizational, political, economic and cultural situations within which that interaction plays a role. 2. BACKGROUND AND ISSUES There are many papers that address the ....

....and the mediating products of the mental, were fundamental to the analysis of HCI. I later used that framework to analyze person computer interaction in distributed systems (Gaines, 1988a) computeraided knowledge acquisition (Gaines, 1989) and the support of scholarly communities on the Internet (Gaines, Chen and Shaw, 1997). The original presentation focused on computers as vehicles to explore Popper s World 3 , the mediating products of the human mind, and is useful in modeling developments in simulation, artificial intelligence and electronic journals (Gaines, 1993) However, the massive growth of discourse on ....
