"Interaction" in a "Hybrid Society": A Terminological Footnote
نویسندگان
چکیده
The aim of this paper is to substitute sociologically more pertinent explanations for the popular sociology notions of "interaction" and "hybrid society". The scope and implications of these notions are discussed from a perspective of microsociology as applied to distributed artifical intelligence. The authors argue that only a precise use of the terms in specific disciplinary contexts is conducive to an adequate understanding of the studied subjectmatter.The term "hybrid society" overstates the social consequences of the phenomena it sets out to describe and should not be used even in an everyday language context. The term "interaction" should be used in the sociological sense of the word and not as what is in effect a synonym for the new media term "navigation". Finally, it is suggested that the term "multiagent environment" is better suited to the discussions of agent interactions from a microsociological perspective than the term "multiagent systems".

Knowledge Representation and Reasoning with Definitional Taxonomies
We provide a detailed overview of knowledge representation issues in general and terminological knowledge representation in particular. Terminological knowledge representation, which originated with KL-ONE, is an object-centered approach in the tradition of semantic networks and frames. Terminological systems share three distinguishing characteristics: (1) They are intended to support the defin...

In its conceptual meaning, Social Interaction, as a mean of connecting individuals in a society, is defined differently in the realm of Sociology. In this respect, the effective status of social interactions in the formation of proper social relations is shown in Architecture. The benefits of this status include cooperation to achieve active-public profit and its results, the development of par...
متن کاملExtracting Terminologically Relevant Collocations in the Translation of Chinese Monograph
This paper suggests a methodology which is aimed to extract the terminologically relevant collocations for translation purposes. Our basic idea is to use a hybrid method which combines the statistical method and linguistic rules. The extraction system used in our work operated at three steps: (1) Tokenization and POS tagging of the corpus; (2) Extraction of multi-word units using statistical me...
