Developing Intrinsically Motivated Information Systems

چکیده
This paper deals with the problematic of development methodologies for organisational information systems and especially with their application to business systems. Historically, information systems development methodologies tend to fail, because either they take the organisational purposefulness for granted, or they do not analyse it thoroughly. This paper‟s position is that the analysis, and the definition or redefinition of the systemic purpose are regarded as the utmost expression of the system‟s purposefulness. This is to be achieved by ensuring the participation of all the stakeholders who affect, or are affected by, a particular business system‟s operations. The nature of participation, defined as a process of the stakeholders‟ perceptual exchanges, is deemed to be problematic in itself, due to the influence exerted upon it by organisational power, coercion and false consciousness. The paper highlights the philosophical reasons for the failures of information systems development methodologies, and provides a conceptual solution to this problematic as well as a strategy for the development of intrinsically motivated organisational information systems. The intrinsically motivated information systems methodology outlined here (BSPA) is intended to yield organisational information systems that demonstrably improve co-ordination of organisational activities, by enabling the development and maintenance of a single/multifaceted view of purpose throughout organisations.

Intrinsically Motivated Machines
Children seem intrinsically motivated to manipulate, to explore, to test, to learn and they look for activities and situations that provide such learning opportunities. Inspired by research in developmental psychology and neuroscience, some researchers have started to address the problem of designing intrinsic motivation systems. A robot controlled by such systems is able to autonomously explor...
متن کاملIntrinsically Motivated Learning Systems: An Overview
This chapter introduces the field of intrinsically motivated learning systems and illustrates the content, objectives, and organisation of the book. The chapter first expands the concept of intrinsic motivations, then introduces a taxonomy of three classes of intrinsic-motivation mechanisms (based on predictors, on novelty detection, and on competence), and finally introduces and reviews the va...
متن کاملSupportive and Antagonistic Behaviour in Distributed Computational Creativity via Coupled Empowerment Maximisation
There has been a strong tendency in distributed computational creativity systems to embrace embodied and situated agents for their flexible and adaptive behaviour. Intrinsically motivated agents are particularly successful in this respect, because they do not rely on externally specified goals, and can thus react flexibly to changes in open-ended environments. While supportive and antagonistic ...
متن کاملThe iCub platform: a tool for studying intrinsically motivated learning
Instrinsically motivated robots are machines designed to operate for long periods of time, performing tasks for which they have not been programmed for. These robots make extensive use of explorative, often unstructured actions in search for opportunities to learn and to extract information from the environment. Research in this field faces challenges that need advances not only on the algorith...
