New technologies and systems are greatly impacting people’s lives. However, innovation has the potential to bring benefits as well as threats. In this world of technical revolution we argue that in order to arrive at proper systems requirements, one should examine and understand the relationships among social actors. Rather than focusing of behavioral properties of the software, we should ask h...

Social network analysis (SNA) has been used to study the relationships between actors in social networks, revealing their features and patterns. In most cases, nodes and edges in graph theory are used to represent actors and relationships, and graph representations are used to visually analyze social networks. However, many visualization tools using network diagrams tend to depict most informat...

Identifying the social actor has become one of tasks in Artificial Intelligence, whereby extracting keyword from Web snippets depend on the use of web is steadily gaining ground in this research. We develop therefore an approach based on overlap principle for utilizing a collection of features in web snippets, where use of keyword will eliminate the un-relevant web pages.

Presently, there are user interfaces that allow multimodal interactions. Many existing research and prototype systems introduced embodied agents, assuming that they allow a more natural conversation or dialogue between user and computer. Here we will first take a look at how in general people react to computers. We will look at some of the theories, in particular the CASA (“Computers Are Social...

In today’s networked society where everybody and everything becomes interconnected, it is very important to be able to identify key actors and key relationships in such a complex multi-layered eco-system. This paper focuses on the specific research challenge of identifying the most influential actors in a social network built through combining relationships among same actors in two different do...
