Book Description
Human Spoken Interaction as a Complex Adaptive System explains how human spoken communication functions, combining two separate complex adaptive systems: the universal 'interaction engine' and language(s), which now number around 7,000. Siegel and Seedhouse offer a comprehensive overview of how the components and processes of the interaction engine work together to enable us to understand each other, whatever the language. Through combining Complexity Science and Conversation Analysis, this book explains how to simultaneously analyse spoken interaction on micro and macro scales. Detailed analyses of L2 learners reveal them to be simultaneously expert in using the interaction engine and inexpert in using the specific language. The study shows that the basic characteristics of the interaction engine are the same as for other life-related complex systems and that it is possible to access the perspectives of participants inside this complex adaptive system as it is evolving.

Adaptive Action
Author: Glenda H. Eoyang
Publisher: Stanford University Press
ISBN: 0804785406
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 265
Book Description
Rooted in the study of chaos and complexity, Adaptive Action introduces a simple, common sense process that will guide you and your organization into reflective action. This elegant method prompts readers to engage with three deceptively simple questions: What? So what? Now what? The first leads to careful observation. The second invites you to thoughtfully consider options and implications. The third ignites effective action. Together, these questions and the tools that support them produce a dynamic and creative dance with uncertainty. The road-tested steps of adaptive action can be used to devise solutions and improve performance across multiple challenges, and they have proven to be scalable from individuals to work groups, from organizations to communities. In addition to laying out the adaptive action framework and clear protocols to support it, Glenda H. Eoyang and Royce J. Holladay introduce best practices from exemplary professionals who have used adaptive action to meet personal, professional, and political challenges in leadership, consulting, Alzheimer's treatment, evaluation, education reform, political advocacy, and cultural engagement—readying readers to employ this new toolkit to meet their own goals with a sense of ingenuity and flexibility.

Intelligent Adaptive Systems
Author: Ming Hou
Publisher: CRC Press
ISBN: 1466517247
Category : Computers
Languages : en
Pages : 336
Book Description
As ubiquitous as the atmosphere, intelligent adaptive systems (IASs) surround us in our daily lives. When designed well, these systems sense users and their environments so that they can provide support in a manner that is not only responsive to the evolving situation, but unnoticed by the user. A synthesis of recent research and developments on IASs from the human factors (HF) and human–computer interaction (HCI) domains, Intelligent Adaptive Systems: An Interaction-Centered Design Perspective provides integrated design guidance and recommendations for researchers and system developers. The book explores a recognized lack of integration between the HF and HCI research communities, which has led to inconsistencies between the research approaches adopted, and a lack of exploitation of research from one field by the other. The authors integrate theories and methodologies from these domains to provide design recommendations for human–machine developers. They then establish design guidance through the review of conceptual frameworks, analytical methodologies, and design processes for intelligent adaptive systems. The book draws on case studies from the military, medical, and distance learning domains to illustrate intelligent system design to examine lessons learned. Outlining an interaction-centered perspective for designing an IAS, the book details methodologies for understanding human work in complex environments and offers understanding about why and how optimizing human–machine interaction should be central to the design of IASs. The authors present an analytical and design methodology as well as an implementation strategy that helps you choose the proper design framework for your needs.

Introduction To Environmental Science
Author: Dr. Devendra Kumar Solanki
Publisher: AG PUBLISHING HOUSE (AGPH Books)
ISBN: 811902561X
Category : Study Aids
Languages : en
Pages : 235
Book Description
The overarching goal of this book is to instill a sense of environmental responsibility that will motivate students to take action at the individual level in order to preserve the world in which they live. Researching the environment's condition is important for three main reasons. Because it is basically the application of the scientific techniques and ideas to study of environmental challenges, environmental science has undoubtedly been around in some form since the dawn of science. Ecology, Environmental Studies, Environmental Education, and Environmental Engineering are just a few of the subjects that are sometimes mistaken with Environmental Science. The area of environmental science is all-encompassing and not limited to any one discipline. Although ecology may be a part of environmental science, it is not the same discipline. Interactions between organisms and their environments are of particular interest to ecologists. The majority of ecological studies and education do not concentrate on environmental problems until and until they have an impact on the organism under study. Organisms may or may not be considered while doing research by environmental scientists. The environmental problem, which may be essentially physical in origin, is the main focus. For instance, the impact of acid deposition on organisms may be examined apart from its role as an emissions problem and atmospheric feature.

Supercomplexity in Interaction
Author: Victoria Orange
Publisher: Springer Nature
ISBN: 3030280187
Category : Psychology
Languages : en
Pages : 139
Book Description
This book aims to explore the supercomplexity of interaction and to suggest ways of teaching about this supercomplexity in various settings, including intercultural communication and language-learning. Using complex systems theory, the author argues that interaction is actually a supercomplex adaptive system which interconnects a number of different complex systems (the 4Es: Expression, Encounter, Education, Emotion) to give it meaning. She then draws on the concept of heartfulness to promote different ways of understanding and teaching the supercomplexity of interaction. This book will be of interest to language educators and students, as well as scholars of intercultural communication.
