Towards Computation over Communities

With the advance of global computer networks, a dramatic shift in computing metaphors has begun: from team to community. Understanding that the team metaphor has created various research fields including groupware and distributed artificial intelligence, it seems that the community metaphor has the potential to generate new directions in research and practice. Based on this motivation, we organized the Kyoto Meeting on Social Interaction and Communityware in June 1998. This article reports the background and results of the meeting.
