Research and development of a socialization-externalization support system for loosely connected organizations

我们已经开发了一个系统，可以在成员之间联系松散的组织中促进社会化和外部化。这种组织成员的工作方式不同于成员之间关系密切的传统组织，成员之间不是面对面的见面，而是利用信息通信技术（ICT）相互沟通，收集信息，解决问题。典型案例见于大学的研究项目。这样的组织需要一个成员之间社会化和外化的支持系统。我们所说的社会化是指成员分享经验和观点的过程，而这些往往难以用语言来描述。通过外化，我们指的是一个过程，在这个过程中，成员表达他们的想法，使他们能够建立对他们共同努力实现的目标的相互理解。为了建立一个社会化和外部化的辅助系统，我们研究了阻碍这些过程的因素和促进这些过程的因素。国士教授关注创造力支持系统，并转向知识管理，从亲和性的角度分析过程，并研究了大脑写作的支持系统。至于对社会化和外化的支持，他调查了对意识的支持系统。教授. .Fujinami最初研究的是基于用户位置信息提取用户兴趣的方法，后来他从事于促进组织成员之间交流的inter-groupware的研究和开发。金井博士调查了法律信息的搜索系统，并分析了这些系统如何影响人们在社区内利用和转移知识项目的方式。三浦博士从事情境感知技术的研究和开发，为社会化和外化的支持系统提供了新的视角，并将他关于数字笔的想法应用于一个名为TransNote的计算机辅助学习系统，该系统在真实的教室中进行了测试。少

We have developed a system that facilitates socialization and externalization within organizations whose members are loosely connected with each other. The work style of the members belonging to such an organization is different from that of conventional organizations where members are closely related with each other in that the members do not see with each other face-to-face, but communicate with each other using information communication technology (ICT) to gather information and solve problems. Typical cases are found in research projects at universities. Such organizations need a support system for socialization and externalization among members. By socialization we mean a process in which members share experiences and points of view, which are often difficult to describe in language. By externalization we mean a process in which members express their ideas to the extent where they can establish mutual understanding of the goal they conjointly target to accomplish. To develop a sup … More port system for socialization and externalization, we investigated both the elements blocking those processes and the other facilitating them. Prof. Kunifuji was concerned with creativity support systems and turned to knowledge management to analyze the process in terms of congeniality and investigated support systems for brain-writing. As for support for socialization and externalization, he investigated support systems for awareness. Prof.. Fujinami looked into methodologies to extract users' interests based on their location information in the beginning, but later he was engaged in the research and development of inter-groupware which facilitates communication between members belonging to an organization. Dr. Kanai investigated search systems of law information and analyzed how such systems may affect the way people utilize and transfer items of knowledge within community. Dr. Miura was engaged in the research and development of context-awareness technology to shed a new light on support systems for socialization and externalization and applied his ideas of digital pens to a computer-aided learning system called TransNote, which was tested in real classrooms.
