Motivation

• Autonomic communication introduction
• Vision The main feature of future communication
  paradigms will be the ability to adapt to an
  evolving situation, where new resources can
  become available, administrative domains can
  change and economic models can vary accordingly. 
• The idea of this presentation is to get
  inspiration from social behaviour and human
  cooperation so as to transfer acquired knowledge
  to technical application network.
• Examples of successful complex problem solving
• air traffic control
• subway traffic control (French example)

Problem

• What runs persists and is strengthened Prof.
  Harry Krallman, Introduction to social
  psychology, what shows that if the network is
  well designed and implemented, it would work
  properly
• increasing its
• strength,
• capacity,
• self-organising,
• reliability
• and optimizing scalability
• as well as adopting to dynamic situations or
  occurring changes.

Expectations

• It is expected to achieve such a network which
  will be able to get the knowledge about the new
  dynamic rules, to learn them by recognizing
  occurring changes.
• The same as people do, if they change place of
  work, if they access new family (of the
  life-partner), if they get new friends or if they
  go to live abroad.

Goal

• Group Communication Model creation
• so as to perform two experiments,
• take conclusions from both
• and try to map it into technology

10
Methodology of work

• Interdisciplinary issues
• social behaviour, social psychology, physiology
• versus
• network technology
• Sources see the last slide.

11
Group Communication Model

• Model assumptions
• Group - consists of more than 1 person.
• Group communication in social meaning can be
  defined as a communication between a group and at
  least 1 person or communication between two
  independent groups.

12
GCM first approach
listener
group of listeners
person who is the speaker
13
Group Communication Model

• Model Assumptions
• Person who is the speaker is always listening
  (even while talking), because it is his\her
  destination.
• It is also the sense of communication that a
  source of speech is waitng for the feedback and
  opposite - the group is waiting for the speaker
  response.
• Group can be silent or talk, listening occur
  always
• Members of the group can also talk to each other.

14
Group Communication Model

• We could predict that one of sides (person who is
  designed to talk or a group) are not listening,
  but ..
• In the experiments done, there was no such an
  event.
• Thats why I assume that both sides are
  configured so as to listen all the time
• It is also the sense of communication that a
  source of speech is waitng for the feedback and
  opposite - the group is waiting for the speaker
  response.
• Moreover, if any of two consideres communication
  sides is not listening I consider it as an error.
  

15
Group Communication Model

• Possible states of the actors
• Alternative silence
• Mutual silence
• Alternative talk
• Doubletalk
• Listening
• Not listening
• Interruption

16
Group Communication Model

• Simplified states of the actors considered in
  the experiments
• Silence
• Talk
• Listening
• Not listening error of configuration

Aim of experimental work

• Assess important events and rules governing
  during group communication between humans
• Assess important group features during group
  communication between humans
• Investigate the capacity of network
  selforginising
• Map and implement social behaviours (in the form
  of events, rules, features) in the network
  technology to make network intelligent, which
  means
• to teach the network how to learn

Experiment No. 2

• Assess
• Behaviour of different kind of groups in relation
  to one person (speaker)
• In terms of
• Frequency
• Time
• Understanding level
• Taking into account relation between speaker and
  group

29
Experiment No. 2

2

• I was the speaker to 4 different groups.
• The aim was to check
• Frequency of different phases of the model
• Time of duration of those phases (in seconds)
• Understanding level (to which extend the members
  of the group have understood my speech)
• Relation between speaker and group (family,
  co-workers, friends, strangers)

Summary

• Rules existing in a group provide that the
  members posses common knowledge. They can
  exchange symbols in a form of rich patterns of
  behaviour.
• This consequently proves that the theory of
  social communication can be the basis for network
  design as we want to reach the same goal as
  people do.
• Human features can be mapped into technical
  attributes (Exp.no.1)
• The smaller the group the better internal rules
  understanding, the better responsiveness and
  obtained message understanding (Exp.no.2)
• but .. We look for optimum
