The AMIGO Project: advanced group communication model for computer-based communications environment

Authors Info & Claims
Published:03 December 1986Publication History

ABSTRACT

In this paper we discuss and elaborate on the conceptual requirements as well as the tools of the General AMIGO Model for group communication. The special features of the model are examined with particular reference to the social and ethical implications in the communication process. The applicability of the AMIGO Model is demonstrated by examples, and we give indications of further work to refine and advance the model.
