This week we learn about computer-aid.
key point is "every digital media technology has an architecture using diagrams to compare physical architectures with digital architectures."
CSCW (computer-supported cooperative work)is a field of research and design.
Researchers in this field investigate how people work together in groups, and design computer-systems and networks to enable or facilitate group work.
CSCW is considered to a part of a larger field known as CHI or HCI: human-computer interaction design, evaluation, implementation, and study of interactive computing systems for human use.

we learn about CAD,CAM. It means people want sophisticated product.
First I'm not understand CAD,CAM. But in infancy I'm learn CAD.
in mainly, architectures are relative with media, people, computer. dr.yoon everyday says People make media and then media make people.
So people draw the many lines, connect the lines. surveillance is the close watch kept over someone or something. the panopticon is the history of surveillance. It was the dream of a transparent society, visible and legible in each of its parts, the dream of there no longer existing any zones of darkness, zones established by the privileges of royal power or the prerogatives of some corporation by Michel Foucault.

What is the architecture of cyberspace?
consider the hardware and software that links together(or separates) groups of people.
e.g the bandwidth of a network, the network protocols, document and link formats


Agre
-The surveillance model, Architectures of surveillance, The capture model& its relation to winograd and Flores.
Surveillance mean is close watch kept over someone or something.
Agre's"surveillance model"
-Visual metaphors.
-Assumption that watching is non-disruptive .
-Territorial metaphors as in the “invasion of private space”
-Centralized orchestration by means of a bureaucracy with a unified set of files .
-Identification with the state and malevolent aims of a specifically political nature.
Agre's"capture model"
-Linguistic metaphors for human activities as simulating them to the constructs of computer system’s representation languages.
-The assumption that the linguistic “parsing” of human activities involves active intervention and reorganization.
-Structural metaphors: the captured activity is figuratively assembled from a “catalog” of parts
decentralized and heterogeneous organization.
-Aims are market financed and operationally accomplished using a set of computational formalisms.


This week is very interesting. because I'm have an interesting computer.
next time we learn computer games. How do they work?
I really wonder how and about the computer games working.
So I'm really look forward to class. Thank you
