Integrated model of a social navigation system with self-adaptive feedback control mechanism

Abstract

This paper presents a model of a navigation system in a public information system, that can be used to improve the structure and content of the information repository via selforganization capabilities based on social interaction. This model has the primary goal of establishing a generic and adaptive socialbased self-structuring navigation system. To achieve this goal, the model integrates the concepts of social navigation, interaction and self-adaptivity in a feedback control loop. The model gives focus on self-adaptivity and includes elements of social navigation in all parts of the system which enables the implementations based on this model to get social adaptability based on user actions individually, but also as a social environment, in every possible aspect of the functioning of the system. The introduced feedback control loop gives possibility for further autonomous improvements of the organization of the information.
