Participatory Modeling - Continuous Modeling

Continuous Modeling

Continuous modeling focus on the end-user being the active modeler. This can be incorporated into an adaptable, context-sensitive, "intelligent" system, which is suited to the end-user on an individual level, this combination is often termed model generated workplaces or model generated user environments.

The idea is that the end-user potentially has the greatest actual domain knowledge and thus the organization as a whole benefits by obtaining and externalize this knowledge.

Famous quotes containing the words continuous and/or modeling:

    The gap between ideals and actualities, between dreams and achievements, the gap that can spur strong men to increased exertions, but can break the spirit of others—this gap is the most conspicuous, continuous land mark in American history. It is conspicuous and continuous not because Americans achieve little, but because they dream grandly. The gap is a standing reproach to Americans; but it marks them off as a special and singularly admirable community among the world’s peoples.
    George F. Will (b. 1941)

    The computer takes up where psychoanalysis left off. It takes the ideas of a decentered self and makes it more concrete by modeling mind as a multiprocessing machine.
    Sherry Turkle (b. 1948)
