“…La primera recoge una serie de autores preocupados por esclarecer las limitaciones que los nuevos entornos introducen en la interacción. En estos casos siempre se tiene como punto de partida la riqueza del cara-a-cara y la complejidad de las relaciones presenciales (Baym, 1998;Rudy, 1994;. La segunda sugiere, desde hace unos años, que los entornos virtuales constituyen un campo nuevo de exploración para el pensamiento social.…”

Resumen AbstractEn el ámbito del pensamiento social existe ya una amplia literatura sobre el fenómeno de Internet. Una parte importante de la misma está dedicada al examen de la interacción en espacios como foros, chats, etc. Tales análisis se agrupan en dos grandes constelaciones. La primera recoge una serie de autores preocupados por esclarecer las limitaciones que los nuevos entornos introducen en la interacción. En estos casos siempre se tiene como punto de partida la riqueza del cara-a-cara y la complejidad de las relaciones presenciales. La segunda sugiere que los entornos virtuales constituyen un campo nuevo de expresión de la interacción, que antes que limitar complementa la presencial. Nuestro trabajo se inscribe en esa línea de investigaciones y plantea una discusión crítica con la primera postura. El análisis utiliza parte de los resultados obtenidos en una etnografía virtual. Éste es un examen del desarrollo de secuencias interactivas en un entorno virtual determinado: el foro de los estudios de "Humanitats i Filologia Catalana" de la Universitat Oberta de Catalunya (UOC). There is an significant literature in the social sciences about the internet. A lot of it is dedicated to understanding interaction in virtual spaces

Abstract:The consensus reaching process is the most important step in a group decision making scenario. This step is most frequently identified as a process consisting of some discussion rounds in which several decision makers, which are involved in the problem, discuss their points of view with the purpose of obtaining the maximum agreement before making the decision. Consensus reaching processes have been well studied and a large number of consensus approaches have been developed. In recent years, the researchers in the field of decision making have shown their interest in social networks since they may be successfully used for modelling communication among decision makers. However, a social network presents some features differentiating it from the classical scenarios in which the consensus reaching processes have been applied. The objective of this study is to investigate the main consensus methods proposed in social networks and bring out the new challenges that should be faced in this research field.

“…Not only can people create and sustain strong ties through electronic media (e.g. Baym, 1998;Patterson 1996;Rheingold, 1993) but they can use electronic media to maintain offline relations (Wellman, 1996) and can successfully integrate relations that began online to include offline communications as well (Parks & Floyd, 1996). Members of communities are using a greater number of technologies to keep in touch.…”

“…In online communities, members share an online area for at least some of the time (Rheingold, 1993;Baym, 1998;Preece & Ghozati, 1998b). Indeed, one aspect of developing digital communities is to provide members with a shared online area in which to congregate and share ideas, opinions etc.…”
