Most evaluations were compliant with principle 1 (defining communication objectives), principle 2 (combining evaluation methods), principle 4 (focusing on outcomes) and principle 5 (evaluating for continued improvement).
An environment for developers and researchers to test and validate their applications on a well defined communication architecture.
The key contributions of our work are as follows: An environment for developers and researchers to test and validate their applications on a well defined communication architecture.
Clark and Brennan (1991) defined communication as a collective activity that "requires the coordinated action of all the participants.
Finally, a system consists of different modules each running at their own clock and communicating by the defined communication devices.
Accordingly, we define communication efficiency as delivering a message to a receiver with high quality and with minimal time, cost, effort, and resources required to establish communication.
The Mediacup and other computer-augmented everyday artefacts are connected through a network infrastructure supporting loosely coupled spatially defined communication.
Four descriptive studies defined communication among users as a very important factor contributing to the user acceptance of these systems [ 24- 26, 66].
Twelve studies defined communication among users as a factor affecting the adoption of electronic health records [ 2, 7, 24- 26, 45, 46, 51, 52, 66, 75, 87].
Luhmann (1988a, p. 299), for instance, defines "communication" as the most basic element of a social system.
However, this communication is mediated by an interceptor that hides the guardian member logic, and the defined communication model is held: participants ↔ guardian members, guardian members ↔ guardian group.
