Abstract
Some of the most peculiar traits of socio-technical KIE (knowledge-intensive environments) – such as unpredictability of agents’ behaviour, ever-growing amount of information to manage, fast-paced production/consumption – tangle coordination of information, by affecting, e.g., reachability by knowledge prosumers and manageability by the IT infrastructure. Here, we propose a novel approach to coordination in KIE, by extending the \({MoK}\) model for knowledge self-organisation with key concepts from the cognitive theory of BIC (behavioural implicit communication).
