Rezgui, Amira, and Kevin Crowston. “Stigmergic Coordination in Wikipedia”. OpenSym, 2018, http://www.opensym.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/OpenSym2018_paper_34.pdf.
Abstract
<p>We examine a novel approach to coordination, namely stigmergic coordination, that is, coordination mediated by changes to a shared work product. Stigmergy stands in contrast to the two coordination approaches identified in the existing literature on coordination, explicit coordination, based on direct communication through discussion page or user talk pages, and implicit coordination, based on unspoken expectations and shared mental models of the task to be accomplished.
