Abstract

The term social navigation refers to the process of seeking social interaction as a source of navigational support. In this paper we present a computational model of social navigation as an extension to an existing conceptual, non-computational model of general navigation. We argue that such models are important in designing effective shared environments for information navigation. We describe support for the model with a simulation environment for social navigation and an analytical model that addresses some of the quantitative implications of social interaction on the process.
