Influence of interpersonal perception on information and knowledge sharing in e-learning networks

Abstract

This paper is one of a series describing elemental parts of a project on modelling information and knowledge diffusion in social networks. The projects objective is to develop methodological starting points and a prototype of an Agent-Based Simulation for simulating the spread of shared information in a social network. In this paper we describe an approach for specifying the difference between self- and interpersonal perception, which influences the sharing of information / knowledge through social networks.
