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.

Conflict Avoidance in Social Navigation—a Survey
A major goal in robotics is to enable intelligent mobile robots to operate smoothly in shared human-robot environments. One of the most fundamental capabilities in service of this goal is competent navigation in this “social” context. As a result, there ...
Social navigation research agenda
CHI EA '01: CHI '01 Extended Abstracts on Human Factors in Computing SystemsSocial navigation (SN) emerged as a marriage between one-user-one-system scenarios and CSCW. It is a design approach based on either visualizing traces of other users' activities or on direct or indirect communication between users, with the goal to ...
Social navigation of food recipes
CHI '01: Proceedings of the SIGCHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing SystemsThe term Social Navigation captures every-day behaviour used to find information, people, and places - namely through watching, following, and talking to people. We discuss how to design information spaces to allow for social navigation. We applied our ...
