Bases metodológicas para arquitetura da informação pervasiva

Abstract

Nowadays, information and technological artifacts occupy key place in human and social relations. There is one scenario that results from advances in the technique and technology, enabling a wide production of technological artifacts increasingly integrated into everyday life. A movement of integration of physical environments to digital information environments, construction of hybrid technology environments and design of cross-channel experiences emerges, stimulating the debate on Pervasive Information Architecture. This study objective is to present a methodological foundation for Pervasive Information Architecture as a contribution to the research and design of complex informational ecologies. The research can be classified as literature and methodological, uses qualitative approach of analysis and is epistemologically based on phenomenology and systemism. Presents as result an iterative methodology for Pervasive Information Architecture, based in seven steps: phenomenology of context, mapping essences, complex relationships, ecology definition, ecology patterns, implementation and evaluation. The methodology presented is general and contextual, can be adapted and applied in specific contexts.
