Communication Instance

A Communication Instance is an information exchange instance that can be used to create communication records (that document cognitive agent interactions through message transmission events).

• AKA: Communication Event, Communication Occurrence, Message Exchange Instance.
• Context:
  • It can typically manifest Message Content through communication symbols, communication encodings, and communication formats.
  • It can typically involve Communication Participants through communication senders, communication receivers, and communication intermediaries.
  • It can typically occur within Communication Contexts through communication settings, communication timings, and communication circumstances.
  • It can typically utilize Communication Channels through communication medium selection, communication pathways, and communication infrastructures.
  • It can typically follow Communication Protocols through communication conventions, communication rules, and communication standards.
  • ...
  • It can often exhibit Communication Characteristics through communication clarity, communication completeness, and communication effectiveness.
  • It can often generate Communication Outcomes through communication understanding, communication responses, and communication impacts.
  • It can often create Communication Artifacts through communication transcripts, communication recordings, and communication documentation.
  • It can often involve Communication Feedback through communication acknowledgments, communication clarifications, and communication confirmations.
  • ...
  • It can range from being a Brief Communication Instance to being an Extended Communication Instance, depending on its communication instance duration.
  • It can range from being a Simple Communication Instance to being a Complex Communication Instance, depending on its communication instance structural complexity.
  • It can range from being a Successful Communication Instance to being a Failed Communication Instance, depending on its communication instance effectiveness level.
  • It can range from being a Private Communication Instance to being a Public Communication Instance, depending on its communication instance accessibility scope.
  • It can range from being a Spontaneous Communication Instance to being a Planned Communication Instance, depending on its communication instance preparation level.
  • It can range from being a Verbal Communication Instance to being a Non-Verbal Communication Instance, depending on its communication instance symbol system.
  • It can range from being a Direct Communication Instance to being a Mediated Communication Instance, depending on its communication instance transmission mode.
  • ...
  • It can be produced by Communication Tasks during communication activitys.
  • It can be analyzed through Communication Analysis Methods for communication pattern identification.
  • It can be evaluated using Communication Effectiveness Measures for communication quality assessment.
  • It can be stored in Communication Systems for communication history preservation.
  • ...
• Example(s):
  • Linguistic Communication Instances, such as:
    • Spoken Communication Instances (of oral communication instances) demonstrating communication instance verbal exchange.
    • Written Communication Instances (of textual communication instances) demonstrating communication instance documented exchange.
    • Sign Language Communication Instances (of gestural communication instances) demonstrating communication instance visual-manual exchange.
  • Digital Communication Instances, such as:
    • Email Communication Instances (of electronic mail instances) demonstrating communication instance asynchronous exchange.
    • Instant Message Communication Instances (of real-time messaging instances) demonstrating communication instance synchronous exchange.
    • Social Media Communication Instances (of social platform instances) demonstrating communication instance networked exchange.
    • Video Conference Communication Instances (of virtual meeting instances) demonstrating communication instance multimodal exchange.
  • Professional Communication Instances, such as:
    • Business Communication Instances (of corporate communication instances) demonstrating communication instance organizational exchange.
    • Medical Communication Instances (of healthcare communication instances) demonstrating communication instance clinical exchange.
    • Legal Communication Instances (of juridical communication instances) demonstrating communication instance regulatory exchange.
    • Academic Communication Instances (of scholarly communication instances) demonstrating communication instance knowledge exchange.
  • Mass Communication Instances, such as:
    • Broadcast Communication Instances (of media transmission instances) demonstrating communication instance one-to-many exchange.
    • Publication Communication Instances (of distributed content instances) demonstrating communication instance persistent exchange.
    • Advertising Communication Instances (of commercial messaging instances) demonstrating communication instance promotional exchange.
  • Interpersonal Communication Instances, such as:
    • Conversation Communication Instances (of dialogue instances) demonstrating communication instance interactive exchange.
    • Negotiation Communication Instances (of bargaining instances) demonstrating communication instance strategic exchange.
    • Counseling Communication Instances (of therapeutic dialogue instances) demonstrating communication instance supportive exchange.
  • Specialized Communication Instances, such as:
    • Crisis Communication Instances (of emergency messaging instances) demonstrating communication instance urgent exchange.
    • Persuasive Communication Instances (of influence attempt instances) demonstrating communication instance goal-oriented exchange.
    • Technical Communication Instances (of specialized information instances) demonstrating communication instance domain-specific exchange.
  • ...
• Counter-Example(s):
  • Information Storage Events, which lack communication instance participant interaction and communication instance message exchange.
  • Signal Transmission Events, which lack communication instance semantic content and communication instance meaningful interpretation.
  • Data Processing Events, which lack communication instance cognitive agent involvement and communication instance communicative intent.
  • Thought Processes, which lack communication instance external expression and communication instance receiver participation.
  • Automated System Logs, which lack communication instance purposeful exchange and communication instance agent-to-agent interaction.
