| | Scientific community metaphor - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | The Scientific Community Metaphor builds on the philosophy, history and sociology of science with its analysis that scientific research depends critically on monotonicity, concurrency, commutativity, and pluralism to propose, modify, support, and oppose scientific methods, practices, and theories. |
 | | The first publications on the Scientific Community Metaphor (Bill Kornfeld and Carl Hewitt 1981, Kornfeld 1981, Kornfeld 1982) involved the development of a programming language named Ether that invoked procedural plans to process goals and assertions concurrently by dynamically creating new rules during program execution. |
 | | Scientific communities are structured to support competition as well as cooperation. |
