论文摘要
本文介绍了一类新的社会技术系统，种间信息系统（IIS），描述了这些系统通过使用市售以数据驱动的动物为中心的技术而出现的几个示例。当以动物为中心的技术（例如宠物可穿戴设备，牛健康监测）甚至野生动物无人机捕获动物数据时，就会捕获动物数据，并告知人类采取行动以采取动物的行动，种间信息系统出现了。我讨论了将它们理解为信息系统而不是孤立的技术或技术介导的相互作用的重要性，并提出了一个概念模型，以捕获一般种间信息系统的关键组件和信息流。总结，我提出了成功设计，工程和使用动物数据为人类行动的任何种间信息系统所面临的多种实际挑战。
This article introduces a new class of socio-technical systems, interspecies information systems (IIS) by describing several examples of these systems emerging through the use of commercially available data-driven animal-centered technology. When animal-centered technology, such as pet wearables, cow health monitoring, or even wildlife drones captures animal data and inform humans of actions to take towards animals, interspecies information systems emerge. I discuss the importance of understanding them as information systems rather than isolated technology or technology-mediated interactions, and propose a conceptual model capturing the key components and information flow of a general interspecies information system. I conclude by proposing multiple practical challenges that are faced in the successful design, engineering and use of any interspecies information systems where animal data informs human actions.
