Some effects of prolonged experience in communication nets

Abstract

Comcon (all can communicate to each), star (all communicate to one) and slash (each can communicate to several, but not to all) communication nets were studied with respect to their effects on group behavior when groups were required to operate in the same net over a period of several days. While the comcon groups developed predominantly an "each-to-all" organization, and the star a "central" organization, the slash appeared to be completely disorganized.
