Following up on the work of the Electronic Information Exchange System (EIES) of the mid-1970s to early 1990s, inXys presents a communication model that is uncommon on the Internet today. Many of today's information systems follow the simple forum model that lends to a free-for-all discussion format. To offer an alternative to the forum model, inXys leverages what we had learned in our prior research of connectivity and information systems to create a better system.
The Information Exchange is a public forum, open to all, based on the work originally done by Murray Turoff and Starr Roxanne Hiltz on the Electronic Information Exchange System and the many contributions by the staff of the Computerized Conferencing and Communications Center at New Jersey Institute of Technology.
Our mission is to facilitate the free exchange of ideas and a strong sense of community. We encourage diversity, inclusion, and respect for all.
We respect all ideas, all opinions, no matter the source. However, we will filter out deliberate acts of harm and deceit, no matter who authors it.
