Opis

The book focuses on Social Collective Intelligence, a term used to denote a class of socio-technical systems that combine, in a coordinated way, the strengths of humans, machines and collectives in terms of competences, knowledge and problem solving capabilities with the communication, computing and storage capabilities of advanced ICT. Social Collective Intelligence opens a number of challenges for researchers in both computer science and social sciences; at the same time it provides an innovative approach to solve challenges in diverse application domains, ranging from health to education and organization of work. The book will provide a cohesive and holistic treatment of Social Collective Intelligence, including challenges emerging in various disciplines (computer science, sociology, ethics) and opportunities for innovating in various application areas. By going through the book the reader will gauge insight and knowledge into the challenges and opportunities provided by this new, exciting, field of investigation. Benefits for scientists will be in terms of accessing a comprehensive treatment of the open research challenges in a multidisciplinary perspective.Benefits for practitioners and applied researchers will be in terms of access to novel approaches to tackle relevant problems in their field. Benefits for policy-makers and public bodies representatives will be in terms of understanding how technological advances can support them in supporting the progress of society and economy.

Recenzje

"The volume aims at endorsing a style of research development and a research culture oriented towards making the society smarter and safer. ... it offers knowledge, information and high-level expertise in a new area of study widely open for students in social and political sciences as well as in computer sciences and the sciences of the artificial: artificial intelligence, artificial life, machine learning, artificial autonomous agents, agent-based systems or complex adaptive systems." (Camelia Florela Voinea, JASSS, jasss.soc.surrey.ac.uk, Vol. 21 (1), 2018)

"The book offers very interesting material for a wide range of readers: researchers, PhD students, and practitioners in multidisciplinary research areas that include intelligent systems. The presented topic is contemporary and attractive, and offers innovative ideas, open questions, and challenges for future research. The physical and technical quality of the book is very good." (M. Ivanovic, Computing Reviews, February, 2015)
