WEB BASED HARNESSING OF HUMAN COLLECTIVE INTELLIGENCE

Web based communication is creating unprecedented opportunities for aggregation of knowledge from large distributed groups of Internet users. Attempts to exploit web based resources vary in scale and complexity (e.g. Crowdsourcing, micro-outsourcing, open innovation etc) presenting new challenges for technologists and social scientists who are working to develop the supporting organisational systems and infrastructures.

New computational frontiers are pushed by the proliferation of easily accessible and intuitive web based social software tools and environments that enable multitudes of people to connect, communicate and exchange information and knowledge in near real time, thus creating a platform for 'collective intelligence (CI) to be leveraged.

This track aims to promote a sound interdisciplinary framework for the field of CI, harnessing from different areas of research, grounded in the respective scientific theories, and capable of encompassing different perspectives: socio-political, technical, scientific.

We encourage original and quality contributions including (but not limited to) the following research areas:

• Domain definition of collective intelligence (what is CI?)
• Evolution of CI - practices, case studies (e.g. from Crowdsourcing to Collaborative Communities and Open calls)
• Tools and techniques to support CI (programming and designing of collaboration)
• Social and behavioural dynamics related to CI, within the context of IT
• Impact of CI on advancement of interdisciplinarity
• CI Projects and results (both positive and negative)
• Theories and Scientific Methods pertaining CI
• Statistical Methods for Knowledge aggregation
• Expertise finding
