Please help us get the word out, consider submitting a paper, and/or sharing with colleagues who may have work in this area Best seasons geetings as well! PDM *IEEE DEST 2010* *Special Track: 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. Indeed the vast network of "HPU"s (human processing units) available on the web offers ways to exceed the limits of what can be computed algorithmically, and possibly even ‘compute the uncomputable’. More advanced computational techniques including what referred to as ‘semantic technologies’, are expected to increase this potential exponentially. While a universally accepted model and definition of 'Collective intelligence', has not yet emerged, examples of web based collective intelligence, can be found in different disciplines (from image classification to economic development and governance), 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 inter- and multi- disciplinary approaches that cover more than one aspect of CI and 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 * * *Track Chairs: Paola Di Maio, Jonathan Corney* *Submission deadline 1 February 2010,* here: http://dest2010.debii.curtin.edu.au/index.php/paper-submissions- *Conference website:* http://dest2010.debii.curtin.edu.au/ (please note track info on the website may not yet be up to date) We are on Facebook http://www.facebook.com/reqs.php#/event.php?eid=194421837556&ref=ts -- Paola Di Maio ************************************************** “Logic will get you from A to B.
