 Towards a Science of Socially Intelligent ICT

In 2009 the Future & Emerging Technology unit (FET) of the European Commission launched its COSI-ICT proactive work programme  – Science of Complex Systems for Socially Intelligence ICT.

Target outcome: Key concepts and tools for a data-intensive science of large scale techno-social systems, i.e., systems in which ICT is tightly entangled with human, social and business structures which, as a result, mutually transform each other for instance through evolution of acceptance, trust, innovative uses and technology changes.

This workshop is the first in a series intended to formulate a systematic theory of ICT-federated
‘social intelligence’ and engineering principles for applications.  It focuses on the questions:

What is ICT-enabled ‘Social Intelligence' ?

What theory(s) exists on Socially Intelligent ICT ?

Engineering principles for SocialIy Intelligent ICT?
