Social intelligence design and human computing

Abstract

The central concern of Social Intelligence Design is the under-standing and augmentation of social intelligence that might be attributed to both an individual and a group. Social Intelligence Design addresses understanding and augmentation of social intelligence resulting from bilateral interaction of intelligence attributed to an individual to coordinate her/his behavior with others in a society and that attributed to a collection of individuals to achieve goals as a whole and learn from experiences. Social intelligence can be addressed from multiple perspectives. In this chapter, I will focus on three aspects. First, I highlight interaction from the social discourse perspective in which social intelligence manifests in rapid interaction in a small group. Second, I look at the community media and social interaction in the large, where slow and massive interaction takes place in a large collection of people. Third, I survey work on social artifacts that embody social intelligence. Finally, I attempt to provide a structured view of the field. © 2007 Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg.
