Context-aware module for social computing environments

Abstract

The continuous evolution of the information and telecommunication technologies has led to new forms of social interaction, including social networks. Social interaction is a new paradigm that studies the use of information technologies with social purposes. Social computing envisions a new kind of computation where humans and machines collaborate to compute and resolve a problem. In this paper we present a context-aware module for the PANGEA architecture that incorporates contextual information to enrich the social knowledge representation.
