Who are these specialists
Social Informatics (SI) is defined as the field of study that seeks to understand how the computational sciences and digital technologies shape society and human experience, and how society and culture, in turn, shape the development of science and technology.
Community Informatics (CI)
ICT4D
Collective Intelligence (CI) research investigates the design of infrastructures to enable collectives to think and act intelligently, and intriguingly, more intelligently than individuals. Technologies such as idea management or argumentation tools, blogs, wikis, chats, forums, Q&A sites, and social networks provide unprecedented opportunities for entire communities or organizations to express a discourse and act at a massive scale, but very little is known on:
· When does effective discourse help a collective outperform individuals?
· What functions should the next generation of social platforms support?
· How can we allow communities to efficiently manage many diverse ideas, argument, and deliberate?
· What patterns in discourse and action can be modelled computationally?
