From ancient abacuses to modern computers, our desire for more power in computing and drive for its deep application seem endless. First we saw the emergence of scientific computing after ENIAC, and then the tide of bio- and medical informatics in 1980s. Today, the wave of virtual worlds and the real force inside the Web have pushed us beyond the physical space to a new direction in computing: social...
In a sense, social computing is a new research field with a long history. Its origins trace back to the beginning of modern computing and landmark work such as Vannevar Bush's Memex, Douglas Engelbart's vision for integrating psychology and organizational development with computer technology advances, and J.C.R. Licklider's emphasis on computers as communication devices, not computing machines. Over...
Social computing represents a new computing paradigm and an interdisciplinary research and application field. Undoubtedly, it strongly influences system and software developments in the years to come. We expect that social computing's scope continues to expand and its applications multiply. From both theoretical and technological perspectives, social computing technologies moves beyond social information...
