Workshop on Collective Intelligence

Web 2.0和大规模分布式贡献者系统的兴起正在为一个新的跨学科领域创造机会，这个领域的主题是集体智慧。就像认知科学在20世纪70年代开始一样，这个新领域可能有助于分享来自各种不同领域的观点和结果。在集体智慧的情况下，潜在的相关学科包括计算机科学，组织理论，社会心理学，经济学等。该研讨会将制定一个研究议程，涵盖集体智慧的重要方面，例如：如何定义和衡量集体智慧，如何激励参与者成为智慧集体的一部分，参与者之间不同的联系模式（即，网络科学），哪些问题适合用集体智慧的方法来解决，以及成功系统的共同设计模式是什么。集体智慧研讨会将促进以下方面的广泛影响：（a）凝聚来自不同学科和观点的人的社区，（B）就如何将集体智慧定义为一个领域以及该领域的核心主题达成共识，（c）建立该领域的初步研究议程，（d）促进在一个或多个高质量期刊上发表关于该领域前景的文章。

The rise of Web 2.0 and large-scale distributed contributor systems is generating opportunities for a new interdisciplinary field on the topic of collective intelligence. Like cognitive science did beginning in the 1970's, this new field may help share perspectives and results from a variety of different fields. In the case of collective intelligence, potentially relevant disciplines include computer science, organization theory, social psychology, economics, and others. This workshop will frame a research agenda covering important aspects of collective intelligence such as: how to define and measure collective intelligence, how to motivate participants to form part of an intelligent collective, what is the effect of different patterns of connection among the participants (i.e., network science), what problems are well-suited to be attacked by a collective intelligence approach, and what are common design patterns among successful systems.The workshop on collective intelligence will facilitate broader impacts in: (a) coalescing a community of people from different disciplines and perspectives, (b) initiating consensus on how to define collective intelligence as a field and the topics that should be central within it, (c) establish a preliminary research agenda for the field, and (d) catalyze publications about the prospects for this field in one or more high quality journals.
