Existing systems can be mapped on a 2-dimensional space determined by:

• Existing systems can be mapped on a 2-dimensional space determined by:

• Computational and data Intensiveness: different modes for capturing, storing, analyzing data and integrating with human activities, contexts and documents; exploiting results for provision of services

• Social inclusiveness: different forms of social information processing (e.g., blogs, wikis, SN platforms etc.) that involve –to various extents– large amounts of data from large amount of

• What is new?

Development of advanced mechanisms to combine human capabilities, computers and networks into new forms of human organization and social activity, e.g.

• Development of advanced mechanisms to combine human capabilities, computers and networks into new forms of human organization and social activity, e.g.

• network protocols including social rules, incentives;
• customizable computer programs

• Integration of social sciences/humanities and ICT – the former will determine the design of Social Computers and the Internet, the latter will implement it

• Development of new science, engineering and infrastructures that will provide unprecedented data to social sciences
