Aim and Scope

The world is moving
 ahead fast technologically, however, we need to retain the human element and human control over computer and artificial intelligence systems. A collective intelligence consists of a large number of quasi-independent, stochastic agents, interacting locally both among them as well as with an active environment, in the absence of hierarchical organization, and yet which is capable of adaptive behavior. Collective Intelligence is dealt with an important issue: how new communications technologies are changing the way people work together. Collective intelligence is a perspective that can be applied to many different kinds of phenomena.  The aim of this special session is to provide an internationally respected forum for scientific research in the computer-based methods of collective intelligence, semantic web, and social network domains.

The topics of particular interest to the session include but are not limited to: 

• Collective Intelligence
• Computational Intelligence

·         Agent Theory and its Applications

• Data Mining for Social Networks
• Distributed Intelligence
• Theory, Applications, New Trends, Challenges of Social Networks
