Overview
-----------------------------------------------------------
Smart communities are at the heart of social innovation. Based on
networks of people and knowledge, these communities are able to foster
the development of a collective intelligence. Through interaction, this
may produce more adequate decision making and improvement of all kinds
of processes – working, learning, policy definition, etc.
Smart communities analysis and benchmarking is of paramount importance
for gathering information, in order to investigate about their evolution
and for producing models of the social interaction, knowledge building
and learning which occur in it; the latter in return form the basis of
collective intelligence.
Natural language processing techniques, social networks analysis and
other analytics tools concur to outline a comprehensive toolkit aimed at
capturing the multiple facets of social interaction and of learning
processes that take place within smart communities and can be used also
to provide in-depth understanding of fundamental notions such as:
identity, privacy, relationships, culture, knowledge building,
reputation, motivations, responsibility, attention, safety and fairness
that constitute the ground values of societies.
In this context, our aim consists of stimulating inter-disciplinary
contributions in the domains of informatics (focusing on adaptive and
collaborative technologies), sociology, educational sciences, cognitive
psychology, etc. to get a deeper insight of smart communities.
