COLLIN2011
2nd Symposium on Collective Intelligence
http://www.fernuni-hagen.de/collin2011/

9-10 June 2011
Seoul National University, Seoul, South-Korea

Important Dates:
Deadline for submission of papers: 15 April 2011
Notification of the authors: 1 May 2011
Submission of final version (camera-ready papers): 21 May 2011
Symposium: 9-10 June 2011

Proceedings and Special Issue Journal:
- All submissions will be peer-reviewed.
- Accepted papers are published in the conference proceedings (Springer Advances in Intelligent and Soft Computing).
- A Special Issue on collective intelligence with high-quality conference papers is planned in the International Journal on
  Semantic Web and Information Systems (SCIE).

Scope:
Collective intelligence describes the mechanisms that enable the crowd of customers to design products, to choose the portfolio of products, and to influence marketing. Collective Intelligence has seen a surge during the last years through the emergence of new information technology, allowing a large number of people that are not required to be geographically close, to be reached. Besides, it also offers many possibilities for learning and communication for the society as a whole as well as for individuals. Collective behavior offers a high potential for value creation in different areas. The business world can use collective intelligence to develop innovative products or to create new business models. Moreover, research can benefit from collective intelligence. Collective behavior can support the creation of knowledge as well as the discovery of creative solutions.

However, the potential of collective behavior and collective intelligence in the context of value creation is widely unexplored. To harness this potential, it is important to understand the basic concepts, features and mechanism of collective intelligence based on interdisciplinary research. The results of these investigations would be used to build systems, fostering collective Intelligence.
Since collective intelligence requires interdisciplinary expertise, the COLLIN focuses on different research areas, ranging from economics, informatics, psychology to sociology. This symposium is understood as a platform for sharing ideas and information between scientists and also between scientists and practitioners. This second symposium on collective intelligence will take place from June 9 to June 10, 2011 at Seoul National University, Seoul, South Korea. We kindly invite authors from either a theoretical or practical background to submit papers. The papers have to be submitted in English.

The symposium will address topics such as:
•    Technology-enhanced learning in education and training
•    Knowledge construction and development of competencies in knowledge networks
•    Distributed decision making
•    Web-based collective intelligence in innovation processes
•    Assessment factors, performance evaluation, and building blocks of collective-intelligence-systems
•    Pedagogical and didactical opportunities for technology-enhanced learning and teaching
•    Knowledge construction and interaction, communication and collaboration in learning tasks
•    Collaboration in communities and open networks
•    Instructional design models and principles
•    New trends in educational technology (Web 2.0, Open Educational Resources, Mobile learning)
•    Required competencies for learning, teaching and tutoring in technology-enhanced networks
•    Support systems for students and teachers
•    Technical systems for the support of lifelong-learning, on demand learning and knowledge sharing
•    Change management, implementation and dissemination of innovation in education and training
•    Quality-management systems for technology enhanced learning
•    Assessment methods
•    Methods and designs to use collective intelligence for value creation
•    Categorization of mechanisms of web-based collective intelligence
•    Business models for the harnessing of collective intelligence
