Social intelligence design (SID) is one of an emerging cluster of approaches, originating in different disciplines and application domains that attempt to bring together three distinct realms: mind (cognition, intelligence), society (social interaction, organizations, institutions), and matter (objects, tools, technologies).
Understandig mediated communication - the social intelligence design approach
In the information society, new technologies have a huge impact on the way people work, interact, and communicate. New technologies such as social intelligent agents, collaborative virtual and information environments, personalized information tools, and interactive community media, are rapidly changing our language, the way we work together, and our lifestyle in general. The papers in this special issue are focused on the significance of such technologies in our lives, the way we work, learn, and play at home, office, school, or on the move, and, in particular, on the ways new technologies mediate human communication and collaboration across geographical and cultural divides.
1. Theoretical aspects of SID
(a) Understanding group dynamics of knowledge creation
(b) Understanding consensus formation process
(c) Theory of common ground in language use
(d) Attachment-based learning for social learning
2. Methods of establishing the social context
(a) Awareness of connectedness
(b) Circulating personal views
(c) Sharing stories
3. Embodied conversational agents and social intelligence
(a) Knowledge exchange by virtualized egos
(b) Conversational agents for mediating discussions
(c) A virtual world habited by autonomous conversational agents
(d) Social learning with a conversational interface
(e) Conversations as a principle of designing complex systems
(f) Artifacts capable of making embodied communication
4. Collaboration design
(a) Integrating the physical space, electronic content, and interaction
(b) Using multi-agent systems to help people in a complex situation
(c) Evaluating communication infrastructure in terms of collaboration
support
5. Public discourse
(a) Visualization
(b) Social awareness support
(c) Integrating surveys, delphis, and mediation for democratic participation
6. Evaluation of social intelligence
(a) Network analysis
(b) Hybrid method.
