Social Concepts in Self-organising Systems

چکیده
This report documents the program and the outcomes of Dagstuhl Seminar 15482 “Social Concepts in Self-organising Systems”. The seminar brought together researchers from computer sciences (in particular from the fields of multi-agent systems and self-organisation) and from social sciences to discuss the impact of the use of social concepts in technical systems as well as the interaction between technical and social systems. In an engaging and interactive setting, the problem was illuminated from a technical as well as a philosophical and legal point of view. The talks, discussions, and working groups identified a growing body of work in the field, a number of interesting and promising research avenues, as well as a set of open issues for future investigation. Seminar November 22–27, 2015 – http://www.dagstuhl.de/15482 1998 ACM Subject Classification H.1.2 User/Machine Systems, I.2.11 Distributed Artificial Intelligence, K.4 Computers and Society

Self-Organising Mechanisms from Social and Business/Economics Approaches
This paper discusses examples of socially inspired self-organisation approaches and their use to build socially-aware, self-organising computing systems. The paper presents different mechanisms originating from existing social systems, such as stigmergy from social insects behaviours, epidemic spreading, gossiping, trust and reputation inspired by human social behaviours, as well as other appro...
متن کاملCurrent Research in Social Psychology
We present an alternative view to the dominant discourse in scientific psychology, where researchers are concerned primarily with predictability of phenomena based largely on simple tests of linear relation. Instead, the time-dependent and evolving nature of social experience and interaction can be examined using the methodology of nonlinear dynamical systems theory (NDS). We review relevant co...
متن کاملThird International Workshop on Self-Adaptive and Self-Organising Socio-Technical Systems (SASO2015)
The design and operation of computer systems has traditionally been driven by technical aspects and considerations. However, the usage characteristics of information and communication systems are both implicitly and explicitly determined by social interaction. This requires taking into account different types of relationships, such as trust or affinity, between the users and system components. ...
متن کاملEvolutionary Swarm Robotics: a theoretical and methodological itinerary from individual neuro-controllers to collective behaviours
In the last decade, swarm robotics gathered much attention in the research community. By drawing inspiration from social insects and other self-organising systems, it focuses on large robot groups featuring distributed control, adaptation, high robustness and flexibility. Various reasons lay behind this interest in similar multi-robot systems. Above all, inspiration comes from the observation o...
متن کاملA self-organising view of manufacturing enterprises
Enterprises serve a purpose that is largely the reason as well as the result of its existence in a form that is most amenable for its sustenance. Despite this fact, seldom is the case that enterprises are designed or operated in a way that will bring out the best of its capabilities. The structure, normally designed by an external agency and to satisfy some instant of a future in mind is quite ...
