Social Business Intelligence (SBI) relies on user-generated content to let decision-makers analyze their business in the light of the environmental trends. SBI projects come in a variety of shapes, with different demands. Hence, finding the right cost-benefit compromise depending on the project goals and time horizon and on the available resources may be hard for the designer. In this paper we ...

THISARTICLE PRESENTS A BRIEF CONSPECTUS of current issues in civilian competitive intelligence (CI). The authors note an extension of the concept beyond the traditional focus on business competition and highlight emergent tools and techniques (networking and groupware) which allow the concept to be more generally operationalized in terms of social advantage. They conclude with some reflections ...

Machine learning is the core of artificial intelligence. Letting machine learning be driven not only by individual goals, but by goals consistent with those of a coalition of agents, is very difficult. Successful inductive rules for agent behaviour are typically based on machine guesses, the quality of which are measured in terms of precise real numbers representing utility. Random guesses are ...

The social intelligence hypothesis posits that complex cognition and enlarged "executive brains" evolved in response to challenges that are associated with social complexity. This hypothesis has been well supported, but some recent data are inconsistent with its predictions. It is becoming increasingly clear that multiple selective agents, and non-selective constraints, must have acted to shape...

In this position paper, we define "Social Intelligence" and develop some examples of future information navigation services by autonomous software agents. We also discuss future directions for the development of software agents and their impact on human society. Our Definition of Social Intelligence In this section, we define the "Social Intelhgence" of software agents. In order to measure huma...

As computer systems are evolving and coming to be regarded as social actors, the importance of social intelligence that enables natural and socially appropriate interactions is gaining a growing interest among the human-computer interaction researchers. This article discusses the definition, importance, and benefits of social intelligence as agent technology. It then describes a collaborative l...

This study examined the relationship between postsecondary students’ emotional-social intelligence and attitudes toward computer-based instructional materials. Research indicated that emotions and emotional intelligence directly impact motivation, while instructional design has been shown to impact student attitudes and subsequent engagement with content. Computerbased technology is widely used...

In this paper we provide a foundation for a new generation of services and tools. We define new ways of capturing, sharing and reusing information and intelligence provided by single users and communities, as well as organizations by enabling the extraction, generation, interpretation and management of Collective Intelligence from user generated digital multimedia content. Different layers of i...
