Social Computing
Humans are 'bio-social'. This means that throughtout human life every individual develops the abilities to interact with one another. This is phenomena means 'social development'.
Social computing is an area of technology that presumes the development of information systems that make socially produced information available to users. This information may be provided directly, as when systems show the number of users who have rated a review as helpful or not.
The cornerstone of this paradigm is that target audience is always a social group, with social behaviour. Social computing system gather, filter, process, use informations, distributes across these social groups. This information is proven, not anonimous and significantly precise, because it is linked to individuals within socila groups.
Having a crisp and clear understanding of social behaviour and social computing paradigm, EuroATS has been engaged in the design and development of 2 next generation social computing systems: (e)-motional and PeoplePower
