SID 2006: Social Intelligence Design 2006
(March 24-26, 2006 @ Osaka)
Finished with huge success! Thank you very much for your participation!!
SID 2006 is the fifth International Workshop Series on Social Intelligence Design focused on the impact and significance of information technology in our lives, work, home, and on the move. In this workshop we consider Social Intelligence (SI) as the ability for people to relate to, understand and interact effectively with others. The central question is how SI is mediated through the use of emerging technologies.
We focus on three key factors in SID2006:
+Development, operation, and evaluation of support systems or tools for SID
+Observation and modeling of psychological and behavioral processes of e-community
+Social intelligence design by pilot program and computer-aided simulation.
We would like to emphasize the role of SID2006 as a junction between engineering researchers and social scientists and for both productive research activities and significant social contributions under a common goal for exploring SID in our real world. If engineering researchers and social scientists know needs and seeds of their research each other, there would emerge a new idea, which leads to novel "social intelligence" as unique research findings. So far at least engineering researchers have tended to look at only system or product design, whereas social scientists have tended to only look at mental or behavioral modeling for individual or interpersonal behavior mostly in lab experiment. Based on robust achievement of our these previous studies, now is the time to apply them to our real world and explore a new research development by measuring and analyzing actual social phenomenon.
