6. Science of Complex Systems for Socially Intelligent ICTThe rationale • Today’s ICT systems facilitate, enable and transform human relations forming “techno-social communities”: • large-scale systems involving distributed cooperation and coordination between both ICT and human elements. • systems in which ICT is tightly entangled with individual, social and business structures • mutually transform each other for instance through evolution of acceptance, trust, innovative uses and technology changes. • We do not understand these techno-social networks and their webs of cause/effect. • How do we engineer them to achieve socially beneficial and intelligent outcomes? The Science of Complex Systems offers solutions!

7. Science of Complex Systems for Socially Intelligent ICTResearch Objectives • Key concepts and tools for a data-intensive science of large scale techno-social systems, • systematic means to model, predict and characterise the behaviour, dynamics and evolution of these systems • Demonstration of the use of this understanding in novel paradigms and designs for socially intelligent ICT.

8. Science of Complex Systems forSocially Intelligent ICTResearch foci ‘Projects will integrate the following topics: • Theoretical and algorithmic foundations • Data-driven simulation • Prediction and predictability’

9. Science of Complex Systems forSocially Intelligent ICTResearch focus 1 Theoretical and algorithmic foundations for scaleable modelling and simulation of techno-social systems at different levels. • technological, psychological and social dimensions • realistic diversity of behaviours • knowledge on how humans and technologies relate to and impact on each other (e.g. acceptance, use, trust).

10. Science of Complex Systems forSocially Intelligent ICTResearch focus 2 Data-driven simulation • tools and techniques able to cope with huge sets of heterogeneous and often unreliable data to efficiently reconstruct dynamic techno-social system models at multiple levels. • This includes: • data-rich probing technologies, • protocols and experiments to gain realistic data on techno-social systems, • knowledge extraction based on scaleable and distributed methods.

11. Science of Complex Systems forSocially Intelligent ICTResearch focus 3 Prediction and predictability • mathematical and computational methods that help to characterize the nature and impact of transitions, novel properties and self-organising effects that can occur as systems massively scale up. Understanding the limits of predictability will allow reliable, quantitatively accurate predictions leading to strategies for better guided ICT induced transformation or for keeping systems in their viability domain.

13. Science of Complex Systems for Socially Intelligent ICTExpected impact • multidisciplinary understanding of the ways in which ICTbecomes part of the systems to which it is applied, and leads to better targeted deployment of these systems. • ability to predict and design new autonomous information/communication systems • by exploiting models of self-organisation, adaptability and social behaviour. • e.g. massive service economies and other technology-dependent experimental economic models, ICT mediated communities, P2P systems, emergency management and disaster relief systems. • support businesses and policy makers with best practices • with a clear and definable societal and economic added value • can contribute to solving long-term challenges such as sustainable growth, energy efficiency, or social inclusion.
