社会计算——科学、技术与人文的数字化动态交融

Social Computing: A Digital and Dynamical Integration of Science, Technology, and Human and Social Studies

本文通过社会计算的研究,探讨了科学、技术和人文有机组合的途径。主要内容是讨论如何利用复杂系统理论及先进的计算手段和方法,把传统上限于语言层次和静态的人文知识数字化和动态化,并用于各种复杂社会问题的建模、分析和决策支持。主要思想包括利用人工系统、计算试验和平行系统等方法,建立社会计算的理论框架。

This paper discusses issues related to the integration of science, technology, and human and social studies in social computing. The main concern here is how to apply theories and methods in complex systems and advanced computing technology in modeling, analysis, and decision support of complex social problems so that the static and linguistic knowledge in traditional social literatures and studies can use utilized in a digital and dynamic fashion. A theoretical framework for social computing research has been proposed based on the computational theory of complex systems, i. e. , artificial societies, computational experiments and parallel systems.
