Instances of subconscious social intelligent computing
Manuel Graña, University of the Basque Country, Spain

[Abstract] This talk presents several novel ideas on how to understand social interaction as an intelligent computing phenomena, proposing a taxonomy of social systems regarding intelligent behavior that may be useful to set the stage. A key distinction between unconscious and subconscious computing is drawn. Two instances of systems, which are in diverse stages of development, showing subconscious social intelligent computing are discussed.
