Processing Collective Knowledge from Autonomous Individuals: A Literature Review

  • Conference paper

  • 1483 Accesses

Part of the book series: Advances in Intelligent Systems and Computing ((AISC,volume 282))

Abstract

In recent years, Collective Intelligence is one of the major research subjects in Computer Science. Determining knowledge of a collective is one of the most important issues and has been considered as a subfield of Collective Intelligence. In this paper, we present a literature review on the research progress related to determining collective knowledge from autonomous indidviduals. For this aim, we will analyze some related works on determining representation of a collective, team or group knowledge, and collective intelligence. Finally, some conclusions and future directions are presented.
