Social Computing Lab
Overview
The Social Computing Lab focuses on methods for harvesting the collective intelligence of groups of people in order to realize greater value from the interaction between users and information.
Our research includes collective intelligence (“wisdom of the crowd”), incentive design for accessing resources, social networks and their implications for information dissemination and collective attention.
We are creating new information services that dynamically respond to fluid content creation and consumption.
SCL is the birthplace of HP Gloe, a service that allows you to find and recommend local Web content on mobile devices. It can be found on the Android market or on the Web
SCL is also the place where CloudPrint, a service that allows you to print, store and share documents using your mobile telephone, was invented. It is now integrated with the RIM BlackBerry platform.
