If Carl Hiaasen set one of his novels on a residential stretch of boundary line between British Columbia and Washington, or if Richard Russo's characters had relatives in the Pacific Northwest, the result might be something like Jim Lynch's Border Songs. Continue »

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

This volume presents for the first time a complete theory of collective intelligence, helping to explain this growing area of non-deterministic computing. The author brings together ideas from different areas, making this a useful resource not only for computer scientists, but also for researchers working on problems in machine learning and artificial intelligence. Random PROLOG Processor (RPP) is used to illustrate the theory.

Book News Annotation:

Develops a formal definition of collective intelligence (CI) and practical guidelines for its assessment and applications. Szuba (Kuwait University) begins with a discussion of the types of intelligence into which he brings ideas from AI, information theory, and distributed computing. He then explores theoretically feasible models of CI computations, and presents a nondeterministic approach using the random PROLOG processor as a CI modeling and evaluation tool. The concept of the collective intelligence quotient is introduced, and guidelines for measuring it are developed. The last chapter lays the foundation for collective intelligence engineering, and considers its potential applications as an organizational restructuring tool.
