In this chapter, the authors present the general framework for assessing collaborative work group behaviour over the Internet and their social or asocial behaviour based on previous studies. Following this approach, the authors first give reference to a related study on social and asocial learning and how they can be distinguished through the analysis of data diffusion curves and other mathematical models. As a next step, a used method on group collaboration over a digital content publication platform is presented. Finally, the authors state a new direction on collaborative work groups, and the idea of Collaborative Innovation Networks is presented. The paper ends with directions for future research on social networking and human-machine collaboration.
