At what cost pervasive? A social computing view of mobile computing systems

Pervasive Social Computing: augmenting five facets of human intelligence

“…Fourth, social computing is a computational facilitation of social studies and human social dynamics, as well as a design and use of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) technologies, that considers social context (Wang et al 2007). And fifth, social computing refers to as the interplay between people's social behaviors and their interactions with computing devices (Dryer et al 1999).…”

“…Pervasive Social Computing aims to take advantage of human social relationships, expressed as social networks, to enable the fulfillment of users' tasks on the move, and ultimately promoting social interactivity. Dryer et al (1999) use the term ''social computing'' to refer to as the interplay between people's social behaviors and their interactions with computing technologies. Parameswaran (2007) review social computing platforms such as blogs, Wikipedia, P2P networks, file-sharing networks, YouTube, etc., and observe that all of them share a high degree of community formation and user level content creation.…”

Model-Driven Software Development for Pervasive Information Systems Implementation

“…Several aspects have been focused, such as social concerns [15] and the economic implications of its deployment [16]. The advent of pervasive computing systems enabled information technology to gain a further relevance in its role in human social lives [17], narrowing the relationship between humans and technology and fostering focus on human to human communication. The potential for applications using smart objects is vast, being the limits "less of a technological nature than economic or even legal" [18].…”

“…However, new directions are seen within UCD as well. Social computing (Schuler, 1994; for an application in ubiquitous computing, see Dryer, Eisbach, & Ark, 1999) emphasizes the embeddedness of technology within social context and also studies the social change it causes. The value-sensitive design approach (Friedman, 1996) adds to the previous ones by emphasizing the role of human values and morals in deciding which features of technology are relevant and worth pursuing in design (e.g., user autonomy).…”
