Summer School
“Collective Intelligence:
Theories and Applications”
9-13 September 2019
Bari
- Italy
The last decade
has seen a rapid growth of the number of studies on the collective intelligence
of complex systems. It concerns a form of distributed intelligence, which
emerges from collaboration and competition of many interconnected entities,
whose behavioral rules are often also very simple. From groups of animals, such
as schools of fishes, colonies of ants, flocks of birds, to human groups, such
as teams and organizations, to networks such as
economies, neuronal networks, scientist networks, and financial systems, all these
systems show the ability to reach higher performance than single entities,
exploiting the power of social relationships and multiple connections.
Research has
currently proposed theories to understand the building blocks and the basic
mechanisms of collective intelligence as well as developed applications of
intelligent artificial systems, inspired by this property. What emerges is that
the topic spans beyond the borders of single fields of study and embraces
multiple disciplines, such as biology, cognitive science, physics, computer
science, management, and economics. Applications refer to different contexts,
from robotics to industrial optimization, politics, and artificial
intelligence.
The main aim of
this Summer School is to provide an updated overview of the topic, both on
theories and applications, according to this multidisciplinary perspective. To
pursue this goal, the School offers a collection of topical lectures in
multiple fields, given by leading international scholars from high-ranked
academia and research centers.
The Summer
School is mainly addressed to PhD students and young researchers, who would
like to improve their knowledge about mechanisms and dynamics of collective
behaviors of complex systems, from animals to individuals, to economies.
PhD students
attending the school will receive 6 ECTS certification.
