DEPARTMENT OF COMPUTER SCIENCE
Thomas W. Malone from MIT Center for Collective Intelligence will be
giving a talk on Monday, November 3, 2008 - CSIC Building - Room 1115 at
4:00 p.m. and a Panel Discussion - 5:00 p.m. - 6:00 p.m. Reception will
be held at the CSIC Lobby before the talk at 3:30 p.m. Title, Abstract
and Bio are below.
Title: Classifying and Designing Collective Intelligence
Abstract:
Some of the most interesting recent Internet applications (like
Wikipedia, Digg, and Google) are examples of what is variously called
"Web 2.0" or "collective intelligence." Designing such systems well is
not just a matter of software design; it's also a matter of
organizational design. This talk will describe some examples of these
new types of systems and present early results of a project whose goals
are to systematically classify them and identify the conditions in which
they are useful. One goal of this work is to develop principles for
designing both the software and the other organizational elements needed
for successful collective intelligence.
Bio: Thomas W. Malone is the Patrick J. McGovern Professor of Management
at the MIT Sloan School of Management and the founding director of the
MIT Center for Collective Intelligence. He was also the founder and
director of the MIT Center for Coordination Science and one of the two
founding co-directors of the MIT Initiative on "Inventing the
Organizations of the 21st Century". Professor Malone teaches classes on
leadership and information technology, and his research focuses on how
new organizations can be designed to take advantage of the possibilities
provided by information technology. The past two decades of Professor
Malone's groundbreaking research are summarized in his critically
acclaimed book, The Future of Work: How the New Order of Business Will
Shape Your Organization, Your Management Style, and Your Life (Harvard
Business School Press, 2004). Professor Malone has also published over
75 articles, research papers, and book chapters; he is an inventor with
11 patents; and he is the co-editor of three books: Coordination Theory
and Collaboration Technology (Erlbaum, 2001), Inventing the
Organizations of the 21st Century (MIT Press, 2003), and Organizing
Business Knowledge: The MIT Process Handbook (MIT Press, 2003).
Before joining the MIT faculty in 1983, Malone was a research scientist
at the Xerox Palo Alto Research Center (PARC) where his research
involved designing educational software and office information systems.
His background includes a Ph.D. and two master's degrees from Stanford
University, a B.A. (magna cum laude) from Rice University, and degrees
in applied mathematics, engineering-economic systems, and psychology.
