Abstract
From ancient abacuses to modern computers, our desire for more power in computing and drive for its deep application seem endless. First we saw the emergence of scientific computing after ENIAC, and then the tide of bio- and medical informatics in 1980s. Today, the wave of virtual worlds and the real force inside the Web have pushed us beyond the physical space to a new direction in computing: social computing.
