A Roadmap for Self-Evolving Communities
Year: 2014
Type: conference-paper
Abstract: . Self-organisation and self-evolution is evident in physics, chem-istry, biology, and human societies. Despite the existing literature on the topic, we believe self-organisation and self-evolution is still missing from the IT tools (whether online or offline) we are building and using. In the last decade, human interactions have been moving more and more towards social media. The time we spend interacting with others in vir-tual communities and networks is tremendous. Yet, the tools supporting those interactions remain rigid. This position paper argues the need for self-evolving software-enabled communities, and proposes a roadmap for achieving this required self-evolution. The proposal is based on building normative-based communities, where community interactions are regu-lated by norms and community members are free to discuss and modify their community’s norms. The evolution of communities is then dictated by the evolution of its norms.
