"Human Dimensions of Networks (HDN) is a research group at the University
of Utah that studies the interrelationships among social, economic, communication
and transportation networks at all scales (local to global) from a multi-disciplinary
perspective."
"The goal is to analyze and facilitate how people, in the process of
accessing and using information on networks, create new knowledge without
premeditation. We argue that the symbiotic combination of humans and
smart networks will result in a previously unrealized capability of collective
problem identification and solution. This capability is based on the
pre-existing self-organizing dynamics of social evolution. This symbiotic
intelligence will greatly increase the success of organizations in achieving
their goals, better utilizing their resources and preparing for the future.
For the human society as a whole, this new resource will improve our quality
of life and vitality as a species."
