Invited Talk at the AAAI 2017 Fall Symposium on Human-Agent Groups: Studies, Algorithms and Challenges

Jeffrey V. Nickerson is professor and Associate Dean of Research in the School of Business at Stevens Institute of Technology. His research is about collective creativity, how crowds and online communities can jointly design solutions to challenging social problems. He is co-PI on a recently awarded NSF Convergence grant. Convergence involves finding a common language for those in different disciplines to use, as well as identifying ways of benchmarking and sharing progress in multiple domains. As part of this NSF grant, a Research Collaboration Network spanning the computational and social sciences is being constructed, and all workshop participants are invited to become involved.
