        阐述了社会计算的历史、现状及其意义,探讨了科学、技术和人文有机组合的途径,特别是如何利用复杂系统理论及先进的计算手段和方法,包括利用人工社会,计算试验、平行系统等方法,把传统上限于语言层次和静态的人文知识数字化和动态化,并用于各种复杂社会问题的建模、分析和决策支持。

        This paper discusses the history and the current status of social computing. The main concern here is how to apply theories and methods in complex systems and advanced computing technology in modeling, analysis, and decision support of complex social problems so that the static and linguistic knowledge in traditional social literatures and studies can use utilized in a digital and dynamic fashion. A theoretic framework for social computing research has been proposed based on the computational theory of complex systems, i.e., artificial societies, computational experiments and parallel systems.
