Pervasive Social Computing: Augmenting Five Facets of Human Intelligence

Pervasive Social Computing is a novel collective paradigm, derived from pervasive computing, social media, social networking, social signal processing, etc. This paper reviews Pervasive Social Computing as an integrated computing environment, which promises to augment five facets of human intelligence in physical environment awareness, behavior awareness, community awareness, interaction awareness, and content awareness. Reviews of related studies are given and their generic architectures are derived. The resulting architecture for Pervasive Social Computing is presented. A prototype is developed and examined in order to investigate the characteristics exhibited by Pervasive Social Computing.
