Hi, some of you might be interested: The new "Human Computation" Journal just
published its first issue (open access) and also features one interesting piece about
Wikipedia.
Cheers, Fabian

First issue – Greeting from the Editors
Dear Colleagues,
We are pleased to present the first issue of "Human Computation", a new,
open-access journal for all disciplines that contribute to the design and analysis of
distributed information processing systems that leverage human cognition. We hope you find
this first issue both stimulating and useful and look forward to your feedback and –
hopefully – to including your own scholarly work in future editions.
Collectively yours,
Pietro Michelucci & Elena Simperl, Co-Editors-in-Chief
Research: Group minds and the case of Wikipedia
Using Wikipedia as a case study, the author evaluates the hypothesis that group level
mental states can be distinct from and irreducible to the mental states of its individual
constituents.

Research: The three sides of CrowdTruth
Disagreement among crowdworkers may in fact be informative about problematic tasks; the
authors provide an empirical framework to leverage the diversity of human opinion.

Research: Toward complexity measures for systems involving HC
Can human computation problems be classified according to their complexity and needed
resources, like computer algorithms? A theoretical foundation for performance-based
modeling in HC is proposed to achieve just that.

Research: Architecting real-time crowd-powered systems
A survey of crowd-powered systems provides the draft for an architectural framework for
systematically replicating recent successes in designing and implementing such on-demand
systems.

Opinion: Learning to count
As we build systems collecting and aggregating human contributions, we are well-advised to
preserve and recognize the impact of individual voices and actions.
