Transactions on Computational Collective Intelligence XXVII, 1st ed. 2017 Transactions on Computational Collective Intelligence Series

These transactions publish research in computer-based methods of computational collective intelligence (CCI) and their applications in a wide range of fields such as the semantic Web, social networks, and multi-agent systems. TCCI strives to cover new methodological, theoretical and practical aspects of CCI understood as the form of intelligence that emerges from the collaboration and competition of many individuals (artificial and/or natural). The application of multiple computational intelligence technologies, such as fuzzy systems, evolutionary computation, neural systems, consensus theory, etc., aims to support human and other collective intelligence and to create new forms of CCI in natural and/or artificial systems. This twenty-seventh issue is a special issue with 13 selected papers from the Second Seminar on Quantitative Methods of Group Decision Making.
