In the last few years the Web has been progressively acquiring the status of an in- frastructure for “social computing” that allows to coordinate the cognitive abilities of human agents in online communities, and steer the collective user activity to- wards predefined goals. This general trend is also triggering the adoption of web- games as a very interesting laboratory to run experiments in the social-sciences and whenever the contribution of human beings is crucially required for research purposes. This paper introduces Experimental Tribe (ET), a novel general purpose web-based platform for social computation.

Abstract
In the last few years the Web has been progressively acquiring the status of an in- frastructure for “social computing” that allows to coordinate the cognitive abilities of human agents in online communities, and steer the collective user activity to- wards predefined goals. This general trend is also triggering the adoption of web- games as a very interesting laboratory to run experiments in the social-sciences and whenever the contribution of human beings is crucially required for research purposes. This paper introduces Experimental Tribe (ET), a novel general purpose web-based platform for social computation.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
