Social Coordination Frameworks for Social Technical Systems
Author: Huib Aldewereld
Publisher: Springer
ISBN: 3319335707
Category : Law
Languages : en
Pages : 275
Book Description
This book addresses the question of how to achieve social coordination in Socio-Cognitive Technical Systems (SCTS). SCTS are a class of Socio-Technical Systems that are complex, open, systems where several humans and digital entities interact in order to achieve some collective endeavour. The book approaches the question from the conceptual background of regulated open multiagent systems, with the question being motivated by their design and construction requirements. The book captures the collective effort of eight groups from leading research centres and universities, each of which has developed a conceptual framework for the design of regulated multiagent systems and most have also developed technological artefacts that support the processes from specification to implementation of that type of systems. The first, introductory part of the book describes the challenge of developing frameworks for SCTS and articulates the premises and the main concepts involved in those frameworks. The second part discusses the eight frameworks and contrasts their main components. The final part maps the new field by discussing the types of activities in which SCTS are likely to be used, the features that such uses will exhibit, and the challenges that will drive the evolution of this field.

Banking on Social Justice
Author: V John Devaraj
Publisher: Notion Press
ISBN: 1945497459
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 192
Book Description
Social justice has been guaranteed by the Constitution of India. Money, as a social phenomenon, is being converted into deposits and then transformed into bank credits through the bank network. Banks serve as arteries in an economy contributing to sectorial growth, and thereby to the growth in real national income that leads to the promotion of human welfare, reflected through the quality of life of all citizens. Banks in India have also been assigned the task of alleviation of poverty. Indian banks are thus expected to achieve growth with justice through branch banking. Bank branches have increased from 8262 in June 1969 to more than 1,30,000 in June 2015. As a result, the average population served by a bank branch has declined from 65,000 to 10,000. The aim of this book is to enable the common citizen to understand how far banks in India have achieved this objective over a period of five decades. This book was originally the PHD thesis titled “Geographical Expansion of Banks in India- Implications for Growth and Social Justice.”

Social Goal-Objective Formation, Democracy and National Interest
Author: Kofi Kissi Dompere
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 3319051733
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 254
Book Description
This book presents the development of a theory of social goal-objective formation and its relationship to national interest and social vision under a democratic decision-choice system with imperfect information structure. It provides a framework for the application of fuzzy logic and its mathematics to the analysis in resolving conflicts in individual preferences in the collective decision-choice space without violence. The book demonstrates how to use fuzzy logic and its mathematics in the study of economics, social sciences and other complex systems. It also presents the use of collaborative tools of opposites, duality, polarity, continuum in fuzzy paradigm with its logic, laws of thought and mathematics in developing a new approach to the theory of political economy in order to enhance the constructs of social decision-choice theory.
