Title of the paper: Team Intelligence: An E-CARGO Perspective
Abstract: People live in a society and cannot live alone. Social intelligence (SoI) is required for every human being, even though current Artificial Intelligence (AI) ignores it. Similar to the idea of SoI, systems, collaborative, collective, and team intelligence are also discussed and investigated. However, because the investigation is mainly from the viewpoint of humanity, it is hard to formalize a well-accepted concept.
Thanks to the Environments – Classes, Agents, Roles, Groups, and Objects (E-CARGO) model and the methodology of Role-Based Collaboration (RBC), it is possible to specify a unified concepts about such intelligences, called team intelligence.
This article presents a real-world scenario to induce the requirement to state the intelligence of a team and ensures that team intelligence is supported by E-CARGO/RBC. Then, this paper proposes an indicator for team intelligence. By reviewing related work, it clarifies the terms of social, systems, collaborative, collective, and team intelligence, consolidating the contributions of the proposal.
