  2. Computational sustainability - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computational_Sustainability

    Computer vision is used to monitor and track endangered species, such as tracking the movements of animals in their natural habitats or identifying individual animals for population studies. For example, camera traps equipped with computer vision algorithms can automatically detect and identify species, allowing researchers to study their ...

  3. Social computing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_computing

    Social computing is an area of computer science that is concerned with the intersection of social behavior and computational systems. It is based on creating or recreating social conventions and social contexts through the use of software and technology.

  4. Computational sociology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computational_sociology

    Computational sociology is a branch of sociology that uses computationally intensive methods to analyze and model social phenomena. Using computer simulations, artificial intelligence, complex statistical methods, and analytic approaches like social network analysis, computational sociology develops and tests theories of complex social processes through bottom-up modeling of social interactions.

  5. Computational social science - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computational_social_science

    Digital society-focused approach, where computational social scientists seek to address problems emerging in algorithmic society, such as algorithmic bias. Social theory perspective , where the aim of computational methods is to further social theory , i.e., help to find evidence to current theories or propose alternative conceptualizations to ...

  6. Social informatics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_informatics

    Social informatics is a young intellectual movement and its future is still being defined. However, because SST theorists such as Williams and Edge suggest that the amorphous boundaries between humans and technology that emerge in social shaping technology research indicate that technology is not a distinct social endeavor worthy of individual study, [6] indicating that there is a need for ...

  7. Technology and society - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Technology_and_society

    The importance of stone tools, circa 2.5 million years ago, is considered fundamental in the human development in the hunting hypothesis. [citation needed]Primatologist, Richard Wrangham, theorizes that the control of fire by early humans and the associated development of cooking was the spark that radically changed human evolution. [2]

  8. Computing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computing

    Computer science or computing science (abbreviated CS or Comp Sci) is the scientific and practical approach to computation and its applications. A computer scientist specializes in the theory of computation and the design of computational systems. [43]

  9. Natural computing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natural_computing

    Natural computing, [1] [2] also called natural computation, is a terminology introduced to encompass three classes of methods: 1) those that take inspiration from nature for the development of novel problem-solving techniques; 2) those that are based on the use of computers to synthesize natural phenomena; and 3) those that employ natural materials (e.g., molecules) to compute.
