Framework, platform and trends for sociomimetic computing

Sociomimetic Computing, as described in this paper, is a computing paradigm inspired by social systems in which computer software is made out of socially cooperative agents as its basic components. To contrast with social simulation which is a computational method for analysis of social system, this paradigm is about synthesizing social systems for computational purposes. This paper describes a framework for this paradigm, and explains Social Regression an example of its practical implementation. It also provides an overview on Knowledge-Request Broker Architecture, which is the platform made to support sociomimetic computing. Being one of the first papers written on this paradigm, it also draws some trends for its future.
