I spent a substantial part of my professional career as an enterprise information system architect. Traditionally, the implementation of enterprise IT required large investments in effort and resources in order to organize dispersed bits of information, bridge organizational information silos, and integrate systems that were not built to be integrated. We are now witnessing the emergence of distributed cloud-computing infrastructure and applications, and a social computing ecosystem that promotes sharing and collective production and creativity. I believe that these new developments hold a great promise to a new self-organizing enterprise knowledge sphere.
In alignment with the paradigm shift towards people-centered computing, I have changed my focus from the system to the individual. I am now studying the cognitive, behavioral and social aspects that are involved in this change. I am using online Information Markets, as the platform of my research.
