Socio-technical systems are all around us as the environment in which we generate information about ourselves, share that information, and use digital goods and services. These systems have dramatically changed the way we interact with each other, engage in commerce, and share knowledge. They create a new opportunity to understand social systems and human nature at unprecedented scale, which is at the heart of research conducted in this area.
