Over the past 20 years, the web has transformed from a tool for the scientists at CERN to an information access centre for the world to a platform where people can get things done. Web 2.0 is this transition from the web being a static information access point to a dynamic, customizable and social platform. IIL contributes to this transformation of the web. We are currently working on one extension of Web 2.0, viz. Travel 2.0 where we aim at building technological revolutions in the travel industry. Travel 2.0 is all about “empowering” the user and enabling them to share information online that can be accessed by other travellers. We take the information to the traveller, rather than them searching for it.

Collective Intelligence Platform - A Communications View

This project deals with designing and implementing simple communications architecture for the collective intelligence platform. The platform is expected to interface with multiple devices from simple sensor nodes to intelligent agents.

Collective Intelligence Platform - A Knowledge Management View

Humans intrinsically lack the capability of scaling their individual performances by sharing knowledge with their peers. However, through Internet, agents have a channel to communicate their knowledge with their peers. This project aims to create a collective intelligence platform for intelligent agents so that they are aware of their ambiance and peers and are thus able to share critical knowledge with each other. In order to share knowledge amongst agents it is important to develop an architecture that defines how this knowledge is classified and later queried to infer more. This project deals with the knowledge management view of the collective intelligence platform.
