Combination of social machines and service-oriented relationships

The dissemination of the Web as a software development platform has led to a combination of computational and social elements to deal with the complexity of existing services and operations on the network, known as Social Machines. Social Machines establish relationships between people and machines through different views of relationships and their constraints. The role of Social Machines has changed the understanding of the nature of computing in complex operations and services, increasing the interactivity and connectivity of applications, collaborative platforms, and social networks. In this research, possibilities of interactions between Social Machines from the perspective of service-oriented relationships are presented, using the method based on Design Science Research (DSR). Given the type of relationship established in this research, some existing characteristics of architectural styles that can be used for communication between machines are highlighted, and the results are expected to bring, in a certain way, a set of perspectives of the service-oriented relationship between social machines.
