Real life is and must be full of all kinds of social constraint – the very processes from which society arises. Computers can help if we use them to create abstract social machines on the Web: processes in which the people do the creative work and the machine does the administration… The stage is set for an evolutionary growth of new social engines.

The challenge is to foster the co-constituted socio-technical system on the right i.e. a computationally-enabled sense-making network of expertise, data, models and narratives.
This requires a “social machines” perspective from the outset as well as humanistic input. The Web, and with it Web Science, are an important exemplar.
Big data elephant versus sense-making network?

Closing Questions
1. What are the Social Machines of Global Systems Science?
2. How do we study the Social Machines ecosystem?
3. What are the design principles and models of compositionality for Social Machines?
4. What are the implications of the Social Machines ‘sphere’ in Global Systems Science?
