Transactions on Computational Collective Intelligence III These Transactions publish research in computer based methods of computational collective intelligence (CCI) and their applications in a wide range of fields such as the Semantic Web social networks and multi agent systems. TCCI strives to cover new methodological theoretical and practical aspects of CCI understood as the form of intelligence that emerges from the collaboration and competition of many individuals (artificial and or natural). The application of multiple computational intelligence technologies such as fuzzy systems evolutionary computation neural systems consensus theory etc. aims to support human and other collective intelligence and to create new forms of CCI in natural and or artificial systems. This third issue contains a collection of 10 articles selected from high quality submissions addressing advances in the foundations and applications of computational collective intelligence.
