ABSTRACT
In this chapter, we focus on the wireless evolution of connected things to collective intelligence (CI), which plays a central role in the sixth-generation (6G) vision of rendering future mobile networks more human-centered than fifth generation (5G). Toward this end, we adopted the unifying concept of stigmergy, a common mechanism used to produce cognition in the human brain as well as natural societies (e.g., social insects), to advance CI in future self-organizing techno-social systems known as cyber-physical-social systems (CPSS) such as the Tactile Internet and the future Internet of No Things. Further, we showed that CPSS is instrumental in realizing the human-centered Super Smart Society 5.0 vision.
