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 twelfth issue contains 10 carefully selected and thoroughly revised contributions.

A range of topics within the field of computational collective intelligence are covered A detailed editor's preface, introducing the papers in the issue, is included in the front matter and is freely available for perusal on SpringerLink Journal-like review process
