Elasticity is seen as one of the main characteristics of Cloud Computing today. Social computing, as one of the most prominent applications deployed on Cloud infrastructures, would gain significantly from elasticity. In this talk I will discuss the main principles of elasticity related to coordination, present a fresh look at this problem, and examine how to integrate people in the form of human-based computing and software services into one composite system, which can be modeled, programmed, and instantiated on a large scale in an elastic way.
