On Intelligent Interface Agents for Human Based Computation

摘要

In this paper a new type of interface agent will be presented. This agent is oriented to model systems for human based computation. This kind of computation, that we consider a logical extension of intelligent agent paradigm, emerges as valid approach for the resolution of complex problems. Firstly an study of the state of the art of interface agents will be review. Next, human based computation will be defined and we will see how is necessary to extend the current typology of interface agents to model this new kind of computation. In addition, a new type of interface agent, oriented to model this type of computational system, will be presented. Finally, two of the most representative applications of human based computation will be specified using this new typology.
