A preliminary ontology for human-agent collectives

Abstract

Human-Agent Collectives (HAC) is an approach involving coalitions of humans and agents working together to exploit their intelligence capabilities to optimize tasks in systems with inherent uncertainty. This paper presents a review of the main features of the HAC approach as well as the possible interactions between the entities that take place in the coalitions of a HAC system. An ontology called ONT4HAC is defined to facilitate the management of actions in HAC scenarios.
