Concert of Human Proficiency in Tune-up-Leaning Systems
Iss ue · 2012
In this paper, we motivated the trend towards socio-technical systems in SOA. In such environments social implications must be handled properly. With the human user in the loop numerous concepts, including personalization, expertise involvement, drift interests, and social dynamics become of paramount importance. Therefore, we discussed related Web standards and showed ways to extend them to fit the requirements of a people-centric Web. In particular, we outlined concepts that let people offer their expertise in a service-oriented manner and covered the deployment, discovery and selection of Human-Provided Services. In the future, we aim at providing more fine-grained monitoring and adaptation strategies. An example is the translation service presented in this paper, where some language options are typically used more often, or even more successfully than others. In that case, data types could be modified to reduce the number of available language options in the WSDL interface description and to restrict input parameters. Harnessing delegation patterns that involve various participants, a complex social network perspective is established in which connections are not only maintained between one client and an avatar, but also among avatars.
