We’ve now written an overview article on Human Agent Collectives that will be published later this year in the Communications of the ACM. You can access it at: http://eprints.soton.ac.uk/364593/.
The article gives a rationale for HACs, outlines an example of their use in a disaster response context and highlights the key research challenges as we see them.
We are developing systems that allow first responders, unmanned ground and aerial vehicles, and software agents to work effectively together.
