Novel Approaches to Human-Computer Collaboration and Coordination

Abstract

The PIM model addresses the problems associated with traditional approaches such as centralized, swarm based, or multi-agent based approaches. Compared to centralized approaches, it ameliorates the robustness problem because no single node has to be in control. The PIM approach also ameliorates the communication bottleneck by moving the processing to the data rather than the data to the process. The PIM approach retains the conceptual simplicity and ease of programming of the centralized model as it removes the complications of negotiation protocols and timing problems in coordinating multiple autonomous systems.
