On October 10, 2011, the UZH News protion of the UZH home page featured the article “Schwarmintelligenz: «Crowdsourcing» statt «Outsourcing»” based on an interview with Abraham Bernstein. The article touches on how we can harness human intelligence within computational processes.

The work descibed is the result of a coopration between Patrick Minder andAbraham Bernstein at DDIS with Tom Malone and Mark Klein at MIT.

In a forthcoming article in the Communications of the ACM, Abraham Bernstein, Mark Klein, and Tom Malone describe the challenge computer scientists face when trying to include humans in computational processes. One of the challnges is the development of a suitable programming language for crowd computing. For that prupose Patrick Minder and Abraham Bernstein developed CrowdLang – a programming language that includes Human Computation features.
