The Berkeley Open System for Skill Aggregation[1] (Bossa) is a software framework for distributed thinking - the use of volunteers on the Internet to perform tasks that require human intelligence, knowledge, or cognitive skills.

History

David P. Anderson a research scientist at the Space Sciences Laboratory of the University of California, Berkeley, and leader of the BOINC project was involved in Stardust@home. The project used 23,000 volunteers to identify interstellar dust particles via the Web - an approach called distributed thinking. In 2007 Anderson launched two new software projects: Bossa (middleware for distributed thinking), and Bolt (a framework for web-based training and education in the context of volunteer computing and distributed thinking).
