Collective adaptive systems (CASs) have been researched intensively since many years. However, the recent emerging developments
and advanced models in service-oriented computing, cloud computing
and human computation have fostered several new forms of CASs.
Among them, Hybrid and Diversity-aware CASs (HDA-CASs) characterize
new types of CASs in which a collective is composed of hybrid
machines and humans that collaborate together with different complementary roles. This emerging HDA-CAS poses several research challenges in terms of programming, management and provisioning. In this paper, we investigate the main issues in programming HDA-CASs. First, we analyze context characterizing HDA-CASs. Second, we propose to use the concept of hybrid compute units to implement HDA-CASs that can be elastic. We call this type of HDA-CASs h²CAS (Hybrid Compute Unit-based HDA-CAS). We then discuss a meta-view of h²CAS that describes a h²CAS program. We analyze and present program features for h²CAS in four main different contexts.
