Agent‐based systems are continuing to gain in popularity as agent design tools and agent communication languages continue to mature. Today, agents have begun to play a variety of roles with respect to humans in agent‐based systems. As a result of these developments, the systems engineering, human factors, and cognitive sciences communities have begun to focus on the shared role of human and software agents in problem‐solving and decision making with a view to optimally leveraging the human component. This paper presents accomplishments to date on an ONR‐sponsored research initiative concerned with the development of a cognitively‐inspired, multi‐perspective conceptual framework for designing adaptive human‐agent collaboration architectures. Such architectures are capable of supporting dynamic function reassignment – the key to capitalizing on the human role in agent‐based systems.
