A Human-based Computing System is a computing system that is a human system (largely composed of human computers).
- Context:
- It can solve Human-based Computation Tasks.
- It can perform Human-based Computation Acts.
- It can range from being a Human Computer to being a Crowd-Centric Computing System.

- Human-based computation (HBC) is a computer science technique in which a machine performs its function by outsourcing certain steps to humans. This approach uses differences in abilities and alternative costs between humans and computer agents to achieve symbiotic human-computer interaction.
In traditional computation, a human employs a computer[1] to solve a problem; a human provides a formalized problem description and an algorithm to a computer, and receives a solution to interpret. Human-based computation frequently reverses the roles; the computer asks a person or a large group of people to solve a problem, then collects, interprets, and integrates their solutions.
