The '''Berkeley Open System for Skill Aggregation'''<ref>http://boinc.berkeley.edu/workshop_07.ppt p.39 (September 6, 2007)</ref> ('''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 ==

{{R from merge}}

[[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 (computing)|Bolt]] (a framework for web-based training and education in the context of volunteer computing and distributed thinking).
