Human capabilities have been incorporated into IT systems for solving complex problems since several years. Still, it is very challenging to program human capabilities due to the lack of techniques and tools. In this paper, we will discuss techniques and frameworks for conceptualizing and virtualizing human capabilities under programmable units and for provisioning them using cloud service models. We will discuss how elastic composite applications can be built by combining pro- grammable units of software-based and human-based services in the Vienna Elastic Computing Model.
