Abstract

This paper describes human centered systems in which human evaluation, decision, interpretation, feelings, subjectivity play important roles. One of useful approaches to human centered systems thinking is soft computing techniques that permit uncertainty of information since a real world is complex and it is difficult and wasteful to deal with its information strictly. This paper also introduces some examples of human centered systems, a music composition support system, a story generation system from pictures, a facial caricature drawing system and a pedestrian navigation system.
