Computational Grids are a new trend in distributed computing systems. They allow the sharing of geographically distributed resources in an efficient way, extending the boundaries of what we perceive as distributed computing. Various…
This paper investigates a novel hybrid worker recruitment problem where the mobile crowd sensing and computing (MCSC) platform employs workers to serve MCSC tasks with diverse quality requirements and budget constraints, under uncertainties…
Crowdsourcing-based content moderation is a platform that hosts content moderation tasks for crowd workers to review user submissions (e.g. text, images and videos) and make decisions regarding the admissibility of the posted content, along…
One important problem in crowdsourcing is that of assigning tasks to workers. We consider a scenario where a worker is traveling on a preferred/typical path (e.g., from school to home) and there is a set of tasks available to be performed.…
For complex crowdsourcing tasks that require collaboration between multiple individuals, teams should be formed by considering both worker compatibility and expertise. Furthermore, the nature of crowdsourcing dictates the budget for tasks…
Mobile Crowdsourcing (MC) is an effective way of engaging large groups of smart devices to perform tasks remotely while exploiting their built-in features. It has drawn great attention in the areas of smart cities and urban computing…
In the past several years, social media (e.g., Twitter and Facebook) has been experiencing a spectacular rise and popularity, and becoming a ubiquitous discourse for content sharing and social networking. With the widespread of mobile…
