Recent years have seen a surge in online collaboration between experts and amateurs on scientific research. In this article, we analyse the epistemological implications of these crowdsourced projects, with a focus on Zooniverse, the world's…
The increasing demand for video streaming services with high Quality of Experience (QoE) has prompted a lot of research on client-side adaptation logic approaches. However, most algorithms use the client's previous download experience and…
In this article, we present a digital agent (DA)-assisted network management framework for future sixth generation (6G) networks considering user quality of experience (QoE). A novel QoE metric is defined by incorporating the impact of user…
The subjective quality of transmitted speech is traditionally assessed in a controlled laboratory environment according to ITU-T Rec. P.800. In turn, with crowdsourcing, crowdworkers participate in a subjective online experiment using their…
Crowdsourcing has emerged as a prevalent method for mitigating the risks of correctness and security in outsourced cloud computing. This process involves an aggregator distributing tasks, collecting responses, and aggregating outcomes from…
Quality of Experience (QoE) prediction plays a crucial role in optimizing resource management and enhancing user satisfaction across both telecommunication and OTT services. While recent advances predominantly rely on deep learning models,…
Research in Mobile Location-Based Crowdsourcing is hindered by a marked lack of real-world data. The development of a standardized, lightweight, easily deployable, modular, composable, and most of all, scalable experimentation framework…
The process of gathering ground truth data through human annotation is a major bottleneck in the use of information extraction methods for populating the Semantic Web. Crowdsourcing-based approaches are gaining popularity in the attempt to…
We present CrowdHub, a tool for running systematic evaluations of task designs on top of crowdsourcing platforms. The goal is to support the evaluation process, avoiding potential experimental biases that, according to our empirical…
Mobile Internet experience has been of increasing interest. Services accessed via smartphone applications shall provide satisfying Quality of Experience (QoE), irrespective of end user location, time of the day, and other circumstances.…
Crowdsourcing wireless energy is a novel and convenient solution to charge nearby IoT devices. Several applications have been proposed to enable peer-to-peer wireless energy charging. However, none of them considered the energy efficiency…
Fact-checking is one of the effective solutions in fighting online misinformation. However, traditional fact-checking is a process requiring scarce expert human resources, and thus does not scale well on social media because of the…
Road networks are among the most essential components of a country's infrastructure. By facilitating the movement and exchange of goods, people, and ideas, they support economic and cultural activity both within and across borders.…
In any field, finding the "leading edge" of research is an on-going challenge. Researchers cannot appease reviewers and educators cannot teach to the leading edge of their field if no one agrees on what is the state-of-the-art. Using a…
In an increasingly connected world, wireless networks' monitoring and characterization are of vital importance. Service and application providers need to have a detailed understanding of network performance to offer new solutions tailored…
Crowdwork often entails tackling cognitively-demanding and time-consuming tasks. Crowdsourcing can be used for complex annotation tasks, from medical imaging to geospatial data, and such data powers sensitive applications, such as health…
Augmented reality (AR) technology is developing fast and provides users with new ways to interact with the real-world surrounding environment. Although the performance of holographic AR multimedia devices can be measured with traditional…
Social Media provides researchers with an unprecedented opportunity to gain insight into various facets of human life. Health practitioners put a great emphasis on pinpointing socioeconomic status (SES) of individuals as they can use to it…
Crowdsourcing mobile user's network performance has become an effective way of understanding and improving mobile network performance and user quality-of-experience. However, the current measurement method is still based on the landline…
