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…
Mobile Crowd Sensing (MCS) is a new paradigm which takes advantage of pervasive smartphones to efficiently collect data, enabling numerous novel applications. To achieve good service quality for a MCS application, incentive mechanisms are…
Crowdsourcing with the intelligent agents carrying smart devices is becoming increasingly popular in recent years. It has opened up meeting an extensive list of real life applications such as measuring air pollution level, road traffic…
The recent boom in crowdsourcing has opened up a new avenue for utilizing human intelligence in the realm of data analysis. This innovative approach provides a powerful means for connecting online workers to tasks that cannot effectively be…
Mobile Crowdsourcing (MCS) photo-based is an arising field of interest and a trending topic in the domain of ubiquitous computing. It has recently drawn substantial attention of the smart cities and urban computing communities. In fact, the…
A main characteristic of crowdsourcing software development (CSD) is the complexity of tasks and skills required by workers to achieve successful software crowdsourcing. The tasks proposed to the crowd in CSD are checked to ensure they are…
Crowdsourcing is an emerging computing paradigm that takes advantage of the intelligence of a crowd to solve complex problems effectively. Besides collecting and processing data, it is also a great demand for the crowd to conduct…
Crowdsourcing is a valuable approach for tracking objects in videos in a more scalable manner than possible with domain experts. However, existing frameworks do not produce high quality results with non-expert crowdworkers, especially for…
In this work, we initiate the investigation of optimization opportunities in collaborative crowdsourcing. Many popular applications, such as collaborative document editing, sentence translation, or citizen science resort to this special…
Crowdsourcing refers to the arrangement in which contributions are solicited from a large group of unrelated people. Due to this nature, crowdsourcers (or task requesters) often face uncertainty about the workers' capabilities which, in…
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…
In this paper, we propose to design an automated service discovery process to allow mobile crowdsourcing task requesters select a small set of devices out of a large-scale Internet-of-things (IoT) network to execute their tasks. To this…
Untile recently crowdsourcing has been primarily conceived as an online activity to harness resources for problem solving. However the emergence of opportunistic networking (ON) has opened up crowdsourcing to the spatial domain. In this…
Crowdsourced mobile edge caching and sharing (Crowd-MECS) is emerging as a promising content delivery paradigm by employing a large crowd of existing edge devices (EDs) to cache and share popular contents. The successful technology adoption…
We propose a mobile crowdsourced sensors selection approach to improve the journey planning service especially in areas where no wireless or vehicular sensors are available. We develop a location estimation model of journey services based…
The research on the efforts of combining human and machine intelligence has a long history. With the development of mobile sensing and mobile Internet techniques, a new sensing paradigm called Mobile Crowd Sensing (MCS), which leverages the…
Traditionally, the term crowd was used almost exclusively in the context of people who self-organized around a common purpose, emotion or experience. Today, however, firms often refer to crowds in discussions of how collections of…
In crowdsourcing, a group of common people is asked to execute the tasks and in return will receive some incentives. In this article, one of the crowdsourcing scenarios with multiple heterogeneous tasks and multiple IoT devices (as task…
With the advent of seamless connection of human, machine, and smart things, there is an emerging trend to leverage the power of crowds (e.g., citizens, mobile devices, and smart things) to monitor what is happening in a city, understand how…
Collaborative Mobile Crowdsourcing (CMCS) allows platforms to recruit worker teams to collaboratively execute complex sensing tasks. The efficiency of such collaborations could be influenced by trust relationships among workers. To obtain…
