Many companies now use crowdsourcing to leverage external (as well as internal) crowds to perform specialized work, and so methods of improving efficiency are critical. Tasks in crowdsourcing systems with specialized work have multiple…
Due to the limited resource capacity of edge servers and the high purchase costs of edge resources, service providers are facing the new challenge of how to take full advantage of the constrained edge resources for Internet of Things (IoT)…
Mobile-edge computing (MEC) has recently emerged as a cost-effective paradigm to enhance the computing capability of hardware-constrained wireless devices (WDs). In this paper, we first consider a two-user MEC network, where each WD has a…
The recent wave of AI and automation has been argued to differ from previous General Purpose Technologies (GPTs), in that it may lead to rapid change in occupations' underlying task requirements and persistent technological unemployment. In…
On edge devices, data scarcity occurs as a common problem where transfer learning serves as a widely-suggested remedy. Nevertheless, transfer learning imposes a heavy computation burden to resource-constrained edge devices. Existing task…
Large batch jobs such as Deep Learning, HPC and Spark require far more computational resources and higher cost than conventional online service. Like the processing of other time series data, these jobs possess a variety of characteristics…
Multiple robotic systems, working together, can provide important solutions to different real-world applications (e.g., disaster response), among which task allocation problems feature prominently. Very few existing decentralized…
We consider a task assignment problem in crowdsourcing, which is aimed at collecting as many reliable labels as possible within a limited budget. A challenge in this scenario is how to cope with the diversity of tasks and the task-dependent…

Task selection (picking an appropriate labeling task) and worker selection (assigning the labeling task to a suitable worker) are two major challenges in task assignment for crowdsourcing. Recently, worker selection has been successfully…
In large-scale systems there are fundamental challenges when centralised techniques are used for task allocation. The number of interactions is limited by resource constraints such as on computation, storage, and network communication. We…
Digital Assistants (DAs) can support workers in the workplace and beyond. However, target user needs are not fully understood, and the functions that workers would ideally want a DA to support require further study. A richer understanding…

One of the major challenges in the coordination of large, open, collaborative, and commercial vehicle fleets is dynamic task allocation. Self-concerned individually rational vehicle drivers have both local and global objectives, which…
This paper presents a new simulation-based approach to address the stochastic Dynamic Traffic Assignment (DTA) problem, focusing on large congested networks and dynamic settings. The proposed methodology incorporates a random walk model…
In a warehouse environment, tasks appear dynamically. Consequently, a task management system that matches them with the workforce too early (e.g., weeks in advance) is necessarily sub-optimal. Also, the rapidly increasing size of the action…
Despite cobots have high potential in bringing several benefits in the manufacturing and logistic processes, but their rapid (re-)deployment in changing environments is still limited. To enable fast adaptation to new product demands and to…
