Abstract: Human participation in socio-technical systems is overgrowing conventional crowdsourcing where humans solve simple, independent tasks. Novel systems are attempting to leverage humans for more intellectually challenging tasks, involving longer lasting worker engagement and complex collaboration patterns. Controllability of such Continue reading
Abstract: Today’s crowdsourcing systems are predominantly used for processing independent tasks with simplistic coordination. As such, they offer limited support for handling complex, intellectually and organizationally challenging labour types, such as software development. In order to support crowdsourcing of the Continue reading
Abstract: Novel types of crowdsourcing systems require a wider spectrum of incentives for efficient motivation and management of human workers taking part in complex collaborations. Incentive management techniques used in conventional crowdsourcing platforms are not suitable for more intellectually-challenging tasks. Continue reading
Abstract: Novel web-based socio-technical systems require incentives for efficient management and motivation of human workers taking part in complex collaborations. Incentive management techniques used in existing crowdsourcing platforms are not suitable for intellectually-challenging tasks; platform-specific solutions prevent both workers from Continue reading
Abstract: Crowdsourcing is generally used for tasks with minimal coordination, providing limited support for dynamic reconfiguration. Modern systems, exemplified by social machines, are subject to continual flux in both the client and development communities and their needs. To support crowd Continue reading
