Abstract: Recent developments of computing systems allow humans to participate not only as service consumers but also as service providers. The interweaving of human-based computing into machine-based computing systems becomes apparent in smart city settings, where human-based services together with 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: Modern development of computing systems caters the collaboration of human-based resources together with machine-based resources as active compute units. Those units can be dynamically provisioned on-demand for solving complex tasks, such as observed in collaborative applications, crowd sourced applications, 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
