Poster: crowdsourcing to smartphones: social network based human collaboration

Abstract

Crowdsourcing is an increasingly popular solution for human intelligence tasks (HITs). Existing systems consist centralized control platforms. We are exploring a more comprehensive system in which a smartphone network is adopted as an effective supplement for location and time sensitive tasks. Additionally, social networks are used for more efficient potential worker selection. The system architecture is designed featuring the dual communication paradigm, Internet-based centralized communication mode and the wifi-based ad hoc communication mode.
