TCSC: A New Type Of Spatial Crowdsourcing

Abstract

The popularity of advanced mobile terminals allows spatial crowdsourcing to be widely used. In this work, we study a new type of spatial crowdsourcing, called time-continuous spatial crowdsourcing (TCSC in short). This type of crowdsourcing is primarily concerned with tasks that take a long time to finish and involves time-sharing among multiple workers. We study single-task and multi-task scenarios, and propose novel strategies to optimize the assignment process. Extensive experiments are conducted to support our proposals.
