CrowdSC: Building Smart Cities with Large-Scale Citizen Participation
TLDR
The authors describe CrowdSC's process model and evaluate three execution strategies and let users combine data collection, selection, and assessment activities in a crowdsourcing process to achieve sophisticated goals within a predefined context.Abstract:
A platform that connects citizens effectively to local government, letting them contribute to their community's general well-being, would be an elegant way to make cities smarter. CrowdSC is a crowdsourcing framework designed for smarter cities. The framework lets users combine data collection, selection, and assessment activities in a crowdsourcing process to achieve sophisticated goals within a predefined context. Depending upon this process's execution strategy, different outcomes are possible. The authors describe CrowdSC's process model and evaluate three execution strategies.read more

Towards enhancing the last-mile delivery: An effective crowd-tasking model with scalable solutions
TL;DR: Wang et al. as discussed by the authors proposed an effective large-scale mobile crowd-tasking model in which a large pool of citizen workers are used to perform the last-mile delivery, and formulated it as a network min-cost flow problem and proposed various pruning techniques that can dramatically reduce the network size.

GeoCrowd: enabling query answering with spatial crowdsourcing
Leyla Kazemi,Cyrus Shahabi +1 more
TL;DR: This paper introduces a taxonomy for spatial crowdsourcing, and focuses on one class of this taxonomy, in which workers send their locations to a centralized server and thereafter the server assigns to every worker his nearby tasks with the objective of maximizing the overall number of assigned tasks.
