PROJECT TITLE :

Exploiting mobile crowdsourcing for pervasive cloud services: challenges and solutions

ABSTRACT:

With the proliferation of increasingly powerful mobile devices, mobile users can collaboratively type a mobile cloud to supply pervasive services, such as knowledge collecting, processing, and computing. With this mobile cloud, mobile crowdsourcing, as an emerging service paradigm, can enable mobile users to require over the outsourced tasks. By leveraging the sensing capabilities of mobile devices and integrating humanintelligence and machine-computation, mobile crowdsourcing has the potential to revolutionize the approach of data collecting and processing. In this article we investigate the mobile crowdsourcing architecture and applications, then discuss some research challenges and countermeasures for developing mobile crowdsourcing. Some research orientations are finally envisioned for further studies.
