    Call For Papers - CFP

    In recent years, two phenomena of massive proportions have emerged: first, the transformation of the Internet users from passive consumers to active producers of digital content as witnessed by the amount of user generated content on Web 2.0 websites. Second, and almost in parallel, mobile technology has undergone a major evolution. Mobile devices (e.g., smart phones, portable digital assistants, etc.) have seen their computing capabilities such as processing power and memory availability, grow according to Moore’s law, while also accommodating a variety of wireless network interfaces of increasing bandwidth.

    Convergence of these two trends, in conjunction with characteristics of urban lifestyle, has made it possible for citizens to contribute user generated content on the go, a trend that is also known as ubiquitous crowdsourcing. Crowdsourcing, a well-known paradigm in Web, offers a mechanism for harvesting data and bringing together content that is produced from the large, distributed crowds of volunteers.

    To successfully apply crowdsourcing paradigm into the mobile and ubiquitous setting, networking challenges need to be addressed. This workshop's focus is on understanding those challenges, and addressing requirements of such ubiquitous crowdsourcing systems. In particular, we are interested in exploring areas such as network security, network monitoring and task coordination for ubiquitous crowdsourcing systems.

    We invite original, previously unpublished papers and research contributions in the area of mobile crowdsourcing. The accepted papers will appear in the workshop proceedings, published by Springer-Verlag, in the Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) series.

    Specific topics of interests include (but are not limited to) the following:

    Mobile Crowdsourcing Applications and Services

    Crowdsensing and Crowd Discovery

    Crowd Network Management

    Crowd Network Monitoring

    Crowd Overload Management

    Crowd Network Security

    Data Integrity and Security Challenges in Mobile Crowdsourcing

    Network Dynamics and Social Ties to the crowds

    Task Discovery and Coordination in Mobile Crowdsourcing

    Methods for Quality Control and Improvement of Crowdsourcing Contributions
