*Description*
Crowdsourcing beyond the desktop is increasingly attracting interest due
to the rapid proliferation of smart phones and other ubiquitous
technologies, such as public displays. While online crowdsourcing
markets (such as Amazon’s Mechanical Turk, CrowdFlower and oDesk) make
it convenient to pay for workers willing to solve a range of different
tasks, they can suffer from a number of limitations. For instance, these
online platforms do not always attract workers of desired background or
skills. Thus, it can be a challenge to recruit workers that speak a
specific language or live in a certain city. Further, these online
platforms are not ideal to collect information on the go (either
passively or actively) or for tasks that require workers to be in a
specific location. Mobile and situated crowdsourcing can help fill in
the gaps where online platforms are suboptimal.
This special issue aims to present a set of high-quality, high-impact,
original research results reporting the current state of the art of
mobile and situated crowdsourcing. Manuscripts must be original, but
significant revisions of papers recently presented at conferences and
workshops will be considered (at least 50% new material). We encourage
contributions in the following key areas and considering a mobile or
situated crowdsourcing context:
* Applications: crowdsourcing applications that can benefit from being
conducted using mobile or situated technologies as opposed to using
online platforms.
* Quality control and incentives: designing crowdsourcing applications
that encourage truthful responses.
* Methodologies: methods and methodologies used for gathering and
evaluating crowd contributions.
* Behaviours: understanding worker behaviours in these contexts.
*Submission*
Deadline: the final manuscripts are due February 15, 2016 but early
submissions are encouraged.
All contributions will be rigorously peer reviewed to the usual exacting
standards of the IJHCS journal. Further information, including
submission procedures and advice on formatting and preparing your
manuscript, can be found at:
http://www.elsevier.com/journals/international-journal-of-human-computer-studies/1071-5819/guide-for-authors
Manuscripts are submitted via the Elsevier Editorial System (EES) at:
http://ees.elsevier.com/ijhcs/. It is important that authors select the
article type “SI:MSC” when they submit their articles in EES.
