Understanding Crowdsourcing Systems from a Multiagent Perspective and Approach

Understanding Crowdsourcing Systems from a Multiagent Perspective and Approach Crowdsourcing has recently been significantly explored. Although related surveys have been conducted regarding this subject, each has mainly consisted of a review of a single aspect of crowdsourcing systems or on the application of crowdsourcing in a specific application domain. A crowdsourcing system is a comprehensive set of multiple entities, including various elements and processes. Multiagent computing has already been widely envisioned as a powerful paradigm for modeling autonomous multi-entity systems with adaptation to dynamic environments. Therefore, this article presents a novel multiagent perspective and approach to understanding crowdsourcing systems, which can be used to correlate the research on crowdsourcing and multiagent systems and inspire possible interdisciplinary research between the two areas. This article mainly discusses the following two aspects: (1) The multiagent perspective can be used for conducting a comprehensive survey on the state of the art of crowdsourcing, and (2) the multiagent approach can bring about concrete enhancements for crowdsourcing technology and inspire future research directions that enable crowdsourcing research to overcome the typical challenges in crowdsourcing technology. Finally, this article discusses the advantages and disadvantages of the multiagent perspective by comparing it with two other popular perspectives on crowdsourcing: the business perspective and the technical perspective. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png ACM Transactions on Autonomous and Adaptive Systems (TAAS) Association for Computing Machinery

Abstract

Crowdsourcing has recently been significantly explored. Although related surveys have been conducted regarding this subject, each has mainly consisted of a review of a single aspect of crowdsourcing systems or on the application of crowdsourcing in a specific application domain. A crowdsourcing system is a comprehensive set of multiple entities, including various elements and processes. Multiagent computing has already been widely envisioned as a powerful paradigm for modeling autonomous multi-entity systems with adaptation to dynamic environments. Therefore, this article presents a novel multiagent perspective and approach to understanding crowdsourcing systems, which can be used to correlate the research on crowdsourcing and multiagent systems and inspire possible interdisciplinary research between the two areas. This article mainly discusses the following two aspects: (1) The multiagent perspective can be used for conducting a comprehensive survey on the state of the art of crowdsourcing, and (2) the multiagent approach can bring about concrete enhancements for crowdsourcing technology and inspire future research directions that enable crowdsourcing research to overcome the typical challenges in crowdsourcing technology. Finally, this article discusses the advantages and disadvantages of the multiagent perspective by comparing it with two other popular perspectives on crowdsourcing: the business perspective and the technical perspective.
