Crowdsourcing using mobile devices, known as mobile crowdsourcing, is a powerful approach incorporating human wisdom into mobile computations to solve problems while exploiting the advantages of mobility and context-awareness. The problems that can be tackled include the use of geographically distributed tasks, and mobile sensing using the collective wisdom of the crowd. However, the implementation of mobile crowdsourcing applications has been found to be challenging to users due to the nature of dynamic sensing, crowd engagement with data distribution, and a process of data verification. In this paper, we provide an extensive survey of the literature on mobile crowdsourcing research, highlighting the aspects of particular concerns in terms of implementation needs during the development, architectures, and key considerations for their development. We present a taxonomy based on the key issues in mobile crowdsourcing and discuss the different approaches applied to these issues. We also provide a critical analysis of some challenges and suggest directions for future work. In particular, with the future Internet-of-Things in view, we generalize the notion of mobile crowdsourcing to thing crowdsourcing, where crowdsourcing can be issued from smart Internet-connected things that need to harness the human resources to solve problems.

“…For several years, CS has been used for providing services and information to people while processing data provided by them. Industries and researchers have already developed software based on the idea of CS with their popular field to be traffic and navigation [38]. Moovit is an app that gets feedback from its users and provides them information regarding the best transit route to follow, or a public transport arrival time taking into account the traffic data of the area [39].…”

Such applications have thrived because they exploit the widespread availability of mobile phones and the use of wireless internet [38]. However, issues such as the control of the content quality, task assignment and finding ways to motivate volunteers, remain [24].…”

Collective memory is vital for people as it gives them the sense of belonging to a community. In particular, refugee population groups feel the need to maintain contact with their routes through collective memory, due to the abolishment of the physical connection to their homeland. However, people's memories fade over time and stories are lost. In such a context a crucial question arises: Is it feasible to design and create a crowdsourcing collective memory management system for the benefit of such social groups preserving memory for next generations? In this work, we present a system that is able to collect and manage refugee stories disseminating them to the public. In order to stress the strength of the proposed system, we have created an evaluation methodology that assesses such a system in terms of system services and system stakeholders' real impact. We chose to deal with the collective memory of refugee groups coming from Asia Minor to Greece at the end of the first quarter of the twentieth century. Evaluation results reveal that such a system positively affects personal and social impact factors. Furthermore, a preliminary results analysis suggests specific interactions among the examined personal and social impact factors. We believe that the proposed system facilitates the needs of collective memory management and the assessment scheme could be adapted in the creation and evaluation of collective memory management systems.Heritage 2019, 2 2207 arise. How can memories be associated with persons' memorabilia from their homelands and their past lives? Can spontaneous, person memories form collective memory repositories?Heritage has the great potential to become a tool for supporting political reconciliation and stability [4]. There are few nations in the world that have not been born out of violence, a fact that is reflected in each country's list of monuments [5]. Giblin, studying symbolic healing and cultural renewal, states that heritage is better understood as a common element of post-conflict renewal, which becomes intensified as the past is aggressively negotiated to provide healing related to conflict trauma [6]. Basu states that it is better to negotiate a heritage of conflict rather than building a post-war society on a flimsy myth of piece [5]. Cultural heritage systems may also serve the needs of cultural groups in large urban centers. Systems that care about the smart management of information in the context of a city have already been implemented [7,8]. However, CH is a predominantly unexploited asset presenting multiple integration opportunities within city contexts [9,10]. For example, 9/11 was a devastating event experienced by the inhabitants of a city which created a collective memory. Also, an urban environment could alienate its inhabitants due to the long distances created between people sharing common interests as well as collective memory. We are aware that regimes have the power to shape the collective memory of their nations [11]. In some countries, previously suppressed, marginali...

“…Mobile-based crowdsourcing has been used in many applications, mostly related to geographic information collection. Mahmud and Aris [32] reviewed the state of mobile crowdsourcing applications from both research communities and industry. Examples include indoor building mapping, hazard reporting, child abuse reporting, flood reporting, traffic condition sharing, sound recognition, etc.…”

Despite being of paramount importance to humanity, tangible cultural heritage is often at risk from natural and anthropogenic threats worldwide. As a result, heritage discovery and conservation remain a huge challenge for both developed and developing countries, with heritage sites often inadequately cared for, be it due to a lack of resources, nonrecognition of the value by local people or authorities, human conflict, or some other reason. This paper presents an online geo-crowdsourcing system, termed Share Our Cultural Heritage (SOCH), which can be utilized for large-scale heritage documentation and sharing. Supported by web and mobile GIS, cultural heritage data such as textual stories, locations, and images can be acquired via portable devices. These data are georeferenced and presented to the public via web-mapping. Using photogrammetric modelling, acquired images are used to reconstruct heritage structures or artefacts into 3D digital models, which are then visualized on the SOCH web interface to enable public interaction. This end-to-end system incubates an online virtual community to encourage public engagement, raise awareness, and stimulate cultural heritage ownership. It also provides valuable resources for cultural heritage exploitation, management, education, and monitoring over time.
