2. First Workshop on “Emerging Problem- specific Crowdsourcing Technologies”

In Conjunction with the Seventh International Conference on Digital Information Management (ICDIM 2012)
http://www.icdim.org/workshop.php
University of Macau, Macau
August 22-24, 2012

Technically co-sponsored by the IEEE Technology Management Council
Accepted workshop papers will be published in the proceedings indexed by IEEE Xplore.

* About the Workshop

In the recent period, the potential of crowdsourcing in business and social context (Gowdy et al.,), enterprise resource planning software (Leimeister et al) and in many other fields are visualized to systematically design and implement the Information Technology -based ideas and to deploy in several newer intelligent applications.

Crowdsourcing deployment not only addresses the access to systems and connections, but adds discussions and research in the problem- specific skills and technologies. Crowdsourcing as an online distributed problem-solving and production model has potential to pull creators and innovators for creating a new generation of collective intelligence. To address the potential of Crowdsourcing and to create a newer forum, the workshop on "Emerging problem- specific Crowdsourcing Technologies' is planned.
