Integrating Quality Control into Crowd-sourcing Services. This project aims to contribute to the scientific foundations of quality control in crowd-sourcing services. Crowd-sourcing services harness the wisdom of large communities to solve problems. Open projects (eg Linux, Wikipedia) have successfully used crowd sourcing. Increasingly, organisations and governments are using crowd-sourcing to improve products and services. However, there are significant risks due to lack of robust quality contr ....Integrating Quality Control into Crowd-sourcing Services. This project aims to contribute to the scientific foundations of quality control in crowd-sourcing services. Crowd-sourcing services harness the wisdom of large communities to solve problems. Open projects (eg Linux, Wikipedia) have successfully used crowd sourcing. Increasingly, organisations and governments are using crowd-sourcing to improve products and services. However, there are significant risks due to lack of robust quality control methods. The project aims to contribute to the first methodology and techniques for systematic provisioning of robust crowd-sourcing quality control mechanisms. It is expected that project outcomes would contribute to lifting productivity and economic growth through quality-aware crowd sourcing service technologies.Read moreRead less

Federated Cloud Services Configuration and Orchestration. Cloud computing allows organisations to expand or contract their computing footprint based on existing demand. However, existing cloud delivery models support individual segregated and heterogeneous functionalities, which prevent effective coordinated combination of on-premise and off-premise applications, services, and resources. This project aims to significantly contribute to the scientific foundations for the model-driven and elastic ....Federated Cloud Services Configuration and Orchestration. Cloud computing allows organisations to expand or contract their computing footprint based on existing demand. However, existing cloud delivery models support individual segregated and heterogeneous functionalities, which prevent effective coordinated combination of on-premise and off-premise applications, services, and resources. This project aims to significantly contribute to the scientific foundations for the model-driven and elastic configuration and orchestration of resources over heterogeneous cloud services. The outcomes of the project aim to contribute to lifting productivity and economic growth through interoperable and elastic cloud service technologies as well as delivering appropriate skills for the new digital economy.Read moreRead less
