Summary:
|
Crowdsourcing is defined as the practice of obtaining needed services, ideas, content or other system resources by soliciting contributions from a large, open and potentially undefined group of people or things, rather than from employees, suppliers or experts. IoT-related Crowdsourced Systems (CS) is an emerging paradigm of systems whose IoT infrastructure is partially or totally provided by the general public; i.e. it is crowdsourced. The expected impact of CS is significant and multi-faceted. At a technical level, CS provides a methodology for opportunistically augmenting IoT and sensing infrastructure; e.g. in the context of a smart city. From a market perspective, CS paves the way for novel business and market models to emerge based on collaborative micro-economies and bottom-up innovation, lead by the public. The main obstacles that currently hinder this potential and need to be addressed are the highly diverse and heterogeneous nature of the CS constituent infrastructure, the ad-hoc and isolated development of applications based on crowdsourcing principles and the lack of an outlined toolset that can be used as a reference for CS development by the general public. This Recommendation will mitigate these obstacles by defining the concept of IoT-related CS platforms, by providing IoT-related CS platform use cases, by laying down the requirements of IoT-related CS platforms, and by providing IoT-related CS functional architecture.
