Abstract

This paper discusses an approach to designing a ubiquitous crowdsourcing environment based on the lessons learned from the experiences of developing mobile collaboration systems. A data-centric approach is introduced to exploit metropolitan-scale human-mobility data for the provision of macroscopic awareness about people and places, which can facilitate the design and use of a geocentric crowdsourcing environment. Roles of such macroscopic awareness are examined based on the conceptual frameworks of distributed collaboration and spatial experiences.
