| description | The digital revolution alongsile with die evolution of social networking and portable platform has opened a lot of possibilities. In particular, the terms crowdsourcing and citi.zen science have acquired special meanings, referring to a new approach of performing tedious and repetitive work which was formerly being conducted by traditional dedicated employees. In this survey, these new trends are discussed by analyzing several uperimental researches and practical examples. The paper illustrates the key aspects and the multifaceted representations of the crowdsourcing phenomenon starting from definitions and underlying working principles and motivations. Some practical examples are then discussed focusing on all the most relevant forms of adoption of dJ.ese approaches, such as volunteering contribution in online communities, indirect crowdsourcing and gamification. |
