Designing and Analyzing Human-in-the-Loop Service Compositions

To ensure the quality and performance of service compositions in a smart city, combining human services and automated services is expected to be a potential solution in various real-world scenarios. In this monograph, we summarize our research efforts on designing and analyzing human-in-the-loop service compositions, in the practical aspects and theoretical aspects as well. First, we describe how we design a practical human-in-the-loop translation service composition for supporting localization processes and real-world multilingual activities. Then, we propose theoretical crowdsourcing workflow models to study and analyze how human service workflows could achieve optimal performances in various situations.
