“…Harold Sackman made this very point when he suggested that realtime computing could be the tipping point for supporting and instigating public action [6]. Asserted in light of the command and control systems of the mid-1960s, Sackman's vision of the critical role of computing in shaping public action is still relevant (and unfolding): Publics can be constituted and supported with technologies that enable access to information, provide means of distributed information production, and include social mechanisms to identify and sustain individual members to mobilize and organize others around common issues.…”

“…Starting at least as far back as the 1960's, researchers have argued for the potentially transformative nature of real-time systems and data analytics for achieving a more robust public good [46]. More broadly, there is a rich history within computing in considering the role of technology in supporting both public participation in democratic process (e.g., [25,28]) and the ways technology-and data in particularmight reconfigure the running of government and the production of different classes of public services (e.g., [7,50,54]).…”

“…More recently, the smart city movement marks a turn toward developing computing technology for critical urban infrastructures [17,35,36]. Following early visions of applying data to government services [46], the smart cities research agenda is to build the computing and data resources needed to make urban operation more efficient-from smart watershed management [11], to rationalized service information [37], to environmental sensing [26,42].…”

One subclass of human computation applications are those directed at tasks that involve planning (e.g. tour planning) and scheduling (e.g. conference scheduling). Interestingly, work on these systems shows that even primitive forms of automated oversight on the human contributors helps in significantly improving the effectiveness of the humans/crowd. In this paper, we argue that the automated oversight used in these systems can be viewed as a primitive automated planner, and that there are several opportunities for more sophisticated automated planning in effectively steering crowdsourced planning. Straightforward adaptation of current planning technology is however hampered by the mismatch between the capabilities of human workers and automated planners. We identify and address two important challenges that need to be overcome before such adaptation of planning technology can occur: (i) interpreting inputs of the human workers (and the requester) and (ii) steering or critiquing plans produced by the human workers, armed only with incomplete domain and preference models. To these ends, we describe the implementation of AI-MIX, a plan generation system that uses automated checks and alerts to improve the quality of plans created by human workers.
