Provenance for Online Decision Making
نویسندگان
چکیده
It is commonly believed that provenance can be utilised to form assessments about the quality, reliability or trustworthiness of data. Once presented with contradictory or questionable information, users can seek further validation by referring to its provenance. While there has been some effort to design principled methods to analyse provenance, the focus has mostly been on offline use of provenance. How to use provenance at runtime, i.e., as the application runs, to help users make decisions, has been barely investigated. In this paper, we propose a generic and application-independent approach to interpret provenance of data to make online decisions. We evaluate the system in CollabMap, an online crowd-sourcing mapping application, to make decisions about the quality of its data and to determine when the crowd’s contributions to a task are deemed to be complete.

Utilising provenance to enhance social computation
Many online platforms employ networks of human workers to perform computational tasks that can be difficult for a machine (e.g. reporting travel disruption). Such systems have to make a range of decisions, for example, selection of suitable workers for a task. In this paper we present an approach that utilises Semantic Web technologies and provenance to support such decision-making processes.
متن کاملEvaluating Quality using Sensor Metadata and Provenance∗
Assessing the quality of sensor data available on the Web is essential in order to identify reliable information for decision making. This paper discusses how sensor metadata, provenance, and previous quality ratings can influence quality assessment decisions.

Large-scale sensor networks are deployed in numerous application domains, and the data they collect are used in decision-making for critical infrastructures. Data are streamed from multiple sources through intermediate processing nodes that aggregate information. A malicious adversary may introduce additional nodes in the network or compromise existing ones. Therefore, assuring high data trustw...
