Voting is commonly used as a method for aggregating information in crowdsourcing and human computation. In many settings, one would like to use voting rules which can be efficiently elicited, preserve voter privacy, and are robust to strategic manipulation. In this paper, we give algorithms which elicit approximate winners in a way which provably satisfies all three of these requirements simult...

The goal of this research was to assess the usability of a voting system designed for current-generation smartphones. Smartphones offer remote participation in elections through the use of pervasive technology and voting on these devices could, among other benefits, increase voter participation while allowing voters to use familiar technology. We developed a mobile voting system for the iPhone ...

In the recent years it has often been discussed how elections can be conducted via the Internet. Many countries, including Germany, Estonia, Great Britain, Switzerland, USA or Austria have run tests of implementing e-Voting on different levels. Whilst offering e-Voting for public elections implies various legal problems, associations can allow for e-Voting in a relatively easy way. In this pape...

Introduction This paper is intended to introduce the subject of electronic voting. Electronic voting will be described in the context of other voting technologies. The potential benefits and risks of electronic voting systems are discussed. There will be some brief discussion of the current " environment " in terms of standards and testing programs, current and pending legislation, and electron...

Machine vision is a technologically and economically important field of computer vision. It eases automatization of inspection and manipulation tasks, which in turn enables cost savings and quality improvement in industrial processes. Usually, 2D or intensity images are used for such applications. However, thanks to several technological advances, nowadays there are sensors available that allow...

Social commerce is a digital and efficient solution to transform existing address contemporary issues. TikTok Shop, popular trending social platform, competes with established competitors like Facebook Marketplace Instagram Shop. Shop offers benefits incentives attract users for both sales product purchases. In this study, various algorithmic approaches such as Naïve Bayes, K-Nearest Neighbor, ...

Voting is a way for a voter to make a decision or express an opinion or to choose a candidate. E-voting (Electronic Voting) refers to both the electronic means of casting a vote and the electronic means of counting and publishing that votes. The E voting system has some specific advantages as compared to the traditional voting system. In this paper, a secure and efficient e-voting protocol is p...

All the currently existing homomorphic e-voting schemes are based on additive homomorphism. In this paper a new e-voting scheme based on multiplicative homomorphism is proposed. In the tallying phase, a decryption is performed to recover the product of the votes, instead of the sum of them (as in the additive homomorphic e-voting schemes). Then, the product is factorized to recover the votes. T...

Voting tools have been incorporated into Group Support Systems (GSS) for a long time. However, theory and research on voting in GSS have been neglected. This paper reviews findings of GSS research on voting and examines the lessons learned on using voting tools in GSS. A framework is proposed to investigate voting in GSS. Additionally, directions for future research are discussed
