Despite the progress being made on generally-fast algorithms for solving intractable problems, the demands of the real world require the capability to produce reasoners that are guaranteed to return answers, however preliminary, in a guaranteed amount of time. We have been exploring an approach to this problem involving limiting the reasoning context to a current focus of attention. Preliminary...

Crowdsensing is an emerging paradigm of ubiquitous sensing, through which a crowd workers are recruited to perform sensing tasks collaboratively. Although it has stimulated many applications, open fundamental problem how select among massive number given task under limited budget. Nevertheless, due the proliferation smart devices equipped with various sensors, very difficult profile in terms ab...
