Abstract: Methods and systems are disclosed for providing cloud services to multiple customers in a cloud. One embodiment includes receiving a number of requests for the cloud services from the multiple customers simultaneously or substantially simultaneously; prioritizing the requests based on a probability distribution of actually deploying a service, a budget of the customers, and an expected demand of the requested service based on the probability distribution; generating a number of cloud configurations along with a number of Service Level Agreements (SLAs) for the customers based on prioritization of the requests, a class & past behavior of the customers, and a current demand of the cloud services, the SLAs of the customers include differentiated price offering; recommending the cloud configurations and the SLAs to the customers; allowing the customers to negotiate terms of the SLAs; and providing the cloud services based on the negotiated SLAs to the customers.

Abstract: The disclosed embodiments illustrate methods and systems for formulating a policy for crowdsourcing of tasks. The method includes receiving a set of incoming tasks and a range associated with a task attribute corresponding to each task in the set of incoming tasks. Thereafter, an execution of a first policy is simulated over a period of time to determine one or more first performance metrics, associated with the execution of the first policy. The first policy is based on a first value selected from the range. Further, the first value is updated to generate a second value based on the one or more first performance metrics, wherein the second value is deterministic of the policy for crowdsourcing of the set of incoming tasks over the period of time.

Abstract: The disclosed embodiments illustrate methods and systems for crowdsourcing a task. The method comprises presenting the task to one or more crowdworkers based on their reputation scores and a redundancy degree associated with the task. The task comprises one or more sub-tasks. A plurality of responses to the task are received from the one or more crowdworkers. Each response further comprises one or more sub-responses each of which in turn corresponds to a response for a sub-task of the one or more sub-tasks. A first set of sub-tasks is identified from the one or more sub-tasks based on a first set of similar sub-responses received for the first set of sub-tasks from the plurality of responses. A first set of crowdworkers from the one or more crowdworkers who provided the first set of similar sub-responses for the first set of sub-tasks are remunerated.

Abstract translation: 所公开的实施例示出了使任务众包的方法和系统。 该方法包括基于其信誉分数和与该任务相关联的冗余程度将任务呈现给一个或多个群众工作者。 该任务包括一个或多个子任务。 从一个或多个人群中接收到对该任务的多个响应。 每个响应还包括一个或多个子响应，每个子响应又分别对应于一个或多个子任务的子任务的响应。 基于从多个响应中为第一组子任务接收的第一组相似子响应，从一个或多个子任务中识别第一组子任务。 来自一个或多个群众工作者的第一组人群工作者为第一组子任务提供了第一组相似的子回应，是有报酬的。

Abstract: A method and system for enabling a secure access to data corresponding to a task on a server is disclosed. The task is accessible at a crowdsourcing platform and performable by a crowdworker. The method includes receiving an input for accepting the task on the crowdsourcing platform. The method includes initiating at least one human response test in response to the acceptance of the task by the crowdworker on a computing device. The method includes receiving a response from the crowdworker for the at least one human response test, wherein the response is sent from the computing device. The method includes communicating at least one locator to the computing device if the response is correct. The at least one locator enables the crowdworker to access the data at the server.
