The Use of Mobile Devices as Group Wisdom Support Systems to Support Dynamic Crowdsourcing Efforts

摘要

Early group decision support systems (GDSS) literature discussed how group size and member proximity impacted the design of the room and technology necessary to facilitate group decision-making. A Legislative Session is the early term for a large group that holds face to face meetings. With advances in mobile technology, we can turn any large group meeting into an opportunity to capture the wisdom of the crowd. This paper will describe how both crowdsourcing initiatives and group wisdom support systems (GWSS) initiatives can be supported by mobile devices. An example of a keynote address at an academic conference and the use of JoinSpeaker technology will be presented as a way to hold a dynamic crowdsourcing efforts.
