Crowd sourcing (CS) systems offer a new way for businesses and individuals to leverage on the power of mass collaboration to accomplish complex tasks in a divide-and-conquer manner. In existing CS systems, no facility has been provided for analyzing the trustworthiness of workers and providing decision support for allocating tasks to workers, which leads to high dependency of the quality of work on the behavior of workers in CS systems as shown in this paper. To address this problem, trust management mechanisms are urgently needed. Traditional trust management techniques are focused on identifying the most trustworthy service providers (SPs) as accurately as possible. Little thoughts were given to the question of how to utilize these SPs due to two common assumptions: 1) an SP can serve an unlimited number of requests in one time unit, and 2) a service consumer (SC) only needs to select one SP for interaction to complete a task. However, in CS systems, these two assumptions are no longer valid. Thus, existing models cannot be directly used for trust management in CS systems. This paper takes the first step towards a systematic investigation of trust management in CS systems by extending existing trust management models for CS trust management and conducting extensive experiments to study and analyze the performance of various trust management models in crowd sourcing. In this paper, the following key contributions are made. We 1) propose extensions to existing trust management approaches to enable them to operate in CS systems, 2) design a simulation test-bed based on the system characteristics of Amazon's Mechanical Turk (AMT) to make evaluation close to practical CS systems, 3) discuss the effect of incorporating trust management into CS system on the overall social welfare, and 4) identify the challenges and opportunities for future trust management research in CS systems.

Some expanded fuzzy rough sets models have been investigated to handle fuzzy databases with uncertain, imprecise and incomplete real-valued information. In this paper, we make further research on fuzzy rough sets models in fuzzy environment, and we generalize rough fuzzy sets model based on a covering to fuzzy rough sets model based on a fuzzy covering. The lower and upper approximations of fuzzy subsets are defined based on a fuzzy covering, and basic properties are investigated. Then, the axiom definition of the lower approximation operator is given. It is shown that the rough fuzzy sets model based on a covering is a special instance of the fuzzy rough sets model based on a fuzzy covering.

The Web Services Business Process Execution Language (BPEL) is a language used to specify compositions of web services. In the last few years, a considerable amount of work has been done on modeling (parts of) BPEL and developing verification techniques and tools for BPEL. Petri nets and formal languages have been widely used to model Web services composition, but temporal value passing calculus of communicating systems (TVPCCS) language seems to be more adequate for several reasons. Generally BPEL programs are mapped to other languages and then the verification is performed, A more promising way is to directly build TVPCCS model, to check it and then map it to a BPEL process model. This paper describes a mapping from TVPCCS onto BPEL process model.

Using Particle Swarm Optimization to handle complex functions with high-dimension it has the problems of low convergence speed and sensitivity to local convergence. The convergence of particle swarm algorithm is studied from the dynamic system theory, and the condition for the convergence of particle swarm algorithm is given. The analysis provided qualitative guidelines for the general algorithm parameter selection. Results of numerical tests show the efficiency of the results.
