A Review of Semantic-Based Reasoning Framework for Context-Aware Mobile-Crowdsourcing

Technology has increased the interest and demand for pervasive systems which require contextual information to function at optimal capacity. There have been numbers of research in context-aware systems that has limited focused on the semantic-based approach in the crowdsourcing domain. Thus, it promotes challenges in the context and service acquisition and representation for reasoning control mechanism. This paper aims to review semantic-based reasoning framework with a focus on the mobile crowdsourcing domain. Different domains acquire different contextual information, either extrinsic or intrinsic. The review of the frameworks has help to formulate a process framework that applied semantic approach that has the important component for context-aware reasoning process. The framework can be used in the context-aware mobile crowdsourcing domain or can be generalized to other domain to aid reasoning control. Its advantage over other crowdsourcing frameworks which is focuses not only on context and service acquisition but also the representation on the acquired information.
