Abstract

Diversity in crowdsourcing systems in terms of processes, participants, workflow, and technologies is quite problematic; as there is no standard guidance to inform the designing process of such crowdsourcing ideation system. To build a well-engineered crowdsourcing system with different ideation and collaboration components, a software architecture model is needed to guide the design of the collaborative ideation process. Within this general context, this paper is focused to create a vision for the architectural design for crowdsourcing collaborative idea generation, with an attempt to provide the required features for coordinating and aggregating ideation of individual participants into collective solutions.
