Abstract: One or more embodiments manage web-based crowdsourcing of tasks to an unrelated group of workers. An information set associated with a task to be crowdsourced is received from at least one customer that is associated with the task. This information set comprises at least a description of the task, a reward to be provided for completion of the task, and at least one adjudication rule for accepting a task result. At least one advertising campaign for the task is created based on the information set. The advertising campaign is published for access by a set of one or more worker systems. At least one task result associated with the task is received from at least one of the set of one or more of the worker systems. The task result is compared against the rule. Task results are received and compared to the adjudication rule until the rule is satisfied.

Abstract: What is provided are a system and method which enables an organization or user to manage computational services in a cloud computing network for security, compliance and governance. The management including creating a trusted virtual network including encrypted data storage, encrypted data transport, and trusted instances of servers all communicatively coupled together forming a trusted cloud computing environment that is associated with the organization. A web portal running on a web server provides a point of access to the cloud computing environment. A workflow is accessed to implement one or more policies in trusted computing environment to manage the trusted cloud computing environment, the workflow customized to the organization. The access control; and to the trusted cloud computing environment is used to ensure access by users authorized by the organization to ensure compliance with adopted standards.
