Mobile crowdsourcing takes advantage of mobile devices such as smart phones and tablets to process data for a lot of applications (e.g., geotagging for mobile touring guiding monitoring and spectrum sensing). In this paper, we propose a mobile crowdsourcing paradigm to make a task requester exploit encountered mobile workers for high-quality results. Since a task may be too complex for a single worker, it is necessary for a task requester to divide a complex task into several parts so that a mobile worker can finish a part of the task easily. We describe the task crowdsourcing process and propose the worker arrival model and task model. Furthermore, the probability that all parts of the complicated task are executed by mobile workers is introduced to evaluate the result of task crowdsourcing. Based on these models, considering computing capacity and rewards for mobile workers, we formulate a task partition problem to maximize the introduced probability which is used to evaluate the result of task crowdsourcing. Then, using a Markov chain, a task partition policy is designed for the task requester to realize high-quality mobile crowdsourcing. With this task partition policy, the task requester is able to divide the complicated task into precise number of parts based on mobile workers’ arrival, and the probability that the total parts are executed by mobile workers is maximized. Also, the invalid number of task assignment attempts is analyzed accurately, which is helpful to evaluate the resource consumption of requesters due to probing potential workers. Simulations show that our task partition policy improves the results of task crowdsourcing.

<span>IoT is the succeeding cohort of the digital computing environment. A swift progression in the IoT deployment and its applications are on the rise. Improving load balancing mechanisms induces healthier performance of the internet based computing as higher number of users can be comfortable. Implementing full services for tasks with unstable concurrency is an uphill process. One of the encounters allied with this administration is the task partition among the applications, regularly referred as concurrent programs. Through load balancing not only resources are equally utilized but also concurrent job’s response time can be promoted. Therefore, in this paper the widely used load balancing algorithms are investigated and yet the proposed algorithm is introduced. Simulation is employed in order to compare the performance metrics such as mean queue length, utilization and throughput between the recommended and existing algorithms. The proposed algorithm confirms the load balancing and outperforms when processing unstable concurrent programs.</span>
