Description: The Internet has evolved into a platform on which large numbers of individuals take action and join in collaborations via crowdsourcing, social media, and electronic commerce. When designing social and economic systems on the Internet, a key challenge is understanding how to promote particular desired behaviors and outcomes. I call this problem computational environment design.
Notes: Keywords: Automated Environment Design, Automated Workflow Synthesis, Computational Environment Design, Crowdware, Human Computation and Crowdsourcing, Task Routing.
