Crowdsourcing and human computation are transforming human-computer interaction, and
CHI has led the way. The seminal publication in human computation was initially published
in CHI in 2004 [1], and the first paper investigating Mechanical Turk as a user study platform
has amassed over one hundred citations in two years [5]. However, we are just beginning to

Crowdsourcing and human computation are transforming human-computer interaction, and CHI has led the way. The seminal publication in human computation was initially published in CHI in 2004 [1], and the first paper investigating Mechanical Turk as a user study platform has amassed over one hundred citations in two years [5]. However, we are just beginning to stake out a coherent research agenda for the field. This workshop will bring together researchers in the young field of crowdsourcing and human computation and produce three artifacts: a research agenda for the field, a vision for ideal crowdsourcing platforms, and a group-edited bibliography. These resources will be publically disseminated on the web and evolved and maintained by the community.
