Computer scientists havae designed new forms of crowd-supported, mixed-initiative systems that tightly integrate crowd work, community process and intelligent user interfaces to solve complex problems that no machine nor person could solve alone. The systems can ease challenges in designing a custom trip or planning an academic conference, for example. Researchers created a tool that uses crowd sourcing to plan custom trip itineraries which enables an academic community to plan a conference by "community-sourcing."
