Disclosed is a computer-implemented method () of assigning a task to a mobile communication device () belonging to a pool () of mobile communication devices, wherein each mobile communications device is associated with a trusted owner and is locatable by means of location information, the method comprising generating () a task to be performed; generating a set of task locations at which the task can be performed; receiving () location information for said mobile communications devices; deriving () a location for each mobile communications device from said location information; using the derived location to calculate () a cost score for each mobile communication device, said cost score indicating the cost of the trusted owner of said mobile communication device to reach a target location; and assigning () the task to a selected location in said set and to one of said mobile communications devices, wherein the task is assigned to the one of said mobile communications devices based on the calculated cost scores. A computer program product including program code for executing this method on a computer processor and a system adapted to execute this method are also disclosed.
