Methods and systems are disclosed for providing cloud services to multiple customers in a cloud. One embodiment includes receiving a number of requests for the cloud services from the multiple customers simultaneously or substantially simultaneously; prioritizing the requests based on a probability distribution of actually deploying a service, a budget of the customers, and an expected demand of the requested service based on the probability distribution; generating a number of cloud configurations along with a number of Service Level Agreements (SLAs) for the customers based on prioritization of the requests, a class & past behavior of the customers, and a current demand of the cloud services, the SLAs of the customers include differentiated price offering; recommending the cloud configurations and the SLAs to the customers; allowing the customers to negotiate terms of the SLAs; and providing the cloud services based on the negotiated SLAs to the customers.

The present disclosure provides a method for incenting potential contributors for creating content in response to a posting. The method comprises: posting a task to a first crowdsource with the task having a first expiry period of &#x3b4;; waiting for &#x3b4;period to expire; determining whether the task is complete; reposting the task if not complete including a second expiry period of &#x3b4;; waiting for the second period of &#x3b4;to expire; reposting the task if not yet complete including an increased reward and a third expiry period of &#x3b4;; waiting for the third period of &#x3b4;to expire; and, reposting the task if still not complete, wherein the reposting includes a second crowdsource.

A method and system to determine a computational resource requirement is described. The method and system rank one or more computational resources for each of the plurality of tasks in an ascending order, based on a cost associated with the plurality of tasks for each of the computational resource. Based on the ranked one or more computational resources and a fairness metric, the method and system allocates the one or more capacity units associated with the computational resource to perform the plurality of tasks. The method and system determines the computational resource requirement to perform the plurality of tasks based on the allocated one or more capacity units. The fairness metric ensures that allocation of the one or more capacity units to the plurality of tasks is performed in a manner to maximize the fairness.

Methods and systems for determining computational resource requirement

The disclosed embodiments illustrate methods and systems for creating one or more tasks of digitizing an electronic document. The electronic document comprises one or more fields. The method comprising receiving inputs to define one or more characteristics associated with each of the one or more fields. The one or more fields are categorized in one or more groups based on the one or more characteristics. Additionally, a task is created for each of the one or more categorized fields based on the one or more characteristics associated with each of the one or more categorized fields, wherein the task comprises at least a user interface for facilitating at least one remote worker to input a response for the task.

Methods and systems for sharing computational resources. A request from a first node is received for the one or more computational resources. The request comprises a service level agreement (SLA) associated with the requested one or more computational resources. The request is compared with one or more advertisements sent by at least two second nodes, other than the first node. The one or more advertisements correspond to an availability of a set of computational resources associated with each of the at least two second nodes. A portion of computational resources from the set of computational resources associated with each of the at least two second nodes is allocated to the first node, based on the comparison, such that a combination of the portion of computational resources satisfy the SLA associated with the request.

A method for processing an electronic document is provided. The electronic document includes a plurality of text fields and a text label associated with each of the plurality of text fields. The method includes step of extracting the plurality of text fields from the electronic document. The method includes step of grouping the plurality of extracted text fields to generate a plurality of groups. The method includes step of labeling the plurality of groups based on a first pre-defined criteria to generate a plurality of labeled groups. The method includes step of distributing the plurality of labeled groups in a plurality of queues based on a second pre-defined criteria. The method includes step of transmitting the plurality of labeled groups from the plurality of queues to one or more crowdworkers based on a third pre-defined criteria.
