CyLog: A Logic-based Language for Complex Crowdsourcing and Cybernetic Intelligence

CyLog is an executable logic-based declarative language to write crowdsourcing applications that require complex dataflows among human and machine computations. Its syntax is similar to Datalog and Prolog. CyLog has been used to implement complex crowdsourcing applications since 2009. Crowd4U has the latest CyLog engine and all crowdsourcing projects running on Crowd4U are written in CyLog.
