• Abstract: Crowdsourced Software Engineering (CSE) offers outsourcing work to software practitioners by leveraging a global online workforce. However, these software practitioners struggle to identify suitable tasks due to the variety of options available. Hence, there have been a growing number of studies on introducing recommendation systems to recommend CSE tasks to software practitioners. The goal of this study is to analyze the existing CSE task recommendation systems, investigating their extracted data, recommendation methods, key advantages and limitations, recommended task types, the use of human factors in recommendations, popular platforms, and features used to make recommendations. This SLR was conducted according to the Kitchenham and Charters' guidelines. We used both manual and automatic search strategies without putting any time limitation for searching the relevant papers. We selected 65 primary studies for data extraction, analysis, and synthesis based on our predefined inclusion and exclusion criteria. From the results of the data analysis, we classified the extracted data into four categories based on the data extraction source, categorized the proposed recommendation systems to fit into a taxonomy, and identified the key advantages and limitations of these systems. Our results revealed that human factors play a major role in CSE task recommendation. Further, we identified five popular task types recommended, popular platforms, and their features used in task recommendation. We also provided recommendations for future research directions. This SLR provides insights into current trends, gaps, and future research directions in CSE task recommendation systems

  Strategic recommendations (SR) refer to the problem where an intelligent agent observes the sequential behaviors and activities of users and decides when and how to interact with them to optimize some long-term objectives, both for the user and the business. At Adobe research, we have been implementing such systems for various use-cases, including points of interest recommendations, tutorial recommendations, next step guidance in multi-media editing software, and ad recommendation for optimizing lifetime value. There are many research challenges when building these systems, such as modeling the sequential behavior of users, deciding when to intervene and offer recommendations without annoying the user, evaluating policies offline with
