Time banking refers to community-based volunteering in which participants provide and receive services; for example, one neighbor might be a competent handyman, another has a heavy-duty pickup truck. Each can provide community service doing what he/she can do for other members. For this, they receive time credits that can be exchanged for other services, say, gardening. A community brokering entity, a time bank, keeps track of time credits earned and redeemed. Time banks have pervasive implications for conceptions of work, citizenship, volunteering, community engagement, and social inclusion. Time banking has spread rapidly in recent years throughout the world.Current time banking focuses on asynchronous transactions. This project will incorporate mobile computing and Web 2.0 services to carry out a design research investigation of mobile time banking. The work will support finer grain, near-real time scheduling of neighborhood service exchanges. This approach allows many new time banking possibilities. For example, a child comes home from school with a headache. His mother posts a request, and a neighbor who is stopping at the local drug store anyway gets the aspirin.Broader impacts: This project will fundamentally extend the concept of time banking, and support for time banking throughout the world, by directly extending current time banking infrastructures. It can provide domestic and community infrastructure to ease the busyness stresses of too many to-dos, while enhancing quality of life through improved health and sense of community. It can increase the visibility and valuing of informal quasi-work activities that are often devalued in money-based economies, and facilitate the transition from volunteer activity to paid work, a key policy strategy for reducing chronic unemployment. This project integrates education, research, and community service for student participants. The PIs will work with campus programs to ensure that a diversity of students is aware of our work.

时间银行是指参与者提供和接收服务的基于社区的志愿服务；例如，一个邻居可能是一个有能力的杂工，另一个邻居有一辆重型皮卡车。每个人都可以为他/她可以为其他成员做的事情提供社区服务。为此，他们获得了可以换成其他服务的时间积分，例如园艺。一个社区经纪实体，一个时间表，跟踪获得和赎回的时间积分。时间银行对工作概念，公民身份，志愿服务，社区参与和社会包容都有普遍的影响。近年来，时间银行业务在全球范围内迅速传播。现行时间银行业务集中于异步交易。该项目将结合移动计算和Web 2.0服务，以对移动时间银行业务进行设计研究调查。这项工作将支持更精细的谷物，近乎实际的邻里服务交流时间安排。这种方法允许许多新的时间银行业务可能性。例如，一个孩子因头痛而放学回家。他的母亲发布了一个请求，无论如何都在当地药品商店停下来获得阿司匹林的影响。BRODERIMPACTS：该项目将通过直接扩展当前的时光银行业基础设施，从根本上扩展时间银行业的概念，并支持全世界的时间银行业务。它可以提供家庭和社区基础设施，以减轻太多待办事项的忙碌压力，同时通过改善健康和社区意识来提高生活质量。它可以增加经常在货币经济体中贬值的非正式准工作活动的可见性和评估，并促进从志愿活动到有偿工作的过渡，这是减少慢性失业的关键政策策略。该项目为学生参与者整合了教育，研究和社区服务。 PI将与校园计划合作，以确保各种各样的学生知道我们的工作。
