In particular we show how the task atomization and distribution can help to obtain results in an efficient way. Our proposal is based on a recursive splitting of the original task into a set of smaller and simpler tasks. As a result both more accurate and faster solutions are obtained. Our evaluation is performed on a set of ancient documents that need to be digitized. %U http://refbase.cvc.uab.es/files/SLA2013.pdf %U http://dx.doi.org/10.1145/2506364.2506371 %P 21-22
