Monitoring the status of iBeacons with crowd sensing
2017 IEEE International Conference on Communications (ICC), 2017Since Apple introduced the iBeacons in Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) 2013, the iBeacon has been rapidly accepted and generalized in the market. For the deployed iBeacons, it is necessary to monitor their status. In this paper, we design a crowd sensing based monitoring framework which combines the moving and static schemas of participants to ...

A Crowd-Sensing System for Geomatics Applications
2019Risk prevention is recognized as one of the most critical aspects of the policies of environmental monitoring. Because of the limited resources and the large amount of structures used for erosion control and slope protection, the Civil Protection and the Italian Forestry Carabinieri are not able to supervise them directly, with enough frequency.

Mobile Crowd Sensing for Solidarity Campaigns
2015We present an ongoing project (This work is partially supported by the InfoCrowds project-PTDC/ECM-TRA/1898/2012 This work is supported by CISUC, via national funding by the FCT - Fundacao para a Ciencia e Tecnologia.) which has two separate strands, one refers to the technological study about the applicability of high performance and high availability

Human factors in crowd-assisted sensing
2017 IEEE International Conference on Pervasive Computing and Communications Workshops (PerCom Workshops), 2017The paradigm of crowd-assisted sensing primarily relies on volunteers, who use their personal devices to collect sensor information. To foster participants' contributions and hence ensure the viability of the underlying applications, different approaches, such as novel incentive schemes and privacy-preserving mechanisms, have been proposed.

On scheduling of real-time sensing tasks in mobile crowd sensing
2015 IEEE Wireless Communications and Networking Conference (WCNC), 2015In the area of Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) based indoor localization, the Received Signal Strength (RSS) fingerprinting based localization technique has been studied extensively. Site survey phase in RSS fingerprinting is always considered to be time-consuming and labor intensive.

QoS-constrained sensing task assignment for mobile crowd sensing
2014 IEEE Global Communications Conference, 2014The ubiquitous sensing-capable mobile devices have been fuelling the new paradigm of Mobile Crowd Sensing (MCS) to collect data about their surrounding environment. To ensure the timeliness and quality of the data samples in MCS, it is critical to select qualified participants to maintain sensing coverage ratios over important spatial areas (i.e ...

Crowd sensing with execution uncertainty
Proceedings of the 16th ACM/IEEE International Conference on Information Processing in Sensor Networks, 2017In this study, we propose a crowd sensing framework with the existence of execution uncertainty and a given budget. Our framework consists of three stages: Task Selection, Task Allocation, and Payment. Within each stage, we define the design problems and give a preliminary solution with desirable theoretic properties.
