Preserving privacy in participatory sensing systems

Computer Communications, 2010
The ubiquity of mobile devices has brought forth the concept of participatory sensing, whereby ordinary citizens can now contribute and share information from the urban environment. However, such applications introduce a key research challenge: preserving the privacy of the individuals contributing data.

Dynamic pricing incentive for participatory sensing

Pervasive and Mobile Computing, 2010
User participation is one of the most important elements in participatory sensing application for providing adequate level of service quality. However, incentive mechanism and its economic model for user participation have been less addressed so far in this research domain.

A Survey of Incentive Mechanisms for Participatory Sensing

IEEE Communications Surveys and Tutorials, 2015
Participatory sensing is now becoming more popular and has shown its great potential in various applications. It was originally proposed to recruit ordinary citizens to collect and share massive amounts of sensory data using their portable smart devices.

Participatory Sensing in Environmental Monitoring -- Experiences

2012 Sixth International Conference on Innovative Mobile and Internet Services in Ubiquitous Computing, 2012
In this paper we describe our experiences in applying the concept of participatory sensing to environmental monitoring. We have run pilot trials for air quality, water quality and plant disease monitoring. In these pilots, users have reported their personal observations or measurements of various environmental phenomena, using special locationbased ...

Participation and reporting in participatory sensing

2014 12th International Symposium on Modeling and Optimization in Mobile, Ad Hoc, and Wireless Networks (WiOpt), 2014
In participatory sensing (PS), users use smartphones to collect information related to a certain phenomenon of interest, and report their sensed data to the service provider through cellular or Wi-Fi networks. Previous studies on the incentive mechanism design for user participation often neglect the details of data reporting, which is non-trivial ...

Experiences of participatory sensing in the wild

Proceedings of the 11th international conference on Ubiquitous computing, 2009
We present two studies of participatory sensing in the wild, in which groups of young people used sensors to collect environmental data along with contextual information such as photographs and written observations. These studies reveal how participants focused their attention on key events of interest, providing detailed information over a background ...

Participatory sensing for community building

CHI '11 Extended Abstracts on Human Factors in Computing Systems, 2011
In this research, we explore the viability of using participatory sensing as a means to enhance a sense of community. To accomplish this, we are developing and deploying a suite of participatory sensing applications, where users explicitly report on the state of their environment, such as the location of the bus.

Participatory sensing

Proceedings of the 8th international conference on Mobile systems, applications, and services, 2010
Participatory sensing is the process whereby individuals and communities use ever-more-capable mobile phones and cloud services to collect and analyze systematic data for use in discovery. The convergence of technology and analytical innovation with a citizenry that is increasingly comfortable using mobile phones and online social networking sets the ...
