 IEEE Pervasive Computing Special issue on Pervasive Analytics and Citizen 
Science  

http://www.computer.org/portal/web/computingnow/pccfp2



Submission deadline: 1 July 2013

Publication: April-June 2014



Data is everywhere-from the sensors in our personal mobile devices to smart 
buildings, vehicles, the environment, city infrastructure, and beyond. But how 
will we collect, use, and act on this data? What role will social media play in 
coordinating our relationship to this data? How will we interact with and 
experience this data-personally and collectively? Providing more than data as 
an end unto itself, consider what new interfaces this will provide to our 
friends, neighborhoods, urban infrastructure, rural landscapes, and the 
environment. These technologies, novel data feeds, and citizen measurements 
will mold and shape urban planning, environmental monitoring, transportation, 
human mobility, traffic, economic disparities, energy consumption, civic 
government, and our own personal relationship with these "places." How will 
such designs promote civic engagement, activism, grassroots campaigns, social 
relationships, and a deeper sense of community?



The aim of this special issue is to explore aspects and solutions related to 
the use of pervasive computing technologies as they relate to informing our 
understanding of the dynamics of our community and surroundings. We are 
particularly interested in systems that aim to not only explore the 
technologies but also offer practical solutions and improvements to citizens' 
everyday lives. In the same way, the integration of sensing and social media 
related solutions is of interest.



The guest editors invite original and high-quality submissions addressing all 
aspects of this field, as long as the connection to the focus topic is clear 
and emphasized. Relevant topics include, but are not limited to, the following:



                * Improving understanding of the environment through pervasive 
sensing and social media
