Opportunistic and Participatory Sensing Using Mobile Phones

The number of mobile phone subscriptions worldwide is increasing on a daily
basis and so is the number of services offered to customers and applications
running on mobile phones. Mobile phones have a number of valuable features,
which have given them the potential to become the one and only operational
large-scale wireless sensor network. Their pervasive communication, built-in
and expandable sensing functionality, powerful processing capability and memory
capacity, reasonable small size, light weight, and public availability as well
as ubiquitous network infrastructures have made them suitable sensing,
communication, processing, and data mulling devices. Mobile phones are now all
about data, services, and applications as voice usage decreases. An interesting
observation here is the willingness and interest of mobile consumers to enhance
their experience and performance of the applications at hand on a voluntary
basis.
This special issue solicits original contributions, addressing trends,
potential, requirements, and challenges of use of mobile phones on a voluntary
and participatory basis for monitoring, maintenance, and control applications.
Papers describing novel solutions and practical approaches or engineering
contributions that are extensively tested in either simulation environments or
real-world experimental settings are especially welcome. Potential topics
include, but are not limited to:
- Participatory sensing, crowdsourcing, and opportunistic sensing paradigms
and applications
- Novel architectures to support participatory sensing applications
- Large-scale mobile and sensing data mining, learning, and reasoning
- Mobile cloud computing
- Experiment and campaign design
- Availability and research prototypes of miniature sensors and their
integration into cellular phones
- Integration of on-phone and off-phone sensing
- Incentive paradigms for mobile sensing applications
- Energy-efficient and computationally inexpensive privacy preservation and
security mechanisms
- Data validation techniques to deal with erroneous data (intentionally and
unintentionally)
- Data visualization techniques
- New business models for mobile sensing data and applications
- Software platforms for remote sensing using smartphones
- Effect of mobility models on opportunistic collaboration
