Opportunistic and Participatory Sensing Using Mobile Phones

Call for Papers

http://www.hindawi.com/journals/ijdsn/si/637873/cfp/

 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
