TL;DR

P-Sense is presented, a participatory sensing application for air pollution monitoring and control and several other research-oriented problems that need to be addressed before these applications can be effectively implemented in practice, in a large-scale deployment.

Abstract

This article presents P-Sense, a participatory sensing application for air pollution monitoring and control. The paper describes in detail the system architecture and individual components of a successfully implemented application. In addition, the paper points out several other research-oriented problems that need to be addressed before these applications can be effectively implemented in practice, in a large-scale deployment. Security, privacy, data visualization and validation, and incentives are part of our work-in-progress activities

Sell your experiences: a market mechanism based incentive for participatory sensing

402 Citations2010Juong-Sik Lee, Baik Hoh

A novel Reverse Auction based Dynamic Price (RADP) incentive mechanism, where users can sell their sensing data to a service provider with users' claimed bid prices, which reduces the incentive cost for retaining same number of participants by more than 60% and improves the fairness of incentive distribution and social welfare.
