Network System Challenges in Selective Sharing and Verification for Personal, Social, and Urban-Scale Sensing Applications.

Abstract

We envision the blossoming of sensing applications in an urban context, enabled by increasingly affordable and portable sensing hardware, and ubiquitous wireless ac-cess to communication infrastructure. In this paper, we describe the Partisans architecture, featuring infrastructure-supported selective data sharing and verification services. This effort represents an evo-lution of activity on embedded networked sensing from the scientific application space to applications in a space that raises novel issues in privacy, security, and interac-tion with the Internet.
