Mobile Crowd Sensing (MCS) - A First Step Towards Building Collective Intelligence
In this presentation, we will focus on the discussion of the concept of "crowd sensing", as an approach to collect data from embedded sensors in smartphones. Its positioning as a first, inexpensive, step for the building of a collective intelligence makes it a tool that is more and more popular today. This emergent paradigm comes with various applications. However, many challenges arise given users involvement in the data collection process. In this context, we will try throughout this presentation to discuss collaborative sensing schemes which tackle the following four main questions: How to assign sensing tasks to maximize data quality with energy-awareness? How to minimize the processing time of sensing tasks? How to motivate users to dedicate part of their resources to the crowdsensing process? and How to protect participants privacy and not impact data utility when reporting collected sensory data?
