Participatory sensing

Participatory Sensing is the concept of communities (or other groups of people) contributing sensory information to form a body of knowledge.[1]

A growth in mobile devices, such as the iPhone, which has multiple sensors, has made participatory sensing viable in the large-scale. Participatory sensing can be used to retrieve information about the environment, weather, urban mobility,[2] congestion as well as any other sensory information that collectively forms knowledge.

Such open communication systems could pose challenges to the veracity of transmitted information. Individual sensors may require a trusted platform [3] or hierarchical trust structures.[4]

Additional challenges include, but are not limited to, effective incentives for participation,[5] security,[6] reputation [7] and privacy.[8]
