Over the last couple of years, as the community and businesses have begun
to realize the power of jointly harnessing nomadic mobile sensing and
selective infrastructure-based ambient sensing, we are beginning to see the
emergence of a class of “urban crowdsensing” platforms that perform
pervasive sensing in a more coordinated fashion. Such combined sensing
opens up the possibilities for exciting new applications in a variety of
urban spaces, both outdoors (e.g., crowd coordination in theme parks,
public safety monitoring in major public events, public health management)
and indoors (e.g., healthcare, intelligent retail in shopping malls &
energy-efficient building operations).
Driven by these trends, this workshop seeks to bring together researchers
and practitioners working on urban and crowd-driven sensing. We invite
original research work focusing on large or innovative crowdsensing
architectures, systems and platforms and their experiences on developing
crowdsensing applications impacting urban lifestyles in a variety of areas.
The workshop especially solicits early/upcoming research ideas, where
interactions may provide authors with valuable early feedback. The topics
of interests broadly include, but are not limited to:
Data sourcing and aggregation:
o Innovative use of the sensors to capture
real world phenomenon
o Energy efficient sensing
o Utility oriented sensing
o Data modeling and aggregation
o Incentive models
o Privacy concerns
System or Platform Architecture
o Data processing and analysis
o Contextual/Semantic interpretation of
sensor data
o Security models
o Real-time stream computing and
cloud-based platforms
o Crowdsensing middleware platforms
Applications
o Innovative applications impacting urban
lives
o User interface for crowdsensing
applications
o Case studies around applying crowdsensing
to a particular domain, such as retail, healthcare (mHealth),
transportation, governance, etc.
o Tools, technologies and programming
abstractions for developing crowdsensing applications
o Cross leveraging social networks for
effective crowdsensing
