Volunteer Sensing: The New Paradigm of Social Sensing

摘要

Mobile platform has been widely used in social computing and networking thanks to its powerful computing and sensing ability. Various mobile sensing frameworks have been developed to facilitate the human participation in social environment. However, problems exist in current solutions such as how to maintain large number of participants to run long-term real social projects. We propose a new sensing paradigm called Volunteer Sensing to provide a suitable framework, which reduces the participants duty and enlarge the usage of resources.
