Abstract | Participatory sensing has been emerging as an economical and practical way to collect and share information on the surrounding environment. The information includes both physical data produced by embedded sensors in the smart device and the observation and reasoning from human participants. However, most of the existing participatory sensing applications lack multi-functional capabilities; they are designed to collect one single or limited types of information. In this paper, we first identify the most important requirements of a multi-purpose participatory sensing application, based on a comprehensive literature review. We then propose a generic participatory sensing framework - Citizense - that emphasizes ease of use, and allows the creation, execution of context-aware, multi-purpose participatory sensing campaigns, and analysis of the results. We discuss the architecture, design and prototype implementation, and compare it against the earlier identified requirements. |
