A Incentive Mechanisms for Participatory Sensing: Survey and Research Challenges
نویسندگان
چکیده
Participatory sensing is a powerful paradigm that leverages information sent by smartphone users to collect fine-grained information on events of interest. Given participatory sensing applications rely completely on the users’ willingness to submit up-to-date and reliable information, it is paramount to effectively incentivize users’ active and reliable participation. In this paper, we survey existing literature on incentive mechanisms for participatory sensing systems. In particular, we present a systematic and comprehensive taxonomy of existing incentive mechanisms for participatory sensing systems, which are subsequently discussed and compared in depth. Finally, we discuss open problems and future research directions.

Monetary incentives in participatory sensing using multi-attributive auctions
Participation of people is the most important factor in providing high quality of service in participatory sensing applications. In this paper we study monetary incentives in order to stimulate user’s participation, especially in applications that rely on real-time data. Providing such incentives is hard because the service provider cannot determine the price at which each user would be willing...
