Call For Papers

The proliferation of low-cost sensors in user devices (e.g. mobile phones, notepads, cars, etc.) has inspired the idea of outsourcing sensing tasks by means of participatory sensing. The realization of this concept would enable a number of interesting applications of great social and business value, such as early seismic detection, agile crisis response, personalized smog exposure and footprint, health monitoring, etc. However, the usefulness (i.e. utility) of the sensory data is subject to uncontrolled mobility, as users move freely around, while data sensing and data transmission are costly, in terms of battery and bandwidth respectively. Furthermore, privacy concerns are raised by the users, since the sensor data can be mined and user trajectories and history of activities can be extracted. Therefore, the realization of participatory sensing involves dealing with important data management research challenges, such as storage and processing of sensor data from uncontrolled mobile sources, data quality assessment, privacy-preserving data collection, data access control, participation incentives provision, economic sustainability, etc.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:

* Efficient data collection
* Indexing schemes for mobile sensor data
* Privacy-preserving data mining
* Sensor data privacy-preserving schemes
* Privacy-preserving storage
* Secure storage and access control
* Sensor data quality and trustworthiness
* Activity mining in participatory sensing
* Data stream processing in participatory sensing
* Incentive schemes for participatory sensing
* Utility and cost analysis in participatory sensing
* Game theory in community sensing
* Data management middleware for crowdsourcing
* Participatory sensing applications that deal with one or more of the above

Authors are invited to submit original work on any of the above topics or other ones related to the participatory sensing context and its associated data management problems. The workshop is collocated with IEEE MDM 2012 (http://mdmconferences.org/mdm2012/).
