Crowd sensing is a process of acquisition, integration, and analysis of big and heterogeneous data generated by a diversity of sources in urban spaces, such as sensors, devices, vehicles, buildings, and human. With the help of cloud computing, Internet of Things, and Big Data, crowd sensing connects unobtrusive and ubiquitous sensing technologies, advanced data management and analytics models, and novel visualization methods, to create solutions that improve urban environment, human life quality, and city operation systems. Current research in crowd sensing addresses the following issues: crowd sensing as a novel methodology for user-centered research; development of new services and applications based on human sensing, computation, and problem solving; engineering of improved crowd sensing platforms including quality control mechanisms; incentive design of work; usage of crowd sensing for professional business; and theoretical frameworks for evaluation. This is opening a vast space of opportunities to extend the current networks, communications, and computer applications to more pervasive and mobile applications. Potential topics include, but are not limited to:
* Real-time crowd sensing and mobile crowd sensing
* Enterprise crowd sensing and professional business services
* Requirements for crowd sensing and implementations
* Adaptive crowd sensing platforms
* Economic and business aspects of crowd sensing and incentives for crowd sensing
* Social media, semantic web viewpoints, and crowd sensing blog platforms
* Experience reports and studies of crowd sensing (i.e., services, testing, and measurements)
* Survey papers and reviews on different aspects of crowd sensing
* Theories and practices of crowd sensing
* Use cases and applications for crowd sensing
