The paper analyses the challenges and problems posed by the use of Volunteered
Geographic Information (VGI) in citizen science and a proposal is formulated for assessing …

Conventional cryptography methods alone are not adequate for secure routing in Wireless
Sensor Networks (WSNs). These networks are more vulnerable to security attacks due to …

Participatory sensing (PS) has recently attracted tremendous attention given its potential for
a wide variety of sensing applications. Due to the fact that PS systems rely completely on the …

The broad capabilities of widespread mobile devices have paved the way for People-Centric
Sensing (PCS). This emerging paradigm enables direct user involvement in possibly large …

Background Algal mass occurrences are one of the most distinguishing effects of
eutrophication in lakes and the coastal waters of the Baltic Sea. Algal bloom occurrence in …

Citizen sensing is a new sensor-based data collection paradigm and is focused on the
extraction of data generated by people. Initiatives based on this concept are becoming …

In typical participatory sensing applications, mobile devices record a variety of sensor
readings (eg, sound samples and accelerometer data), which are tagged with …

Crowdsensing has the potential to support human-driven sensing and data collection at an
unprecedented scale. While many organizers of data collection campaigns may have …

Adaptive Trust Model (ATM) for secure geographic routing has been presented in this paper.
Unlike conventional weight based trust models, ATM adjusts the weights associated with the …
