*Call for Papers:* *Special issue on **Mobile Ubiquitous** Sensing: from Social Network Viewpoint*
*Scope:*
The emergence of wireless sensor networks (WSNs) has opened up a new door to information retrieving and built up a bridge between the physical world and information domain. A major factor that impedes the applicability of sensor networks is the huge deployment cost and management overhead. The past few years have witnessed the dramatic proliferation of portable mobile devices, such as smart phones and tablet computers. Notably, these popular pocket-sized gadgets are embedded with a set of versatile sensors, which could provide abundant data about individuals, human society and environments. This new mobile sensor network formed by mobile devices provides a new horizon for ubiquitous sensing at a low cost.
Under the new paradigm of mobile ubiquitous sensing, each mobile device is held by an individual. The underlying social tie among individuals will play an important role in the mobile sensing process. It is, therefore, of great interest to study the mobile ubiquitous sensing from the perspective of social networks. This issue has not received much attention though the traditional way of ubiquitous sensing has, instead, been extensively investigated.
Topics of primary interest include, but not limited to:
l System/platform designs to enable mobile sensing
l Incentives mechanism design to guarantee the coverage, i.e., quality of sensing.
l Social structure modeling and analysis
l Coverage improvement design via social structure
l Individual behavior modeling and analysis
l Architectural, modeling and simulation of mobile ubiquitous sensing
l New applications on ubiquitous sensing
l Energy-efficient and real-time communication protocols design
l Privacy and security preserving protocol design for mobile sensing
