Abstract

With the increasingly popularity of user-centric mobile sensing and computing devices, e.g., smart phones, in-vehicle sensing devices and wearable devices, our knowledge of the physical world is extended by opening a new door to collect and process data about social events and natural phenomena [1, 2]. This alternative has triggered the emergence of mobile crowdsensing (MCS) services [3]. In MCS, individuals cooperatively sense data for the tasks released by customers and extract information to measure and map phenomena of common interests using their mobile devices [4].
