CS 410/510 Advanced
Sensor Networks – Participatory and Urban Sensing
Instructor: Dr. Nirupama Bulusu
Fridays 9-12:40pm
“Participatory sensing tasks everyday mobile devices, such as cellular phones, to form interactive, participatory sensor networks that enable public and private users to gather, analyze and share local knowledge.”
- Jeff Burke et al, Nov. 2006.
This course focuses on the application opportunities as well as the technical challenges for participatory sensing. It consists of two primary components:
We will be reading recent research papers on urban and people-centric sensing. The class will be divided into a number of paper groups. Each student is expected to present and lead a discussion of some of the papers. All students are required to submit summaries of papers for each paper group.
Each student will work on a quarter-long research project. You are expected to submit a project proposal at the end of the third week. Students are expected to report on their progress bi-weekly during class. At the end of the term, you are expected to do a presentation of your research project, and submit an 8-page conference style research paper on your work.
The following is a preliminary list of papers for discussion, in the emerging area on participatory and urban sensing. As we converge on research project themes, we will eventually add papers from other related areas that are relevant to the projects.
