Request driven social sensing (demonstration)

Using a scenario of collecting weather data, we present a simulation of a crowdsourcing system for social sensing using mobile sensors, driven by the requests of other users. Users control how and when their mobile sensors are used, and may exhibit cooperative and non–cooperative behaviour. To facilitate social sensing, our system includes an implementation of intelligent data aggregation. The simulator allows the analysis of user control, selfish behaviour, and data aggregation in a realistic setting
