TL;DR: This paper analyzed and compares different incentive mechanisms for a client to motivate the collaboration of smartphone users on both data acquisition and distributed computing applications and proposes a reward-based collaboration mechanism.

TL;DR: Zhang et al. as mentioned in this paper proposed a reward-based collaboration mechanism, where the master announces a total reward to be shared among collaborators, and the collaboration is successful if there are enough users wanting to collaborate.

TL;DR: This paper analyzes and compares different incentive mechanisms for a master to motivate the collaboration of smartphone users on both data acquisition and distributed computing applications and studies how the master can design an optimal contract by specifying different task-reward combinations for different user types.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors propose a communication system where a bridge apparatus determines a communication apparatus being a transmission destination of a frame among communication apparatuses in the ad hoc network on the basis of the routing table, and generates a second frame the first field of which has a data link layer address of the determined communication apparatus.

TL;DR: A new type of range-free localization method based on affine transformation that works well even in a non-convex hull deployment, such as a terrain with big regions without sensors.
