TLDR
Embedded networked sensing, having successfully shifted from the lab to the environment, is primed for a more contentious move to the city to where citizens will likely be the target of data collection.Abstract:
Embedded networked sensing, having successfully shifted from the lab to the environment, is primed for a more contentious move to the city to where citizens will likely be the target of data collection. This transition will warrant careful study and touch on issues that go far beyond the scientific realm.read more

The Tragedy of the Anticommons: Property in the Transition from Marx to Markets
TL;DR: Anticommons property as mentioned in this paper is the mirror image of commons property, where multiple owners are each endowed with the privilege to use a given resource, and no one has the right to exclude another.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
People-centric urban sensing
TL;DR: This paper proposes MetroSense, a new people-centric paradigm for urban sensing at the edge of the Internet, at very large scale which is based fundamentally on three design principles: network symbiosis, asymmetric design, and localized interaction.

Mobiscopes for Human Spaces
Tarek Abdelzaher,Yaw Anokwa,Peter Boda,Jeff Burke,Deborah Estrin,Leonidas J. Guibas,Aman Kansal,Samuel Madden,Jim Reich +8 more
TL;DR: A mobiscope is a federation of distributed mobile sensors into a taskable sensing system that achieves high-density sampling coverage over a wide area through mobility as discussed by the authors, which introduces challenges in data management and integrity, privacy, and network system design.
