Tutorial Enabling Technologies For Crowd Sensing And Management

In this tutorial we will start with a literature review on the chronological order for IoT, crowd sensing and crowd management, with the objective to set a common underlying reference models. We will tackle and present recent efforts in data collection techniques, where the quality of the reported data highly faces tangible interoperability issues because it has been collected over heterogeneous sources. Such issues include inaccuracies, data -labelling inconsistencies, time-sensitivities and different reporting granularities and finally; how to infer information about the actual situations. Along the whole tutorial, we will highlight the different technologies that enable crowd sensing and management, and their availability in the market. In the last part of the tutorial we will comment on privacy issues, and how privacy is jeopardized in emergency situations where the accuracy level highly depends on the collected data. An interesting trade-off privacy -accuracy will be described.
