The Center for Participatory Sensing will focus on exploring and promoting the development and the use of novel Participatory Sensing technologies and systems by engaging the diversity of industry partners needed to create an innovative Participatory Sensing ecosystem. University of California-Los Angeles (UCLA) and the New York University (NYU) are collaborating to establish the proposed center, with UCLA as the lead institution. Participatory Sensing is the process of data collection, interpretation and engagement in which individuals (acting alone or in groups) use their personal mobile devices, web services, cloud computing, and social networking, to objectively explore interesting aspects of their worlds, ranging from health to culture. The proposed center will develop systems architectures, algorithms, mechanisms, and data sets associated with Participatory Sensing platforms and pilots. This is a new field that is emerging and being defined rapidly. The proposal has three interrelated activities: (1) design, development, evolution, and dissemination of a common software architecture with modular, application-specific components, published interface specifications, and reference implementations; (2) instrumented pilot deployments to gather quantitative data, identify technology bottlenecks, and foster emergent application opportunities; and (3) industry partner engagement through, member use of, and contribution to, the architecture, specific components, and novel pilots, as well as overall guidance to the research program though the industrial advisory board. The broader impacts for the proposed center include increasing participation of underrepresented groups and development of participatory sensing applications in health, community engagement, and education that serve diverse populations. The proposal claims that Participatory Sensing is poised to join blogging and social networking as a significant social force because it capitalizes on the massive penetration of mobile phones, increasingly with advanced sensing capabilities that are always on and accompany their owners through the context of their lives. Twitter and Facebook are cited as examples of participatory sensing innovation that have taken off recently. Participatory Sensing can be another class of mobile-to-web applications that influences consumer choice and offers a means of differentiation in the market for makers of devices and service providers.

该中心将专注于探索和促进开发和使用新的摩擦传感技术和系统，通过参与创建创新的摩擦传感生态系统所需的行业合作伙伴的多样性。加州大学洛杉矶分校（UCLA）和纽约大学（NYU）正在合作建立拟议中的中心，加州大学洛杉矶分校作为牵头机构。感知是数据收集，解释和参与的过程，其中个人（单独或团体）使用他们的个人移动的设备，网络服务，云计算和社交网络，客观地探索他们世界的有趣方面，从健康到文化。拟议中的中心将开发系统架构，算法，机制和数据集与预测传感平台和飞行员。这是一个新兴的领域，正在迅速定义。该提案有三个相互关联的活动：（1）设计、开发、发展和传播一个通用软件架构，其中包括模块化的、特定于应用的组件、已发布的接口规范和参考实现;（2）仪表化的试点部署，以收集定量数据、识别技术瓶颈，并促进紧急应用机会;以及（3）通过成员使用和贡献架构、特定组件和新试点，以及通过工业咨询委员会对研究计划的总体指导，实现行业合作伙伴参与。拟议中心的更广泛影响包括增加代表性不足的群体的参与，以及在健康、社区参与和教育领域开发参与式传感应用，为不同人群服务。该提案声称，“感知”有望加入博客和社交网络，成为一股重要的社会力量，因为它利用了移动的手机的大规模渗透，越来越多地拥有先进的传感功能，这些功能始终处于开启状态，并伴随着它们的主人度过他们的生活。Twitter和Facebook被引用为最近起飞的参与式传感创新的例子。移动感知可以是另一类移动到Web应用程序，它影响消费者的选择，并为设备制造商和服务提供商提供了一种在市场上实现差异化的手段。
