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.

参与感应中心将着重于探索和促进新型参与性传感技术和系统的开发和使用，通过参与创建创新的参与性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（纽约大学）正在合作建立拟议中心，与UCLA为领导机构。参与性传感是数据收集，解释和参与的过程，在这些过程中，个人（单独或组中）使用其个人移动设备，Web服务，云计算和社交网络，以客观地探索其世界的有趣方面，从健康到文化。拟议的中心将开发与参与性传感平台和飞行员相关的系统体系结构，算法，机制和数据集。这是一个正在迅速迅速定义的新领域。该提案具有三个相互关联的活动：（1）具有模块化，特定于应用程序的组件，已发布的接口规格和参考实现的常见软件体系结构的设计，开发，发展和传播； （2）仪器的飞行员部署以收集定量数据，识别技术瓶颈并促进新兴应用机会； （3）通过工业顾问委员会，通过，对建筑，特定组件和新型飞行员的成员使用，对建筑，特定组件和新型飞行员的贡献以及对研究计划的总体指导进行的行业合作伙伴参与。对拟议中心的更广泛的影响包括增加代表性不足的群体的参与以及为卫生，社区参与和为多样化人群提供的教育的参与式感应应用的发展。该提案声称，参与式感应有望加入博客和社交网络作为重要的社会力量，因为它利用了移动电话的大量渗透，越来越多地具有先进的感应能力，这些功能始终存在，并在其生活的背景下伴随着所有者。 Twitter和Facebook被称为参与式感知创新的例子，这些创新是最近起飞的。参与式感应可能是另一类的移动对WEB应用程序，它影响了消费者的选择，并为设备和服务提供商制造商提供了差异化的手段。
