Sensors on mobile phones can enable attractive sensing applications in different domains such as environmental monitoring, social network, healthcare, etc. However, fundamental energy-efficient resource management problems have not been well studied for mobile phone sensing. In addition, how to provide incentives to attract user participation has not been well addressed. The objective of this project is to develop a unified and green platform for mobile phone sensing, optimize its performance by designing energy-efficient algorithms for sensing task management, and develop game-theoretic incentive mechanisms to attract user participation. The proposed research is organized into four cohesive research thrusts: 1) Design and implement a unified software architecture to enable support for various sensing applications. 2) Develop both platform-centric and user-centric incentive mechanisms to attract user participation. 3) Develop energy-efficient algorithms to manage sensing tasks. 4) Test the developed platform and algorithms via simulation and real experiments. This research will result in a unified and green mobile phone sensing system. Fundamental resource management problems will be solved by theoretically-sound and practical algorithms. The project will also result in novel incentive models and mechanisms for mobile phone sensing. In addition, the proposed platform can create a completely new type of online marketplace. The proposed energy-efficient algorithms can benefit both mobile users and the environment. The project is also expected to advance public understanding of mobile phone sensing via publications, seminars and workshops.

手机上的传感器可以在不同领域（例如环境监控，社交网络，医疗保健等）中实现有吸引力的传感应用。但是，基本的节能资源管理问题尚未得到充分研究以进行手机感测。此外，如何提供吸引用户参与的激励措施尚未得到很好的解决。该项目的目的是开发一个统一和绿色的平台，以通过设计用于感应任务管理的节能算法来优化其性能，并开发游戏理论的激励机制来吸引用户参与。拟议的研究被组织为四个凝聚力研究的推力：1）设计和实施统一的软件体系结构，以支持各种传感应用程序。 2）共同开发以平台为中心和以用户为中心的激励机制来吸引用户参与。 3）开发节能算法来管理感应任务。 4）通过模拟和实际实验测试开发的平台和算法。这项研究将导致统一的绿色手机感应系统。基本资源管理问题将通过理论上和实用算法解决。该项目还将导致新颖的激励模型和手机感测的机制。此外，建议的平台可以创建一种全新的在线市场。提出的节能算法可以使移动用户和环境都受益。预计该项目将通过出版物，研讨会和研讨会来提高公众对手机感测的理解。
