With the rapid development of wireless communication and sensor technology, ubiquitous mobile devices equipped with increasingly rich sensors have more powerful computing and sensing abilities. Mobile crowdsensing (MCS), as a special form of crowdsourcing where communities contribute sensing information and human intelligence using mobile devices to form a body of knowledge, has received extensive attentions from both academia and industry. Various MCS applications come forth, such as indoor positioning, environment monitoring, and transportation, etc. MCS spans a wide spectrum of user involvement, from collecting sensor measurements with no user intervention to requiring active participation of mobile users. Despite the growing interest and some commercial success in MCS, MCS still faces significant challenges such as motivation and incentives, low data quality (incomplete data, noisy data, redundant data, etc.), privacy, security and data integrity, localized analytics, resource limitations, context-awareness, sensing resource management, aggregate analytics, and public safety, etc. This workshop aims to bring together researchers in the field of mobile crowdsensing to exchange ideas and advance the research frontier. We invite submissions in the following non-exclusive list of topics:
Paper Submission Deadline: September 27, 2019 (Anywhere on Earth)
Notification of Acceptance: October 8, 2019
Camera-ready Version: October 15, 2019 (Firm Deadline)
Papers must be submitted via EasyChair in the following link: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=mcssa2019
Submitted papers should be written in the English language, with a maximum page limit of 6 printed pages, including all the figures, references and appendices, and not published or under review elsewhere. Papers longer than 6 pages will not be reviewed. Use the standard IEEE Conference templates for Microsoft Word or LaTeX formats found at: https://www.ieee.org/conferences/publishing/templates.html.
Regardless of the source of your paper formatting, you must submit your paper in the Adobe PDF format. The paper must print clearly and legibly, including all the figures, on standard black-and-white printers. Reviewers are not required to read your paper in color.
If the paper is typeset in LaTeX:
You should use an unmodified version of the Microsoft Word IEEE Transactions template (US letter size).
