Abstract

Advances in mobile technologies have led to a novel form of collaborative innovation (CI), namely participatory sensing, a process in which individuals and communities use increasingly more powerful mobile devices, such as cellular and smart phones, to collect and analyze systematic data. In this chapter, the authors describe experiences with the implementation of innovative collaborative environmental mobile applications involving participatory sensing. Specifically they focus on two mobile applications: an invasive species tracking system, and a mapping-based collaborative tourism system.
