The widespread availability of smartphones have enabled the blossom of Mobile Crowd Sensing (MCS) projects, whose goal is to involve users in participatory tasks aimed at building large real-world datasets. In this framework, we present the large-scale experience of the ParticipAct Living Lab, an ongoing experiment at the University of Bologna, which involves about 170 students in MCS campaigns. Specifically, we originally present the analysis of the large set of ParticipAct collected results against some primary datasets in the literature; we present the evaluation and assessment of the original participatory sensing campaign management aspects of ParticipAct; and we report the lessons learned from this wide-scale deployment experience.

Abstract
The widespread availability of smartphones have enabled the blossom of Mobile Crowd Sensing (MCS) projects, whose goal is to involve users in participatory tasks aimed at building large real-world datasets. In this framework, we present the large-scale experience of the ParticipAct Living Lab, an ongoing experiment at the University of Bologna, which involves about 170 students in MCS campaigns. Specifically, we originally present the analysis of the large set of ParticipAct collected results against some primary datasets in the literature; we present the evaluation and assessment of the original participatory sensing campaign management aspects of ParticipAct; and we report the lessons learned from this wide-scale deployment experience.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
