Incentive Mechanisms for Community Sensing
Résumé
Sensing and monitoring of our natural environment are important for sustainability. As sensor systems grow to a large scale, it will become infeasible to place all sensors under centralized control. We investigate community sensing, where sensors are controlled by self-interested agents that report their measurements to a center. The center can control the agents only through incentives that motivate them to provide the most accurate and useful reports. We consider different game-theoretic mechanisms that provide such incentives and analyze their properties. As an example, we consider an application of community sensing for monitoring air pollution.

Algorithmic mechanism design
Algorithmic mechanism design (AMD) lies at the intersection of economic game theory, optimization, and computer science. The prototypical problem in mechanism design is to design a system for multiple self-interested participants, such that the participants' self-interested actions at equilibrium lead to good system performance. Typical objectives studied include revenue maximization and social welfare maximization. Algorithmic mechanism design differs from classical economic mechanism design in several respects.
Incitation économique
On appelle incitation économique (aussi souvent improprement désignée en Français par son équivalent anglais incentive) toute mesure spécifique de politique économique non-obligatoire, cherchant à obtenir des agents qu'elle vise un comportement déterminé, non souhaité par eux, ou qu'ils n'ont pas idée d'adopter au moins au départ, en échange d'un ou plusieurs avantages déterminés. La notion peut alors se concevoir sous différentes formes selon le contexte (économique, commercial...
Durabilité
Les termes durabilité ou soutenabilité sont utilisés depuis les années 1990 pour désigner une configuration de la société humaine qui lui permet d'assurer sa pérennité. Une telle organisation humaine repose sur le maintien d'un environnement vivable, permettant le développement économique et social à l'échelle planétaire et, selon les points de vue, sur une organisation sociale équitable. La période de transition vers la durabilité peut se faire par le développement durable, via la transition énergétique et la transition écologique notamment.
