| Abstract(in English) | In order to make participatory sensing succeed, incentives must be provided to users who participate in sensing. Example of such an incentive is that a client pays monetary rewards for users. However, in order to have users participate in labor-consuming sensing, stronger incentives need to be provided, resulting in the higher cost paid by the client. In this paper, we propose a new incentive mechanism which integrates the gamification concept to the existing monetary incentive, aiming to suppress the cost paid by the client. In the proposed incentive mechanism, we focus attention on the existing mileage program of air carriers and model the probability distribution of users participating in each sensing based on the miles to be earned and the labor by conducting each sensing, and the lacking miles to reach the upper premier status level. We formulate the problem to find the best set of user and reward pairs which senses all the sensing points specified by the client and minimizes the total cost paid by the client. This problem is NP-hard, thereby we propose a heuristic algorithm to derive the semi-optimal solution in short time. Through a simulation study, we confirmed that the proposed gamification mechanism reduces the cost paid by the client by 45 % at the most compared to the case without gamification. |
