The urban environment of the early 21st century contains a large number of consumer devices under private and organizational ownership. Many of these devices contain sensors as well as communication capabilities. However, most of these sensors are only used for purposes internal to the device. By interconnecting these sensors we can obtain a network which can serve important societal goals. The technological challenges of interconnecting these sensors are relatively minor. The main problem is the human aspect: why would the owners of the sensors offer their readings up to public use? In fact, privacy considerations might advise the exact opposite. Such a network will not be accepted unless every participating device is motivated to do so. In this paper we describe an architecture which enables such a system by the formal model of motivational gradients. The original source of motivations are always humans; however, nodes acting as autonomous agents can negotiate motivational microgradients based on the original macrogradient introduced by humans. We evaluate the networking and computer human interaction aspects of the proposed architecture.

The urban environment of the early 21st century contains a large
number of consumer devices under private and organizational
ownership. Many of these devices contain sensors as well as
communication capabilities. However, most of these sensors are only
used for purposes internal to the device. By interconnecting these
sensors we can obtain a network which can serve important societal
goals. The technological challenges of interconnecting these
sensors are relatively minor. The main problem is the human aspect:
why would the owners of the sensors offer their readings up to
public use? In fact, privacy considerations might advise the exact
opposite. Such a network will not be accepted unless every
participating device is motivated to do so. In this paper we
describe an architecture which enables such a system by the formal
model of motivational gradients. The original source of motivations
are always humans; however, nodes acting as autonomous agents can
negotiate motivational microgradients based on the original
macrogradient introduced by humans. We evaluate the networking and
computer human interaction aspects of the proposed architecture.
