<div class="" style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPSMT;">The ubiquity of smart phones together with the popularity of social media heralds an era of mobile and social sensing. Mobile and social sensing is becoming a paradigm for collecting observations of the
physical phenomena, either directly from human observers, or by means of crowd-sourcing the data measurement tasks using sensors in the smart phones or various other wearables (e.g., Google Glass, Apple Watch, and Fitbit devices). It thus involves massive
amount of sensory data collection and/or dissemination where humans can act as sensor carriers (e.g., carrying GPS sensors that share location data), sensor operators (e.g., taking pictures and videos with smart phones), or as sensors themselves (e.g., sharing
their observations on social media). This emerging field faces new challenges in data collection, dissemination, fusion, and mining; cognitive modeling; computational social and behavior science; information and coding theory; information processing and knowledge
discovery; data dissemination and forwarding, reliability, privacy, and security; and cyber-physical-systems with human-in/on-the-loop. This special issue invites technical papers on both theoretical contributions and systems describing original ideas, exciting
results, and real-world experiences in the context of mobile and social sensing.</div>

<div class="" style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPSMT;">Submission Guidelines:</div>
<div class="" style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPSMT;">Manuscripts must not have been previously published nor currently under review by other journals or conferences. Papers previously published in conference proceedings are eligible for submission if the submitted
manuscript is a substantial revision and extension of the conference version. In this case, authors should indicate the previous publication(s) in the cover letter and explain the enhancements made in the journal version. The published conference article(s)
are also required to be submitted together with the journal version. The submission website for this journal is located at <a href="https://www.evise.com/profile/api/navigate/PMC" class="">https://www.evise.com/profile/api/navigate/PMC</a>. Please select
“VSI:Mobile&SocialSensing" when you reach the "Article Type" step in the submission process. To ensure that all manuscripts are correctly identified, for consideration by the special issue, the authors should indicate in the cover letter that the manuscript
has been submitted for the special issue on Mobile and Social Sensing.</div>
