The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

Mobile ad hoc networking: milestones, challenges, and new research directions (2014, background): “Cloud computing has gained momentum in the last years as a response to the high increase of service requests derived from new high resource-consuming applications: the computing resources (hardware and software) are delivered as a service over the Internet .”
Smart health: A context-aware health paradigm within smart cities (2014, unknown): “The widespread adoption of sensors within smart cities provides additional interactions through people-centric, participatory, and opportunistic sensing [8, 9].”
PRISM: platform for remote sensing using smartphones (2010, background): “A community sensing application could either be participatory , involving explicit user action (e.g., taking photographs), or opportunistic , operating without user involvement (e.g., recording a GPS trace) [8, 27].”
Opportunities in mobile crowd sensing (2014, background): “[7] discern two classes of sensing paradigms in MCS: • Participatory sensing: It requires the participants to consciously opt to meet the application requests by deciding when, where, what, and how to sense.”
The Rise of People-Centric Sensing (2008, background): “It is useful to consider the two endpoints of the design spectrum of custodian awareness and involvement [8], which can be thought of as opportunistic [2] and participatory [13].”
