background: one of the key issues in determining the quality of water in rivers is to create a water quality control network with a suitable performance. the measured qualitative variables at stations should be representative of all the changes in water quality in water systems. since the increase in water quality monitoring stations increases annual monitoring costs, recognition of the station...

Monitoring the status of urban environments, which provides fundamental information for a city, yields crucial insights into various fields of urban research. Recently, with the popularity of smartphones and vehicles equipped with onboard sensors, a people-centric scheme, namely "crowdsensing", for city-scale environment monitoring is emerging. This paper proposes a data correlation based crowd...
