Abstract
We posit that sensors of the emerging Internet of Things (IoT) should behave courteously. This means that the sensor makes itself known to a subject, that it stops sensing upon request, that it respects the subject as originator of the data and that it negotiates further use of the subject’s data before activating such further use. We state and justify the four fundamental rules for sensor behaviour and outline a methodology for responsible design of sensor-based information systems.
