1. A system, comprising:
- a processor; and
a memory, wherein the memory comprises components that are executable by the processor, the components comprising;
a receiver component that receives first data that is indicative of a value of information (VOI) for receiving second data from a computing device that corresponds to a user, wherein the second data is indicative of a current context of the user, and wherein the value of information indicates a desirability of a utilitarian computing application receiving the second data; and
a selector component that selects the computing device from a plurality of other computing devices that respectively correspond to other users based at least in part upon the first data.
