Abstract Mobile Crowd Sensing (MCS) is a novel class of Internet of Things applications
which exploits the inherent mobility of wearable sensors and mobile devices to observe …

Air pollution continues to grow at an alarming rate, decreasing the quality of life around the
world. As part of preventive measures, this paper presents the design and implementation of …

Participatory sensing (PS) is becoming a popular data acquisition means for interesting
emerging applications. However, as data queries from these applications increase, the …

In this paper we focus on mobile crowdsensing applications for community sensing where
sensors and mobile devices jointly collect and share data of interest to observe and …

In recent years several research groups, including ours, have demonstrated participatory
systems that use wearable or vehicle-mounted portable units coupled with smartphones to …

The ubiquitous sensing-capable mobile devices have been fuelling the new paradigm of
Mobile Crowd Sensing (MCS) to collect data about their surrounding environment. To …

Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) consist of low-powered devices that have computation,
wireless communication and environment-sensing capabilities. These low-cost sensors are …

We introduce a system that adds a foveal inset to large-scale projection displays. The
effective resolution of the foveal inset projection is higher than the original display resolution …

Smart sensors, such as smart meters or smart phones, are nowadays ubiquitous. To be
“smart”, however, they need to process their input data with limited storage and …
