S-BRAIN #32: Large-scale Opportunistic Sensing in Urban Scenarios

Presenter: Paulo Mendes (SITI, Universidade Lusófona)

Title: Large-scale Opportunistic Sensing in Urban Scenarios

Abstract: Pervasive computing has been mostly used to build systems encompassing a small number of devices that interact with single users or small groups. As technology becomes truly pervasive, low-cost sensing systems may be built and easily deployed based on diverse sensing devices, such as mobile phones, which are carried by a large number of people. Large-scale sensing systems may support a diverse set of applications, mostly related to urban scenarios, from predicting traffic jams and modelling human activities, social interactions and mobility patterns, to community health tracking and city environmental monitoring. This talk aims to introduce de citysense project, which is being developed in SITI aiming to create technology able to augment people daily experience in urban scenarios based on the intelligent analysis of sensorial data opportunistically collected from the environment and from users, and shared among a large set of personal devices.
