Mobile Context-Based Framework for Monitoring Threats in Urban Environment

  • Conference paper

Part of the book series: Communications in Computer and Information Science ((CCIS,volume 368))

Abstract

With a rapid evolution of mobile devices, the idea of context awareness has gained a remarkable popularity in recent years. Modern smartphones and tablets are equipped with a variety of sensors including accelerometers, gyroscopes, pressure gauges, light and GPS sensors. Additionally, the devices become computationally powerful which allows real-time processing of data gathered by their sensors. Universal access to the Internet via WiFi hot-spots and GSM network makes mobile devices perfect platforms for ubiquitous computing. Although there exist numerous frameworks for context-aware systems, they are usually dedicated to static, centralized, client-server architectures. There is still space for research in a field of context modeling and reasoning for mobile devices. In this paper, we propose a lightweight context-aware framework for mobile devices that uses data gathered by mobile device sensors and perform on-line reasoning about possible threats, based on the information provided by the Social Threat Monitor system developed in the INDECT project.

The research presented in this paper is carried out within the EU FP7 INDECT Project: ”Intelligent information system supporting observation, searching and detection for security of citizens in urban environment” ( http://indect-project.eu ).
