Abstract
The widespread and ubiquitous nature of mobile devices makes them attractive as providers of information collected from their rich equipment of sensors (camera, microphone, GPS, etc.), and also from external sensors (placed on persons, or in the environment). Thus, we envision large-scale sensor networks that use mobile devices as raw data sources, but also aggregated information producers - merging basic data coming from sensors distributed in the environment.
In this paper we propose an architectural framework for agile development and deployment of mobile cloud applications, harvesting heterogeneous sensor data. The novelty of the architecture is the possibility to dynamically manage multiple internal and external sensors, and generate graphical user interfaces to collect user inputs and present semantically integrated information, in a cloud-based personalized fashion.
