    Study Notes

    Application Lecture 4: Pervasive and Social Sensing

    • The lecture covers pervasive sensing, social sensing, and the internet of things.
    • Pervasive sensing is about sensing everywhere; smartphones are important tools.
    • Smartphones have built-in sensors like accelerometers, GPS, ambient light sensors, microphones, cameras, proximity sensors, and more.
    • Smartphones are rich in processing and storage, acting as management nodes in sensing networks.
    • Well-established wireless/mobile technologies (WiFi, Bluetooth, GPRS, 3G, 4G) are used for communication.
    • Remote surveillance is possible via smartphones, allowing control of appliances and devices.

    Social Sensing

    • Social sensing combines smartphone sensing with social network activity.
    • It's a research focus.
    • Understanding social networks is essential to understanding social sensing.
    • A social metric called sociability measures connection strength.
    • Sociability is based on network constraint (measuring a user's connections to their social group).

    Network Constraint (Ni)

    • Network constraint (Ni) of a node (i) in a social network measures how well-connected it is.
    • The formula for network constraint involves the proportion of time a node (i) spends with each other node (j,q). Calculation based on weights of relationship.

    Example of Social Sensing App

    • Social sensing apps might not require friend circles.
    • Apps might allow sharing of location-aware images, and short-term data like traffic news.

    Internet of Things (IoT)

    • IoT interconnects physical devices, boosting efficiency, business growth, and quality.
    • It's about devices communicating and connecting (smart homes, cities, etc.).
    • IoT has rapidly growing adoption (e.g., 50 billion "smart objects").

    Case Studies

    • Taxi Apps (Uber, Didi Taxi, etc.): Successful models using IoT to connect users with drivers based on location data.
    • Retail Delivery: IoT applications for logistics, connecting customers with delivery, and monitoring.
    • Smart Homes: Trend of using interconnected devices for home controls. Data transfer challenges exist.

    Service Oriented Architecture for IoT

    • An architecture with various layers (application, presentation, session, transport, network, data link, physical) that support the services and the internet interconnectedness.
