“…Ref. [11] discusses potential incentive methods for accomplishing this. A step-change is required both in terms of automating data capture (either through augmenting the current sensor suite of a mobile phone, or finding ways to more cleverly turn data captured through existing sensors into useful information), and in engaging participants, such that they are willing and able to use their personal devices in this way.…”

Abstract-In recent years, the use of mobile phones and tablets for personal communication has increased dramatically, with over 1 billion smartphones out of a total of 5 billion mobile phones worldwide. The infrastructure and technology underlying these devices has improved to a level where it is now possible to integrate sensor technology directly and use them to acquire new data. Given the available resources and the number of technical challenges that have already been overcome, it would seem a natural progression to use mobile communication technology for field-based environmental monitoring. In this work, we review existing technology for acquiring, processing and reporting on environmental data in the field. The objective is to demonstrate whether or not it is possible to use off-the-shelf technology for environmental monitoring. We show several levels at which this challenge is being approached, and discuss examples of technology that have been produced.

“…In this vein, the new concept of mobile sensing as a service (S2aaS) has been introduced [82]. While this concept was proposed and implemented as a standalone application, to aid in data collection about users and their surrounding environment, nevertheless, The principles of exploiting sensing capabilities, of a smartphone to collect data could be attached to the advertising platform.…”

Mobile network operators (MNOs) business models (BM) are under pressure due to their lesser capability of introducing superior values to their customers in the mobile ecosystem. However, recent research efforts in developing new BM advocate twosided BM that encompasses the diversity of MNO's activities and capabilities. As a result, a new multidisciplinary service-based twosided BM needs to be developed that incorporates these activities and skills. The small body of the extant literature on the subject suggests that it may be possible to enhance MNOs' BM by combining contemporary information technology tools with managerial design principles and concepts. This study designs a two-sided mobile advertising BM to investigate the application of a big datadriven BM to transform MNOs' current one-sided BMs to two-sided ones. To accomplish this, it combines the design science research methodology (DSR), which aims to create a problem-solving artifact for real-world problems, and the grounded theory approach, which aims to develop substantive theory and increase the rigor of the design process. The initial BM was proposed using deductive and adductive reasoning from academic and grey literature. The results of this study have shown that the new BM can enhance their revenue streams and competitive edge. This study identified that successful BM should be built on established MNOs core competencies and business activities. This study showed the applicability of two-sided theory and big data-driven tools and technologies to create new superior value propositions to both advertisers and end-users and thus innovative BMs for MNOs. The paper concludes with the fundamental requirements to build a data-driven two-sided BM.

“…Usually, a SaaS cloud works as follows. When a cloud user initiates sensing requests through a Web front-end from either mobile phone or a computer, the request will be forwarded to a sensing server which will then push the request to a subset of mobile phones that happen to be in the area of interest [15]. Such mobile devices will fulfill the corresponding sensing task.…”

This work presents an architecture to help designing and deploying smart mobility applications. The proposed solution builds on the experience already matured by the authors in different fields: crowdsourcing and sensing done by users to gather data related to urban barriers and facilities, computation of personalized paths for users with special needs, and integration of open data provided by bus companies to identify the actual accessibility features and estimate the real arrival time of vehicles at stops. In terms of functionality, the first “monolithic” prototype fulfilled the goal of composing the aforementioned pieces of information to support citizens with reduced mobility (users with disabilities and/or elderly people) in their urban movements. In this paper, we describe a service-oriented architecture that exploits the microservices orchestration paradigm to enable the creation of new services and to make the management of the various data sources easier and more effective. The proposed platform exposes standardized interfaces to access data, implements common services to manage metadata associated with them, such as trustworthiness and provenance, and provides an orchestration language to create complex services, naturally mapping their internal workflow to code. The manuscript demonstrates the effectiveness of the approach by means of some case studies.
