Possible applications are, for instance, smart cities, in which the use of mobile phones as sensors can increase the sustainability of rural areas.

In this course, students will - under supervision - implement such a crowd sensing system. We will have different tasks to complete, ranging from client/server infrastructure implementation to sensor analysis and the design of user applications and their GUIs.

In this course, students will - under supervision - implement such a crowd sensing system. We will have different tasks to complete, ranging from client/server infrastructure implementation to sensor analysis and the design of user applications and their GUIs. Each team will work on a different task and grades will not be influenced by the performance of the other groups.

Outcomes of the course may result in publications at well-known research venues, which the students are then invited to attend.
