Wearable, sensor-equipped devices { often referred to as wearables -- became increasingly available and ubiquitous in recent years. The rising social acceptance of body-worn technology is a driver for the increasing adoption of wearables on the consumer ...

In this paper, we propose an easy-to-install and sustainable setup for BigRoad, a system that supports driving and road data acquisition using COTS devices such as smartphones and IMUs. The in-vehicle setup includes energy harvesting modules and a low ...

Today, mobile devices are equipped with powerful processors along with various on-device sensors. Over the past few years, deep learning has become the dominant approach in the field of machine learning due to its impressive performance. We envision ...

Energy efficiency is a key factor in developing mobile sensing applications. Despite its importance, such laborious and time-consuming energy evaluation process makes developers reluctant to perform the measurement during the development. To this end, ...

What happens after your PhD? This talk will be about my personal (evolving) take on how to start an academic career after a PhD. The PhD process is an intense apprenticeship experience that lasts 6 or more years. The advisor guides you through the ...

Conventional wireless camera systems and the computations running on them for machine vision applications are demanding power-wise. The battery life of wearable camera systems (such as Google Glass) is under an hour when operating with full capacity. ...

In this work, we propose a flexible data management solution for modern mobile platforms like Android. To increase flexibility, our system uses a pluggable solution which lets the data management mechanisms and policies to be developed independently of ...

In resource-constrained environments, organizations helping disadvantaged communities often rely on mobile devices as their field worker's primary computing device. While over two-thirds of the world's population have mobile phones, less than half the ...

Given the likely government mandate, every new vehicle in the near future is expected to have the capability of "talking" to each other. DSRC is the primary technology that has been developed to implement this capability. Via DSRC technology, vehicles ...

Android is a popular platform designed for mobile devices. It consists of a customized Linux kernel, middleware, and a few core applications such as the Phone application. The middleware, commonly referred to as the Android framework, provides libraries ...
