Description

Sensor Web concept relies on smart sensors measuring environmental data (temperature, light, humidity, circulation flow…), and human data (heart rate, temperature, motion…).
In this class I will talk about environmental sensing, wearable sensing, and information systems based on data issued from such sources. I will present some examples of related research activities, as well as some past and recent research I have been conducting myself. I will also propose you a tutorial to build a practical implementation of Sensor Web concept, based on Android OS smartphone. It will consist in an application running reading data from the sensors embedded into the smartphone (ie: accelerometer, GPS…), processing it, and under certain conditions uploading automatically resulting information on Twitter (short message SNS) to share it with a dedicated web community.
