After Motes and Multihop: Mobile Phones and the Global Mobile Sensor Network

Abstract: Technological advances in sensing, computation, storage, and communications will turn the ubiquitous mobile phone into a global mobile sensing device carried by billions of people world-wide. Sensing will be people- centric, enabling a different way to sense, learn, visualize, and share information about ourselves, friends, communities, the way we live, and the world we live in. People-centric sensing juxtaposes the traditional view of small-scale, mote-based sensor networks with one in which people, carrying sensor-enabled mobile phones, enable opportunistic sensing coverage - ultimately, leading to the dawn of a global mobile sensor network. In the MetroSense Project's vision of people-centric sensing, users are the key architectural system component, enabling a host of new application areas such as personal, public, and social sensing.

Bio: Andrew T. Campbell is an Associate Professor of Computer Science at Dartmouth College where he leads the Sensor Networks Group and is a member of the Institute for Security Technology Studies (ISTS). Prior to joining Dartmouth in 2005 Andrew was an Associate Professor of Electrical Engineering at Columbia University (1996-2005) and a member of the COMET Group where he developed a number of mobile networking technologies. His current research focuses on people-centric sensing where he leads the MetroSense project. Andrew received his PhD in Computer Science (1996) from Lancaster University, England, and the NSF Career Award (1999) for his research in programmable wireless networking. Prior to joining academia he spent 10 years working in industry both in Europe and the USA in product research and development of computer networks and wireless packet networks. Andrew has been a technical program chair for ACM MobiCom and ACM MobiHoc, the general chair for ACM SenSys 2006, and currently chairs the SenSys steering committee. He spent his sabbatical year (2003-2004) at the Computer Lab, Cambridge University, as an EPSRC Visiting Fellow.
