| Abstract | While smartphone app marketplaces have enabled large-scale app-level experimentation, medium-scale experimentation with the platform code implementing the app interface and providing core device services remains difficult for academic researchers. But this is where many of the ideas currently being explored by the mobile systems community must be evaluated---including new networking protocols, security and privacy mechanisms, storage abstractions, and energy management strategies. To enable these experiments, we built and are operating PhoneLab, a 175-smartphone testbed where real users run experimental Android platform builds on their primary devices. We are eager to make PhoneLab useful to the mobile systems community. To aid in this effort, this article discusses why PhoneLab might be useful for your research and provides an overview of how to use the testbed, including examples drawn from our group's current projects. |
