Applications and application-driven research

Content Provider	ACM Digital Library
Author	Roy Choudhury, Romit
Abstract	Mobile phones are becoming a convergent platform for sensing, computing, and communications. This talk will describe our attempts to jointly harness these capabilities, thereby enabling new classes of personal and collaborative applications. Our long term vision is to develop a search engine that will run on a platform of scattered mobile devices, and allow Internet users to browse and search content in the physical world. As an example, an Internet user may be able to view the Eiffel Tower in real time by stitching the camera views from different phones around that location; another user may be able to query mobile phones inside a specific coffee shop to learn if the shop offers free WiFi; yet another user may be able to search for quiet study places in the campus by aggregating ambient sound measurements from phones. This talk will revolve around envisioning a variety of such applications and carving out research questions that underlie them.
