In this article we discuss the state of the art of (mobile) multihop ad hoc networking. This
paradigm has often been identified with the solutions developed inside the IETF MANET …

Automated and scalable approaches for understanding the semantics of places are critical
to improving both existing and emerging mobile services. In this paper, we present …

The ubiquitous deployment of personal mobile devices today has boosted numerous mobile
sensing applications where sensing data should be timely collected and exchanged among …

Conventional data collection methods that use Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) suffer
from disadvantages such as deployment location limitation, geographical distance, as well …

Crowd-centric research is receiving increasingly more attention as datasets on crowd
behavior are becoming readily available. We have come to a point where many of the …

Crowd-enabled place-centric systems gather and reason over large mobile sensor datasets
and target everyday user locations (such as stores, workplaces, and restaurants). Such …

Recent advances in sensing, computing, and networking have paved the way for the
emerging paradigm of participatory sensing (PS). The openness of such systems and the …

The current age of increased people mobility calls for a better understanding of how people
move: how many places does an individual commonly visit, what are the semantics of these …

Abstract Mobile Crowd Sensing (MCS) is one of the most recent sensing paradigms that
gained its popularity thanks to the advances in mobile computing. A high number of mobile …
