OpenMPower: An Open and Accessible Database About Real World Mobile Devices

Abstract

In the last decade we have witnessed the birth and dramatic growth of mobile devices, from cellular-to smart-phones. Despite the huge amount of information achievable from an always-connected reality, researchers that work in the mobile devices field fight against the impossibility to explore, inspect and test their work on such a vast set of possible environments, use case scenarios, hardware and software platforms the smart mobile world is composed of. This pushed the need of a wide open dataset of real world data coming from devices in their real usage context, properly anonymized and conveniently organized to be searchable and accessible. In this paper, we present a platform that brings such a dataset to researchers of the next generation of mobile devices.
