Introducing tempest, a modular platform for in situ data collection

Abstract

In this paper we present Tempest, a tool for conducting studies that rely on in situ data collection, such as the Experience Sampling and Diary methods. It implements a modular architecture and relies on interchangeable parts to allow for increased suitability for multiple purposes and long-term reliability. Tempest focuses on ease of use and deployment, and on making use of participants' own devices.
