It was predictable that today we would be poised for the \"next tier\" of the Internet to take off, but the endgame seems to be even messier than expected.","PeriodicalId":213775,"journal":{"name":"GetMobile Mob.

Examples range from medical and health monitoring applications, such as pedometers and fall detectors, to participatory sensing applications, such as noise pollution, traffic and seismic activity monitoring. Unfortunately, current mobile devices are a poor match for continuous sensing applications as they require the device to remain awake for extended periods of time, resulting in poor battery life. We present Sidewinder, a new approach toward offloading sensor data processing to a lowpower processor and waking up the main processor when events of interest occur. Sidewinder differs from other heterogeneous architectures in that developers are presented with a programming interface that lets them construct custom wake-up conditions by linking together and parameterizing predefined sensor data processing algorithms. Sidewinder's wake-up conditions achieve energy efficiency matching fully programmable offloading, but do so with a much simpler programming interface that facilitates deployment and portability.","PeriodicalId":213775,"journal":{"name":"GetMobile Mob.

The laboratory setting allows evaluators to create not only the environment, but also the scenario in which a user study of system is conducted. Thus, the laboratory setting allows evaluators to control possible confounding variables and to develop insight about the cause-and-effect of the system when they manipulate specific usage factors. For example, it is clear that people often use mobile devices while walking. Thus, a laboratory study can be designed to test how well users might be able to interact with a mobile device while walking on a treadmill machine. Such a study, because it is conducted in a laboratory setting, would allow the evaluators to control the speed at which study participants would walk while using a mobile device, without fearing that participants must also pay attention to traffic or could be distracted otherwise.","PeriodicalId":213775,"journal":{"name":"GetMobile Mob.

Passive sensors allow for measuring changes in electric fields that occur naturally in the environment, enabling detection distances up to 2 m.","PeriodicalId":213775,"journal":{"name":"GetMobile Mob.
