报告题目：Sensing-as-a-Service: Vision, System and Applications（感知即服务：视野、系统和应用）

报告摘要：
        Sensors on (or attached to) mobile phones can enable attractive sensing applications in different domains such as environmental monitoring, social networking, healthcare, etc. In this talk, I will introduce a new concept, Sensing-as-a-Service, i.e., providing sensing services using mobile phones via a cloud computing system. A Sensing-as-a-Service cloud should meet the following requirements: 1) It must be able to support various mobile phone sensing applications. 2) It must be able to support different (embedded or external) sensors. 3) It must be energy-efficient. 4) It must have effective incentive mechanisms that can be used to attract mobile users to participate in sensing activities. First, I will identify unique challenges of designing and implementing a Sensing-as-a-Service cloud and review existing systems and methods. Then I will present design of our unified cloud computing system for mobile phone sensing and demonstrate it using the objective ranking application. In addition, future research directions will be discussed.
