Abstract
The paper discusses phone as a sensor model. For many applied tasks smart phones are an ideal platform for collecting and processing context-related data. The most popular example is, probably, computational social science. Phones can collect data for conducting various social researches about people’s social behavior. This paper presents an attempt to describe and categorize existing open source libraries for mobile sensing, describe architecture and design patterns as well as discover directions for the future development.
