Abstract
Today, smart devices like mobile phones and fitness trackers have many sensors. Formatting, combining and querying sensor data from such devices can be a challenging and cumbersome task. In this paper we introduce SWAN-Lake, a distributed mobile framework that provides structured access to sensor data. SWAN-Lake provides access to local sensors as well as access to sensors of nearby devices. Here, we take a distributed approach by using device-to-device communication for exchanging sensor data between smartphones. We evaluate the performance and resource utilization using different sensing scenarios for our SWAN-Lake Android implementation. As a result, we show that our framework is energy efficient and performs well under high load.
