CMPSCI 491L: Seminar - Participatory Sensing Using Mobile Phones
Professor: Corner, Ganesan

This course provides a venue for exploration into the growing world of participatory sensing and peer-production. While still cameras, video, accelerometers, and GPS all allow users to gather unprecedented amounts of data, indexing, searching and vetting data all remain as problems. Using mobile phones, students will develop innovative and independent research projects that gather information about the world. Students will be provided with cutting-edge phones to develop projects of their own design. This is a non-traditional course, without lectures or homework, just one big project. Students must be self-motivated to come up with innovative ideas, implement them, and try them out. This course will be conducted using equipment and software from Nokia Research. 3 credits.

PreReq: An A or A- in 377 or 453 or by permission of instructor.

This is a highly independent course that will require an independent work ethic.  This course can count as an upper level CS elective.

The class will meet Wednesdays 1:30-3PM in CS150.  Schedule #79281 (Spire has the end time wrong, we will only meet for 90 minutes).
