  abstract = {An increasing number of platforms like Xively or ThingSpeak are available to manage ubiquitous sensor data enabling the Internet of Things. Strict data formats allow interoperability and informative visualizations, supporting the development of custom user applications. Yet, these strict data formats as well as the common feed-centric approach limit the flexibility of these platforms. We aim at providing a concept that supports data ranging from text-based formats like JSON to images and video footage. Furthermore, we introduce the concept of extensions, which allows to enrich existing data points with additional information, thus, taking a data point centric approach. This enables us to gain semantic and user specific context by attaching subjective data to objective values. This paper provides an overview of our architecture including concept, implementation details and present applications. We distinguish our approach from several other systems and describe two sensing applications namely AirProbe and WideNoise that were implemented for our platform.},

  abstract = {The connection of ubiquitous and social computing is an emerging research
 area which is combining two prominent areas of computer science.
 In this paper, we tackle this topic from different angles: We describe
 data mining methods for ubiquitous and social data, specifically
 focusing on physical and social activities, and provide exemplary
 analysis results. Furthermore, we give an overview on the Ubicon
 platform which provides a framework for the creation and hosting
 of ubiquitous and social applications for diverse tasks and projects.
 Ubicon features the collection and analysis of both physical and
 social activities of users for enabling inter-connected applications
 in ubiquitous and social contexts. We summarize three real-world
 systems built on top of Ubicon, and exemplarily discuss the according
 mining and analysis aspects.},
