Using their mobile phones as noise sensors, we provide a low cost solution for the citizens to measure their personal exposure to noise in their everyday environment and participate in the creation of collective noise maps by sharing their geo-localized and annotated measurements with the community.

Since mobile Internet services are rapidly proliferating, finding and using appropriate services require profound service descriptions. As a consequence, for average mobile users it is nowadays virtually impossible to find the most appropriate service among the many offered. To overcome these difficulties, task navigation systems have been proposed to guide users towards best-fitting services. Our goal is to improve the user experience of such task navigation systems making them context-aware (i.e. to optimize service navigation by taking the user's situation into account). We propose the integration of a situational reasoning engine that applies classification-based inference to qualitative context elements, gathered from multiple sources and represented using ontologies. The extended task navigator enables the delivery of situation-aware recommendations in a proactive way. Initial experiments with the extended system indicate a considerable improvement of the navigator's usability. }, author = {Luther, Marko and Fukazawa, Yusuke and Wagner, Matthias and Kurakake, Shoji}, doi = {10.1017/S0269888907001300}, eprint = {http://journals.cambridge.org/article_S0269888907001300}, interhash = {c71d15a53708c45d5911e4d9c940cd99}, intrahash = {35ebbce0abbe9bbef462e5479cb419ed}, issn = {1469-8005}, journal = {The Knowledge Engineering Review}, month = feb, number = {Special Issue 01}, numpages = {13}, pages = {7--19}, title = {Situational reasoning for task-oriented mobile service recommendation}, url = {http://dx.doi.org/10.1017/S0269888907001300}, volume = 23, year = 2008 } @article{song2010limits, abstract = {A range of applications, from predicting the spread of human and electronic viruses to city planning and resource management in mobile communications, depend on our ability to foresee the whereabouts and mobility of individuals, raising a fundamental question: To what degree is human behavior predictable? Here we explore the limits of predictability in human dynamics by studying the mobility patterns of anonymized mobile phone users. By measuring the entropy of each individual's trajectory, we find a 93% potential predictability in user mobility across the whole user base. Despite the significant differences in the travel patterns, we find a remarkable lack of variability in predictability, which is largely independent of the distance users cover on a regular basis. }, author = {Song, Chaoming and Qu, Zehui and Blumm, Nicholas and Barabási, Albert-László}, doi = {10.1126/science.1177170}, eprint = {http://www.sciencemag.org/cgi/reprint/327/5968/1018.pdf}, interhash = {f2611a08bf6db54f86e884c05f3cb5fb}, intrahash = {a89330f8eb32ce62b5f5c9a2b4909f25}, journal = {Science}, number = 5968, pages = {1018--1021}, title = {Limits of Predictability in Human Mobility}, url = {http://www.sciencemag.org/cgi/content/abstract/327/5968/1018}, volume = 327, year = 2010 } @article{naaman2008zonetag, abstract = {We describe ZoneTag, a camera phone application that allows users to capture, annotate, and share photos directly from their phone.}, address = {Los Alamitos, CA, USA}, author = {Naaman, Mor and Nair, Rahul}, doi = {http://doi.ieeecomputersociety.org/10.1109/MMUL.2008.69}, editor = {Panchanathan, Sethuraman}, interhash = {0eaa336bc425a2710aefe9b2a4f3711d}, intrahash = {3a6067d3abc1cfdb9b59aa8e222ea664}, issn = {1070-986X}, journal = {IEEE MultiMedia}, number = 3, pages = {34-40}, publisher = {IEEE Computer Society}, title = {ZoneTag's Collaborative Tag Suggestions: What is This Person Doing in My Phone?}, volume = 15, year = 2008 } @misc{candia-2007, abstract = { Novel aspects of human dynamics and social interactions are investigated by means of mobile phone data.
