ABSTRACT
Now a days, mobile networks is increasingly becoming important part of everyday life due which there is a
rapid evolution mobile phone. Mobile phone comes into a powerful sensing platform. There are many scientists
which are engaged in the emerging field of mobile sensing from a variety of existing communities, such as, mobile
systems, machine learning and human computer interaction. The research and development in this field is rapid
resulting in indispensable carry-on of daily life. But with the increase in development, data integrity and security
has also become an important factor to take into consideration. Importantly, today’s smart phones are
programmable and come with a growing set of cheap powerful embedded sensors, which are enabling the
emergence of personal, group, and community scale sensing applications. The mobile sensing platform
provides many facilities like, it helps to communicate to Wireless sensor networks through a mobile sensor
router Which attached to a users mobile phone. It helps in analysis of the sensed data which is derived from
networks by cooperating with sensor middle- ware on a remote server to capture ones contexts. It also helps in
providing context aware services for mobile users of cellular telephones. In this paper, we will discuss about
different mobile sensing platforms that provides context-aware services for mobile users by accessing the
surrounding wireless sensor networks. Along with this, we will briefly discuss some of the emerging sensing
paradigms.
