CommonSense concerns a data harvesting and processing system for Participatory Sensing (P/S). P/S aims to turn personal mobile devices into advanced mobile sensing networks. Thanks to the willingness of the users and the inherent mobility of their daily routines, it is possible to assemble detailed views and interpretations of the physical world without the costs associated with the deployment of dense, wide-area, sensing infrastructures. Examples of the potential of this paradigm already exist, such as experiments combining accelerometer and GPS data to monitor road conservation and traffic congestion.
